PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The most important thing to quarterback Tony Walker (ADAM ARKIN) is to win the big game against archrival Simpson High. But this plan soon changes when Tony is bitten by a werewolf \u2013 and that\u2019s when things really start to get hairy! Now, whenever there\u2019s a full moon, he transforms into a growling beast that hungrily chases down beautiful girls. Cursed to live forever as a teenager with uncontrollable urges, Tony realizes he must find a way to end this cycle of animalistic excess.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Full Moon High<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer which does look decent, though I did notice a few minor specs here and there. Still, detail was pretty good and colors were bright enough without appearing bolstered.<\/p>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track is certainly… loud, I actually had to adjust the volume down as this track did tend to top out a few times. I don\u2019t know if this had something to do with the sound design or the transfer, but once getting the volume right, I did find the dialogue was clear and the music does also encompass the central channel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
