Oliver Reed stars as the villainous son of a beggar condemned by his father’s rapacity to the animal desires of a wolf., synopsis_: Hairy Hammer horror starring notorious hell-raiser Oliver Reed in his first credited role as Leon, a man who has lived a cursed existence thanks to the evil circumstances of his conception., After injecting new life into classic movie monsters Dracula and Frankenstein, Hammer Studios apply their Gothic touch to another monster genre with this excellent, stylish piece — probably the best of the old school (i.e. pre-Rick Baker) man-to-wolf transformation films in the mold of Universal’s The Wolf Man. The title curse surfaces when a mute servant girl bears a child on Christmas day after being raped by a bestial madman and first shows itself at the infant’s christening, whereupon the holy water begins to boil. Things go downhill from there, as young Leon’s development is marred by savage, violent behavior during a full moon. Upon adulthood, Leon’s (Oliver Reed) only relief from his murderous impulses comes from the love of Christina (Catherine Feller)… but he soon begins to fear that this cannot contain the beast within. Liberally based on Guy Endore’s The Werewolf of Paris (here relocated to Spain), this film represents Hammer at their early best, building tension through mood and character (Reed turns in a bravura performance) and saving the effective monster transformation for the climax., Hammer chiller (and Oliver Reed’s first lead role) about a man who struggles to control the wolf within him, but fails when he is denied the girl he loves., Horror tale about a youth (Oliver Reed) fighting his heritage in 18th-century Spain. Alfredo: Clifford Evans. Cristina: Catherine Feller. Siniestro: Anthony Dawson. Servant Girl: Yvonne Romain. Teresa: Hira Talfrey. Marquesa: Josephine Llewellyn. Beggar: Richard Wordsworth. Directed by Terence Fisher., Oliver Reed is the cursed one, doomed to become a murderous werewolf when the full moon shines in this intelligent Hammer version of one of horror’s classic legends, set by director Terence Fisher in a Spain made sinister despite the sun.
