Plot
Soon after returning to his childhood home in search of his missing brother. Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) learns of a creature with incredible strength and a thirst for blood has been killing the townsfolk.
As the story unfolds Talbot grows closer to his brothers fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) and learns of an ancient curse that transforms the bitten into werewolves during a full moon. After surviving an attack from the beast feared by the villagers, Lawrence knows what his future holds.
In order to end the curse, and save the ones he loves, Lawrence must defeat his past and the creature that hunts in Blackmoor Woods.

You never know how the movie's going to be, but from what we've done so far, which, mind you, hasn't been very much, what I would say to fans is that at least you know that the guy who's doing the makeup in the movie is coming from the same place they are - as a fan. — Rich Baker, The Wolf Man Make-up Artist — Entertainment Weekly
