Same with mustelids (weasels, minks, martens, fishers, badgers, wolverines…) although otters and ferrets seem to do reasonably well.

Still, I'd gladly see a movie about an American werebadger. Surplus killing, razor-sharp claws, bone-crushing teeth, being able to dig a hidey-hole in minutes flat — and a naturally vicious attitude? WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN DONE?!!

Still haven't seen it, but I think "Mulberry Street" had the folks bitten by mutant rats transforming.

I don't recall there being any actual on-screen TFs; it's more of a slow change that takes place over the course of the earlier part of the movie, kind of like Ginger Snaps, and it's mostly focused on a male character. That said, there are at least two off-screen female TFs where we see the end result.

It's a surprisingly good movie despite the silly premise, but don't watch it with the expectation of a decent female TF. Just enjoy the movie for its own sake.

Off-screen... off-screen... I'd send the directors' asses off-screen from the planet Earth every time they perpetrate these criminal acts.

and thats why i love films from the 80's they showed tfs on screen. there was no off screen. they also didn't have cgi, only special effects and makeup.

There was also some truly god-awful schlock.
I can understand the need for visual stimulae, but given Hollywood's propensity for taking a massive dump on the subcultures they supposedly represent, I'd just as soon take a halfway decent story with no effects to cheeseball garbage with $50 of obvious CGI.
Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice - man, get that bullshit off my premium channels!
