The Wolf Man is an American horror film and a remake of the 1941 Universal Classic, The Wolf Man.

Plot
Lawrence Talbot was once a member of a regal family from the Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor. After the tragic death of his mother, Talbot left Europe and remained away for many years. Talbot doesn't return to Blackmoor until he encounters Gwen Conliffe, his brother's fiancée. Gwen tells Lawrence that his brother has turned up missing and Lawrence agrees to help out with the search party.

The search brings Talbot into a grisly web of intrigue involving a series of brutal, animalistic murders. As he is drawn deeper and deeper into the drama, he discovers his growing attachment for Gwen Conliffe, and also learns of the dark secret that lurks within himself.
