Review Summaries
"A child is born from a mother who was raped by a beastly prison inmate. It was never clear if the prisoner was a werewolf. Almost an hour into the film, we are finally introduced to the protagonist (Oliver Reed) a strapping young Spaniard who sets out to the big city to make a life of his own. While there he is subjected to the debauchery of city existence which causes him to transform into the werewolf and go around killing the city's inhabitants.
It is at this point that Reed asks to be killed by a silver bullet. But the town's magistrate's refuses the request and keeps Reed locked up in prison as a suspect in the previous night's massacre.
Reed transforms a final time, to wreak havoc on the town, by climbing up roofs and hanging out in a bell tower. It's in this setting where Reed as the werewolf dies at the hands of his guardian via a silver bullet.
The movie is all exposition spending far too much time explaining the genesis of the werewolf and what causes the transformations. This is not to say that this is not interesting, because it is. However the "real" story involving Reed and his confrontation with himself and the townspeople seemed rushed as a result of it. For example, Reed has a love interest, but this subplot never seems to begin or develop for that matter. All of the sudden Reed is madly in love with an engaged woman.
