Plot :
The film starts off with the original rhyme as told by the Maleva. It then cuts to Ben Talbot, in the Blackmoor woods armed with a pistol. Before he is confronted by a werewolf which claws across his face and then guts him. He runs but to no avail.
Lawrence Talbot returns to his ancestral home for his brother’s funeral, after receiving a letter from his brother’s fiance Gwen Conliffe. His father greets him and allows him to see Ben’s body, which is thoroughly mangled and torn apart.
He finds a mysterious medallion with his brother’s belongings, and is told it came from the nearby gypsy camp. He travels there, much to his fathers annoyance, on a full moon. He arrives at the camp and is told that the item is from Maleva.
When he goes to see her she warns him of great danger, just as an unnamed werewolf turns up at the camp and kills and maims most of the villagers. A young boy strays from the camp and the werewolf chases him. Lawrence follows him, but the boy ignores him. He is subsequently attacked by the werewolf and bitten on the neck, but the gypsies scare it off, and Lawrence is tended to and taken to his father.
He heals unnaturally quick and finds the wound no more than just a scar. He explores his house at night and remembers walking outside during the night and finding his father cradling his dead mother. She had slit her own throat. Inspector Francis Aberline of Scotland Yard arrives and questions Lawrence. Both are suspicious of each other, and Aberline departs. Soon after priests and local religious men arrive to take Lawrence away and kill him, but his father saves him.
Many nights after on the full moon, Lawrence sees his father walking out to the crypt. He follows and finds a cell containing his father. He then locks the door with Lawrence outside just as his son begins to transform into his werewolf form. Elsewhere Aberline plans to spend the evening at the local tavern and villagers set up a trap for the wolf man. Lawrence, now fully changed alerts everyone to his presence by howling for the first time. He attacks and kills all of the villagers that set the trap.
When he changes back he is greeted by his father. He is arrested by the police and Aberline, and is taken to the mental institution his father sent him to as a child.
He is tortured and awakes in his cell, his father now with him. He explains that the institution had convinced him that his mother killed herself, but what he really saw was his father as a werewolf, who had killed his mother. He then explains how he was bitten by a wolf boy in a cave when he was traveling in the Hindu Kush mountains with his friends, and how for the past 25 years, Singh the man servant has locked him in the crypt, but he broke loose and killed Ben.
It is also assumed, but not confirmed that it was Sir John who bit Lawrence. Lawrence then vows to kill him and is taken into a court of scholars to prove, as the full moon comes out that there are no werewolves. But he transforms and kills most of the men and women in the building. He then rampages across London. Aberline orders his men to capture Lawrence, who is traveling back to Blackmoor to kill Sir John.
Lawrence arrives at Talbot Manor to find Singh’s decapitated head impaled on a post. Lawrence arms himself with the man servant’s silver bullets and finds one of Aberline’s men dead in Sir John’s armchair. Father and son change, and fight, with Lawrence pushing his father into the fire before killing him. Aberline tries to shoot but Gwen pushes him and the Wolfman bites and throws him aside, going after Gwen. Gwen then shoots Lawrence with a silver bullet and kills him. Aberline appears clutching to the silver cane. Talbot Manor appears in flames and a wolves howl is heard, presumably Aberline.
Cast :
* Benicio del Toro as Lawrence Talbot/The Wolfman
* Anthony Hopkins as Sir John Talbot, Lawrence’s father. Hopkins said the Universal Horror series “when played today come across as pretty corny, but they were entertaining.”
* Emily Blunt as Gwen Conliffe, with whom Talbot falls in love. Blunt liked the “mythological”, “gothic and majestic” story and signed on despite her fear of horror films. Blunt said Gwen was probably the first “innately good” character she ever played.
* Hugo Weaving as Francis Aberline, who investigates murders by the transformed Talbot. The name Francis Aberline is a play on Frederick Abberline, who was a real life Victorian inspector working on the Jack the Ripper case.Other cast includes: Gene Simmons (voice of The Wolfman)[26], Geraldine Chaplin (Maleva), Art Malik (Singh), Nicholas Day (Colonel Montford), Michael Cronin (Dr. Lloyd), Dianne Pilkington (Opera Singer), David Sterne (Kirk), Sam Hazeldine (Horatio), and Big Brother 8′s Emily Parr (Prostitute).
