The premise
A child conceived by a mute servant girl transforms from an innocent youth to a killer beast at night with uncontrollable urges.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the sun-baked landscapes of 18th-century Spain, this Hammer Studios classic follows a young man whose cursed origins mark him from birth with a terrible, violent secret. As he grows into adulthood, the light of the full moon awakens something monstrous within him that no act of will or love seems able to contain. Oliver Reed delivers a raw, anguished breakthrough performance as a tormented soul fighting a losing battle against his own savage nature. It is as much a tragedy of circumstance and inherited darkness as it is a creature feature.
