The premise

Lawrence Talbot, an American man on a visit to Victorian London to make amends with his estranged father, gets bitten by a werewolf and, after a moonlight transformation, leaves him with a savage hunger for flesh.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the fog-drenched moors of Victorian England, this lavish remake follows Lawrence Talbot as a reunion with his cold and distant father takes a horrifying turn after a savage encounter leaves him forever changed. Each rising full moon becomes a source of mounting dread as Lawrence struggles to reconcile his civilised identity with the beast awakening within him. Anchored by a brooding star-studded cast, the film leans hard into classic monster movie atmosphere, delivering gothic grandeur and gruesome practical transformation sequences in equal measure.
