Werewolf, The (1956) - DVD

Believing he is a wolf trapped in a human body, Jacob (George MacKay) eats, sleeps, and lives like a wolf. He's sent to a clinic where he undergoes increasingly extreme forms of 'curative' therapies at the hands of The Zookeeper (Paddy Considine). However, once he meets the mysterious Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp), and as their friendship blossoms into an undeniable infatuation, Jacob is faced with a challenge: will he renounce his true self

A real-estate tycoon, his coke-binging wife and a slum wino have something grisly in common: They're the latest victims in a series of random murders. A veteran NYPD detective soon suspects the killings may be supernatural and deliberate; caused by ages-old beings of cunning intelligence and incredible power defending their turf from the encroachments of humankind. Using a Steadicam and Louma crane to simulate the predators' perspective, director Michael Wadleigh (Woodstock) achieves a remarkable blend of New York City mystery and menace not captured on film before. With deft performances by Albert Finney, Gregory Hines, Diane Venora and Edward James Olmos, Wolfen is a full-fanged, full-throttle horror ride.

One year ago, a supermoon event triggered a global outbreak, transforming anyone exposed to moonlight into bloodthirsty werewolves for just one night. Now, as the next supermoon rises, former marine and Global Rapid Response Team Leader Wesley Marshall (Frank Grillo) teams up with scientists Dr. Aranda (Lou Diamond Phillips) and Dr. Amy Chen (Katrina Law) to find a cure before humanity is lost, but as chaos and carnage unfold, Marshall must fight off killer beasts and risk everything to protect his family.
