Plot.
After injecting new life into classic movie monsters Dracula and
Frankenstein, Hammer Studios apply their Gothic touch to another monster
genre with this excellent, stylish piece -- probably the best of the old
school (i.e. pre-Rick Baker) man-to-wolf transformation films in the mold of
Universals The Wolf Man. The title curse surfaces when a mute servant girl
bears a child on Christmas day after being raped by a bestial madman and
first shows itself at the infant's christening, whereupon the holy water
begins to boil. Things go downhill from there, as young Leon's development is
marred by savage, violent behavior during a full moon. Upon adulthood, Leon's
(Oliver Reed) only relief from his murderous impulses comes from the love of
Christina (Catherine Feller)... but he soon begins to fear that this cannot
contain the beast within. Liberally based on Guy Endore's The Werewolf of
Paris (here relocated to Spain), this film represents Hammer at their early
best, building tension through mood and character (Reed turns in a bravura
performance) and saving the effective monster transformation for the climax.
