Okay northwoods adventure romance, werewolf-adjacent at best, since there's not a wolfman or werewolf, just a guy that gets a transfusion of wolf's blood that makes him violent and do something he can't remember. But it's only temporary. Watched with sound off because the modern death metal, or whatever it is, track laid over it is completely incongruous and doesn't fit with the film at all. It's distracting and annoying.
