Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. His father sent him from the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor to an insane asylum, then he goes to America. When his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns to his father's estate to learn that his brother's mauled body has been found. Reunited with his estranged father, Lawrence sets out to find his brother's killer... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Someone or something with brute strength and insatiable blood lust has been killing the villagers, and a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline comes to investigate.

Mark Romanek was going to direct but left the project over budget disagreements.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In Gwen's antique shop there is what seems to be a small replica of Rodin's "The Thinker". The film takes place during 1891 and Rodin's "The Thinker" was created around 1902. However, it isn't really "The Thinker", as the statue in the film, despite sharing the same position, is dressed and notably less muscular than Rodin's statue.
