When six college kids in a sleepy Southern town are assigned a group project to rediscover a moment in history, one of them sets in motion a horrific fate when he proposes they head into the Georgia backwoods to tackle the legend of Emily Burt, the Talbot County werewolf. 'Lycan' is a Hitchcockian tale of horror set in 1986 that delves into a hundred year old fable where our students are met with very real consequences that go beyond any classroom lessons.
An indistinct muddle of werewolf mythology, slasher formula and "teenagers in the woods" clichés, the horror pastiche "Lycan" might've been a passable picture if writer-director Bev Land had settled on what he was making.
