Based on the true story of Manuel Romasanta (Julian Sands), a Spanish serial killer who murdered 15 people between 1847-1851. He believed he was a werewolf, and drained his victims body fat to make soap...

From Brian Yuzna's Filmax studios, 60% drama, 40% horror, well-acted with a few suspenseful moments and lots of gory wounds. I thought this film wasn't bad plus, it was nice to see Julian Sands again.

More stuff to expect:

4 Dead wolves
2 Dead birds
1 Dead pig
1 Autopsy
1 Silver Bullet
Acupuncture
Nude running through the forest
Silver-Knife-fu
Kinky-Soap-fu
One cool old school non-CGI werewolf transformation

From Lions Gate. Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1), DD 5.1 Audio. No extras except trailers for Undead, Desperate Souls, The Mangler: Reborn, GhostWatcher II, Ginger Snaps Back, Saw II.

Worth checking out :)

I kept looking at this one a couple of times, but passed it by. Julian Sands is usually great...I might just have to rent it this week! Thanks Helly! :D

I think I will pick this up as soon as it goes to MVP for free at Hollywood Video.

A favorite pastime of werewolves, no doubt. ;)

This movie wasn't bad, but it was marketed as a horror movie when it was more of a psychological thriller. Even the title Werewolf Hunter is completely misleading.

I wasn't sure about this when I read the synopsis on Amazon. But then I read one elsewhere and now the one in this thread and I think I'll check this sucker out. Thanks for the heads up.
