this movie was nothing like i expected it to be. i was very disappointed. the way the movie is filmed you would think this movie was made 20 years ago. the story line is pitiful. wasted my time watching this one for sure,just kept thinking maybe it would get better,it didnt.

Well lets see were to start. It was just not what I expected at all. It had potential, Great cast, great director, but it just fell flat, and never got back up. Anthony Hopkins of course, made the best of his part, and was the best part of the movie. Although I'm a big fan of Benicio Del Toro, his best work has been to date, The Usual Suspects. 2 out of 5

Weak plot, TERRIBLE acting, cheesy effects, LAME characters, made you wish the actors would all die, so the movie would END. HAPPY I did'nt PAY to suffer through it in a theatre. Hollywood is going to CRAP, is there "anyone" with an original idea left? ARGH.........."painful"......-10 stars.

You don't have to be a psychology major to figure out that it's not just about Lycanthropy. There is a beast in every man. The beast in man hates his father for killing (ie: having sex with) his mother. His father kills his wife for threatening to leave with his first son. His first son threatens to leave with his girlfriend whose resemblance to his wife is picture perfect. After his first son dies, the father's beast infects his second son. The second son vows to the girlfriend to find the killer of his brother, and kill him. The second son soon realizes that it is the father's sickness that has infected him, and that he must kill his father. The beastly son wanders through the palatial mansion that is in disrepair since anything good has been turned into evil. Both the beastly father and son lust after the girlfriend. In the final battle, the son kills his father by casting him into the fire, and severing his head. The girlfriend flees to the place where she first felt love for the son, and is followed by the beast. The beast recognizes the feminine, and is released from his suffering.
