The Priest

Único filme cujo tema é a licantropia produzido pela Hammer Film Productions, The Curse of the Werewolf foi dirigido por Terence Fisher em 1961. Repleto de símbolos religiosos e pagãos, e com a tensão sexual a emergir de forma naturalmente animalesca.

Livremente baseado no romance The Werewolf of Paris, o filme desloca a ação para a Espanha do século XVIII.
