"Father, the bullet. Pepe the watchman has a silver bullet. Get it and use it. Use it on me, father! You must use it -- do you hear? You must use it! You must!" - Leon

Why watch this? Hammer films only produced one werewolf film - this is it.

Plot Summary: In 18th century Spain, a woman is raped by a jailed beggar. She dies in childbirth, but her son, Leon, survives. He is raised by a kind couple, but they know that the boy is cursed. This revelation comes true when he transforms into a snarling werewolf.

Dad's Preview: This tragic story is reasonably entertaining, but not the best Hammer horror film made. That said, Oliver Reed as the werewolf is unforgettable! Curiously enough, this was to be the first werewolf movie to be filmed in color. It was also the only werewolf film Hammer Studios made.
