BEAST MUST DIE (1974)

Eccentric millionaire Tom Newcliffe (Calvin Lockhart) is a big game hunter with a dream of capturing the biggest prey of his life – a werewolf! To this end, he invites a number of guests to his estate, all of whom have shady and suspicious pasts…and it is Newcliffe's belief that one among them - the one that will become the hunted - is about to become a blood-crazed werewolf. But which one? When an outbreak of violence occurs on the first night, Newcliffe informs his guests that they must remain throughout the cycle of the full moon. The servants have been dismissed, the phones disconnected. They are captives at the mercy of each other's beastliness. As the horrors mount, the fearless hunter begins to realize that he is a mortal pitted against powers beyond man's understanding...but he will not, can not stop the hunt…
