British Werewolf flick that borrows liberally from the classic short story "The most Dangerous game."
Calvin Lockhart plays a self made millionare obsessed with hunting. Having successfully hunted all the worthy big game animals he sets his sets on the one prize that no hunter has claimed, a werewolf.
Through extensive research he mananges to locate several likely candidates for bearing the lycanthrope curse. He invites them to his isolated estate. Once there he takes them prisoner and proclaims any and all of them could be a werewolf. Those unjustly accused and manage to survive will be given a sizeable sum of cash for their trouble. While the werewolf among them will be added to his trophy collection.
Filmed in the days before computer generated effects the werewolf is protrayed rather unconvincingly by a large madeup dog! Still the movie is worthy of viewing thanks to solid performances by British horror movie vets Peter Cushing and Charles Gray.
