A classic 'werewolf' movie.
They meet again after years of separation - Irene Gallier and Paul Gallier. A brother and sister who have lost their parents. She is a sweet shy girl trying to forget about her animal half, he is a cruel and cynical killer who fully accepts his animal side. She fears and avoids him, he irresistibly lusts after her. Is there room for the two of them in today's neon world? Will there be room between the two of them for her new boyfriend? She will have to know the beast inside her, the beast that lusts for flesh and blood, the beast that goes to the call of passion.
In this film, apart from the interesting idea and the bright, young then actors Kinski and McDowell, the main thing is the atmosphere. The lingering and mysterious atmosera of a dystopian fantasy, a terrifying ancient tale born under the scorching rays of the Black Continent. A fantasy in which passion and death, lust and bloodlust, love and violence are intertwined... It is an atmosphere of haunting nightmares in which horror mingles with desire.
It is the story of the beast in all of us, of whether it is possible to remain human as a monster, and of how love conquers even animal rage.
