Synopsis

Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is young and beautiful and torn between two men. Her parents have arranged her marriage to the wealthy Henry (Max Irons) but she has fallen in love with Peter (Sholih Fernandez). Valerie and Peter are planning to elope when they hear the tragic news that a werewolf has killed Valerie’s older sister.

The beast haunts the forest encircling their village but has always left the humans alone accepting the villagers’ monthly animal sacrifice until now. Instead it has upped the stakes and this angers the people
.
The villagers are out for revenge and call in renowned werewolf hunter Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) who warns the people that the werewolf who takes human form during the day could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie instinctively suspects that the werewolf could be someone she lives...
