Is it a werewolf or Burt Reynolds?

It's Walpurgis: Origins as we get the story of how perpetually-cursed Waldemar Daninsky and his lycanthropic ways came to be. Again.

Back way back then, way way back when, Waldemar's ancestor was a good fellow who hunted down witches and devil worshippers. One witch in particular curses the ancestor's family to be cursed forever, although there seems to be some sort of delay I guess as the Daninskys enjoy several centuries of happiness before the curse falls squarely upon modern day Waldemar when he pissed off a gypsy clan by accidentally shooting one of them while hunting.

The other gypsies are rather peeved that Waldemar can't be taken to court for killing one of their own, so during a bizarre selection process involving a lot of nude women and a strangely dressed man, a certain lady is selected to seduce Waldemar and curse him with lycanthropy, which she does, only to be hacked up five minutes later by an escaped mental patient. Not long after, Walmdemar discovers that his bic razor isn't quite doing the job once the full moon appears.

Although it take a little while to get there, once Waldemar goes full wolf the carnage begins, with rather a lot of innocent bystanders getting their necks chewed off (and in one instance, their face) while that poor innocent escaped psychopath gets all the blame (and a knife to his guts, courtesy of Walmemar). There's also a romantic sub-plot between Waldedededemarademer and two sisters that results in some full-frontal nudity. Some poor bastard also takes a huge rock directly to the face for good measure too.

Yep, this one ticks all the boxes too. Loads of gore, stupid situations, nudity and the usual 'old school' werewolf makeup. Does the trick for me. Nice ending too.
