The premise
A werewolf prowls around at night but only kills certain members of one family. It seems like just a coincidence, but the investigating Inspector soon finds out that this tradition has gone on for generations and tries to find a link between the werewolf and the family, leading to a frightening conclusion.
Horror Vault's take
Something ancient and predatory haunts the grounds of a centuries-old English estate, targeting members of a single aristocratic family with chilling precision. When a Scotland Yard inspector arrives to investigate, he begins to unravel a genealogical mystery that stretches back generations. The deeper the inquiry goes, the more unsettling the connection between bloodline and beast becomes. This stylish 1942 chiller blends old-dark-house Gothic atmosphere with genuine detective procedural tension.
