Storyline

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. His father sent him from the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor to an insane asylum, then he goes to America. When his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns to his father's estate to learn that his brother's mauled body has been found. Reunited with his estranged father, Lawrence sets out to find his brother's killer... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Someone or something with brute strength and insatiable blood lust has been killing the villagers, and a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline comes to investigate.

Trivia

In an uncredited cameo, the character of Max von Sydow says he purchased the silver-headed cane at Gevaudan "lifetimes ago". Gevaudan is famous for a series of attacks on humans that were believed to be caused by werewolf known as the beast of Gevaudan. The scene featuring von Sydow appears only on the director's cut.

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Sir John identifies the Saint on the medallion found on the body of Ben as St. Columbanus a saint from the East who was a gypsy, but in fact St. Columbanus was a very well known Irish saint who founded the monastery on Iona one of the most important in Christendom and in the conversion of the Scottish people.
