Across the dark forests and forgotten villages of medieval Europe, tales spread of men who became beasts under the moonlight. Chronicles spoke of cursed souls who roamed the night, hunting both sinner and innocent, driven by forces no priest could sanctify. To some, they were demons. To others, victims of unholy transformations — bound between man and monster.

This feature-length documentary explores the terrifying lore and recorded trials of werewolves in the Middle Ages — from confessions extracted under torture to chilling eyewitness accounts preserved in monastic texts. Through these stories, we uncover how faith, superstition, and fear shaped one of history’s most haunting obsessions. These are the horrors of medieval werewolves.
