This is a Spanish werewolf movie. It's about a college professor whom, during a mountain expedition, is attacked by something while the rest of his party dies. He was bitten by a werewolf and thus, upon the full moon, becomes one. He puts his trust in a couple of his female colleagues to try to cure him, but one seems to have other plans on how to exploit his curse. The other is too useless to do anything about it.
This is one of the slowest paced werewolf movies I recall seeing. Though the general premise could be interesting, the pacing, character development and plot throw in a few unnecessary loops. The villainess is actually out to use scientific knowledge her father left her to control the human brain to make people behave the way she wants them to. This is explained vaguely without any real sort of attempt at showing proof for the suspension of disbelief, aside from some staring at and whipping of the werewolf.
She keeps him and their other colleague locked up in her castle home, and at one point, some clumsy editing splices in film from another werewolf movie the lead actor did, of him escaping and running around town killing random people (except for one girl he seemingly pops into bed with for a moment, then leaves a scene later with her alive, IDEK). Despite this, once the villainess has left him and their other colleague alone for a while, they are unable to find any way to escape the castle fortress.
The movie just ends up being rather silly and it's never really clear WHY the woman wants to mind control a werewolf, but she fails or course, because really, the werewolf is more of the hero in this movie. Though that doesn't keep him from meeting his own sorry end.
Not a good movie if you really want to see exciting werewolf action, but good for a laugh if you enjoy making fun of continuity issues, some bad dubbing and big eyelashes.
