American tourists David and Jack are savagely attacked by an unidentified animal while hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. After retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse to recuperate, David soon begins experiencing disturbing changes to his body and mind.
David struggles to reclaim his humanity while a terrifying transformation takes hold of his body. The practical effects remain bone-chillingly effective, turning a tragic curse into a darkly funny nightmare on the moors.
