The synopsis goes something like this ...
The film centres around Reed's Leon Coledo who, after being orphaned at birth, is taken in by Don Alfredo Corledo (Evans). Life's pretty good for Leon once he becomes an adult - works in a wine cellar, falls in life with the owner's daughter Cristina ... oh, and turns into a werewolf during every full moon, terrorizing his local town and its residents.

Something to sink your teeth into ...
