    Worth a watch - based on a true story !

    This is not a werewolf/horror film.It is based on a true story of a man manuel romasanta who in the 1850's admitted to killing 15 people.He claimed to be a wolf man.

    It's different and worth a watch.I enjoyed it, the acting is good.Quite spooky to think it's based on a true story.
