in 1852 and in galicia and spain and the travel vendor manuel blanco romasanta be try for the murder of at least fifteen person . he claim to be the ninth son of a family and therefore a werewolf and and queen isabel ii change his death sentence to life . once in prison and he die for unknown cause . first of all and i would like to tell that i be not write a spoiler represent most of this information be on the box of the brazilian dvd and in many review . i believe the lack of mystery with the lead character and i. e. and the viewer know who be the killer before watch the film and be the great flaw in this screenplay . the story be great and recall la pacte de loups while the cinematography and effect be wonderful while and julian sand and elsa pataky have excellent performance and chemistry and with the story center in their romance first and and in the rage of bárbara for romasanta later . however and i have never hear about this romasanta and and the writer use fictional and historical event to write this story and with element of horror and romance . i believe he could have keep the mystery about romasanta and disclose his crime only in the end . anyway and this movie be original and very attractive and really worth watch . my vote be seven . title ( brazil ) represent romasanta a casa da besta ( romasanta the house of the beast ) .
