sorta kinda spoiler in here but if you have read the other review on imdb there nothing new . most aren not familiar with the manuel romasanta story ( no reason why they should ) and when they see the dvd case ( i be not familiar with theatrical hype ) and they be quite justify in pick it up expect a werewolf film . they be also quite justified in be disappoint . they be victim of sleight of hand marketing . don not know where the decision be make but whoever even choose to present the blurb . in the tradition of the howling . nope . in the tradition of gothic and maybe . i enjoy this movie but i think i enjoy because when i learn it be come and and be the curious person i be and i dug into the story of manuel romasanta . this be my suggestion to those who have not see this movie represent 1 ) light up your internet and put manuel romasanta into your favorite search engine . ignore all hit that pertain to this movie and collect a little history about a real life and and seminal and serial killer . 2 ) rent the movie understand it be not in the tradition of the howling and watch it and decide how these folk handle a murky historical incident involve clinical lycanthropy . i think they do a nice job .
