Werewolves On Wheels [1971]

This one has been in the queue for years and with a small group, it made sense to finally knock it off our list. The title is honestly and unfortunately one of the best things about this film. 

The film starts with an extensive scene of motorcycling as our tribe finds itself in some sort of café. One of the characters does a tarot reading for a girl they're with and the result is very bad. After another driving montage, the crew finds themselves in a field near a monastery where a bunch of ominous monks offer focaccia and wine goblets that make them sleep (Adam insisted that the focaccia means they're the good guys because he's an Italian-American stereotype). We got a decently strange sequence of Satanic rituals involving a cat murder (Sarah covered Mara's eyes), chanting, and the girl from before dancing with a snake (Sarah covered her own eyes). In the morning, the crew heads out on the road and we get a bunch of driving scenes interspersed with the occasional disappearance and minor shenanigan as they try to figure out who the werewolf is. Some minor characters die. They light some cars on fire. They wander around sand dunes. Ultimately there were two werewolves. They fight. One of them stops, drops, and rolls through a fire. The end.

It was pretty boring. Could have used more rituals.
