David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne) are American college kids back packing their way through Europe, who find themselves on the wrong moor in the wrong town in Northern England on a moonlight night after ignoring not terribly helpful warnings from unfriendly locals at the Slaughtered Lamb pub to "stay on the road". Only David survives their encounter with what the locals tell him was a murderer, not the wolf he believed attack the pair. David begins to doubt his sanity when he is disturbed by strange dreams and meetings with Jack, who tells him that David is now a werewolf and that he must kill himself before he kills others. David is taken in by his beautiful nurse Alex (Jenny Agutter) who, like David, hopes that the visions are a result of post-traumatic stress while David's doctor (John Woodvine) begins investigating the attack when details don't seem to add up. Things get worse as the full moon approaches...![]()
