A fairly dull werewolf film that seems scared to play upon it's horror theme and instead implies a family inherited mental condition and acts like a meandering detective film. The sets are fialr excellent but underused apart from a fantastic night time chase scene along a cliff top path, swirling in fog as the wolf howls in the night. In this scene the film comes alive briefly and the film is tense and dramatic. However soon it is back to the house full of creepy butlers and secret rooms. The film doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be an Old Dark House style detective story or a proper werewolf story and in the end does not succeed fully at either. The story doesn't allow the characters to come alive and the identity of the wolf is obvious from the start. However all the characters are so similar it's difficult to tell them apart. The film does wake up towards the end as the wolf is chased again along the cliff towards its demise and revealing. By this time it's too little too late though. Notable moments are the moments of moody landscape and the piercing howls in the night. 6/10.
