This is another Tyburn offering directed by Freddie Francis but, in contrast to The Ghoul, it's very disappointing and seems at least 15 years out of date. Peter Cushing's jovial performance as the police surgeon is the only good reason for watching it.
David Rintoul plays Etoile a young boy raised by wolves who becomes a circus freak. Once adult and civilised, he goes to work as assistant to a zookeeper ( Ron Moody ) but funny things happen to him when the full moon comes up and he discovers the girl who attracts him is a prostitute.
