Traveling Shakespearean actor Lawrence Talbot (Benicio del Toro) returns to his ancestral home to investigate the whereabouts of his missing brother upon request from Ben’s fiancee Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt). His distant and eccentric father Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins) greets him and reveals that his brother Ben’s body was already found in a ditch and surmises he will attend the funeral. Lawrence inquires about the body and goes to see it, where it is stored at the local mortuary. Ben’s remains are thoroughly mangled and torn apart.  While investigating his brother’s death, Lawrence goes to the nearby gypsy camp, to which Ben was the town’s liaison. While there an unnamed werewolf suddenly rampages through the camp killing and maiming most of the gypsies. Lawrence gives chase and is subsequently attacked by the werewolf and is bitten on the neck, though the pursuing gypsies manage to scare it off. Lawrence is tended to and taken to his father.  Soon after Inspector Francis Aberline (Hugo Weaving) of Scotland Yard arrives and questions Lawrence, both are suspicious of each other.  Lawrence wanders to a nearby lake where finds Gwen, there they converse and seem to establish a flirtatious relationship. Soon after priests from the local village arrive to take Lawrence away claiming he “bears the mark of the beast”, but his father saves him threatening to shoot them if they trespass at Talbot Hall again.  Many nights after on a full moon the villagers arm themselves with guns packed with silver bullets and set a trap for the werewolf at the ruins of an old church, using a stag as bait. That night Lawrence sees his father walking out to the crypt he follows and finds a cell containing his father and a shrine to his deceased mother. Sir John then locks himself inside with Lawrence outside the door just as his son begins to transform into the Wolfman for the first time.  Elsewhere Aberline plans to spend the evening at the local tavern to wait for the suspect’s to attack. Lawrence now fully changed alerts everyone to his presence by howling for the first time.  He then attacks and kills all of the villagers that have set a trap for him, a short time after Aberline stumbles upon the aftermath.  After Lawrence changes back the next day, he is arrested by the Aberline and his colleagues. Then he is taken to the mental institution his father sent him to as a child. He is relentlessly tortured by his sadistic doctors from his childhood, who claim his lycanthropy is simply a delusion.  His father arrives and explains that the institution had convinced him that his mother killed herself, but what he really saw was his father as a werewolf killing his mother. Sir John then explains how he was bitten by a wolf boy in a cave in India and how for the past 25 years, his Indian man servant has locked him in the crypt, but one night in a jealous drunken rage he incapacitated Singh and was therefore unable to lock himself in, resulting in Ben’s death at his hands.  It is also confirmed that it was Sir John who bit Lawrence.  Lawrence vows to kill his father to avenge his mother and brother and for cursing him. Lawrence is taken to a court of scholars to disprove the idea of werewolves.  As the full moon rises, he transforms and kills a number of the men in attendance including his torturers, then rampages across London until dawn. He flees to Gwen’s shop for safety, she takes him in and they admit their feelings to each other. Aberline orders his men to capture Lawrence, who is traveling back to Blackmoor to kill Sir John. Meanwhile, Gwen meets with Maleva where she tries to find a way to lift the curse. Upon arriving at his home Lawrence arms himself with silver bullets Singh kept and confronts his father.  He is unable to shoot, however Sir John reveals that he removed the gunpowder from the bullets many years ago. Both he and Lawrence transform into werewolves and fight during which the mansion is set on fire. Lawrence eventually kicks his father into the fireplace and beheads him. Aberline and Gwen then arrive on the scene, Aberline tries to shoot Lawrence, but Gwen grabs his gun arm allowing Lawrence to bite him and throw him aside. Gwen flees into the forest, only to be chased down by the Wolfman. Gwen is forced to shoot Lawrence with a silver bullet in reluctant self defense. Before he dies he turns back into a human and spends his last moments with Gwen.  A mob arrives with Aberline, who appears clutching the silver cane.  Gwen’s parting words are heard as Talbot Manor appears in flames and a wolf’s howl.
