The Curse of the Werewolf
Oliver Reed scores in one of his early lead roles as the tormented hero of Hammer Films’ only foray into lycanthropy, set in 18th century Spain and shot on sets built for an Inquisition project that the censor forbid Hammer to make. Anthony Dawson is great as the depraved, syphilitic Marques Siniestro who sets the plot in motion.
