Troubled aristocrat Lawrence returns to his ancestral pile after the disappearance of his brother, falls for his sibling's girl, but soon discovers that a wild beast is on the loose savaging the locals and that the origins of this lycanthrope might be a bit closer to home than he'd have wished for. 'Even a man who is pure of heart And says his prayers by night May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the autumn moon is bright' A faithful remake of the 1940s classic. 'It is said there is no sin in killing a beast Only in killing a man But where does one begin and the other end?'
