THE WOLFMAN (2010)
SYNOPSIS
Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a
legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a
cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner
Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted
nobleman lured back to his family estate after his
brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father
(Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to
find his brother...and discovers a horrifying destiny for
himself.
Lawrence Talbot’s childhood ended the night his
mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet
of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying
to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen
Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her
missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search.
He learns that something with brute strength and
insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and
that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named
Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.
As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an
ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves
when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at
ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has
grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature
in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts
for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured
past will uncover a primal side to himself…one he
never imagined existed. --© Universal Pictures
