Lucy (Brooke Markham) and Karen (VyVy Nguyen) work at a small town ice cream parlor doing what's basically dead end jobs, slowly seeing their ambitions fading, when a weird woman (Erin Daniels) comes in after closing time and demands to be served despite not having any money. When she's refused service, she has her handpuppet (!) scratch Lucy's arm and curses her to become a werewolf. The girls take this seriously enough to drive to a locked down camp site where Karen is to shoot Lucy dead should she actually turn. That said, the girls haven't actually thought this through, and somehow a colleague from work, Eric (Jimmy Bellinger) turns up to fright them shitless but gets shot dead by Karen instead, and eventually Lucy actually does turn - and from here on things spin out of control, as somehow Eric's revived as a zombie, the girls' boss shows up and proves to be a cryptozoologist, and even Bigfoot makes a surprise appearance ...

As a whole, horror comedies are very hit or miss, with the majority falling into the miss-category - but this is a rather delightful one, basically because it centers more than on the horror action on its two central characters, who are actually very well-written and have something of a Laurel and Hardy vibe to them. And that both Brooke Markham and VyVy Nguyen do a really good job embodying them, warts and all, and develop the necessary on-screen chemistry really helps to bring this to life, as does a directorial effort well-versed in both horror and comedy, to make this into one piece of really fun genre entertainment.
