Violence & Gore
-
- Lawrence's brother's body is stored in a meat-house, along with pig carcasses hanging on hooks. The body is horrific, with a gaunt, scared face, and flesh ripped from the bones. ("He looks like he's been eaten alive," says one observer).
- Lawrence as a child walks onto a terrible tableau, his father cradling his dead mother, her throat bloody and slit, a straight razor nearby.
- The werewolf assault on a gypsy camp shows colliding bodies, loud noises during these collisions, bodies slammed offscreen or to the ground, bloody cuts and gashes, a bloody stump when a hand is sliced off, a couple of bloody torsos with entrails spilling out, bloody mouths as victims spit up blood (in close-up), a bloody body fallen to the foreground of a shot, and lots of frantic and badly aimed shooting at the werewolf, which speeds across the screen, shadowy, growling, and very aggressive.
- Assaulted by the werewolf, Lawrence has deep bloody wounds in his leg, torso, and neck (each revealed in close-up). He's taken to the gypsy camp, where Maleva sutures his wounds without anesthesia. He screams in pain, and the film shows repeated close-ups of the bloody, yucky sutures.
- Lawrence endures repeated violent transformations into a werewolf. Closeups of his changing hands, feet, eyes, and teeth show them deforming and crackling (not bloody but gory).
- Werewolf Lawrence attacks several locals who tried to set a trap. Blood spurts as he slashes at human torsos and limbs; his teeth pull and rip at flesh in close-ups; a policeman tries to shoot himself with his gun but it's empty and Lawrence rips his head off his neck (lots of blood; head hits the ground in closeup); torsos are opened up to show bloody entrails; a bloody cut-off hand hits the ground, a pistol still in its grip.
- The morning after his first night as a werewolf, Lawrence wakes curled up in a hollow tree; his face and torn shirt are crusted with dried blood.
- At the asylum, Dr. Hoenneger greets Lawrence while wearing a bloody white lab coat. Lawrence is subjected to torture. He is strapped to a chair, dropped backwards into ice water and hooked up to electric wires and zapped, and stuck with many needles, roughly. His face is distressed, he bleeds, and he looks generally gooey. In the asylum, Lawrence hallucinates that he is onstage as Hamlet holding Yorick's skull, dripping with blood.
- Turning into the werewolf in the asylum, Lawrence attacks an audience of doctors (shredding bodies, lots of blood). He throws Dr. Hoenneger out a window, and he falls on a fence below, impaled and very bloody.
- Lawrence wakes in the morning under London Bridge, his face bloody. He washes his face in the river water, but he looks ravaged and bruised.
- Lawrence discovers Singh's bloody body hanging from a wall (one of his eyes is missing).
- Lawrence and his father both turn into werewolves and battle. They throw one another into walls and furniture, ripping and tearing each other's chests into bloody shreds, stab each other, pull each other's insides out, and bite each other. Blood hits the walls. Lawrence kicks his father into a blazing fireplace, so he burns to death -- violently, and very actively, staggering around the room in flames. At last, he rips off Sir John's head and it hits the ground, in closeup.
- Lawrence attacks Abberline, leaving him bloody, his neck ripped open.
- Lawrence chases Gwen to a cliff. She stops, falls beneath him, tries to get him to remember him, and finally shoots him with a silver bullet. He thanks her for releasing him. both of them have blood all over their faces and shirts.
- Lawrence reports that his father put him in an asylum when he was a child, where he was strapped to a chair, cut and beaten, and received electroshock treatments. These scenes are fragmented and appear in brief child's eye flashbacks.
- A flashback to Lawrence's asylum treatments when he was a boy include closeups of a scary nurse's face, a straight jacket, and white blasts to break up the sequence.
- The first scene shows the werewolf's attack on Lawrence's brother Ben, with fast cuts to the chest and head, fast-moving shadows, and sharp and bloody teeth in closeups.
- Gwen tends to Lawrence's bloody lip following an assault on him by suspicious police, dabbing at the dark red.
- When Lawrence's fever and nightmares end, he is pale and weary and Gwen wipes his drool covered lip and he sweats.
- Lawrence checks his neck bite in his bedroom mirror. It is initially raw and red, then heals too quickly.
- A police constable gets his fingers bitten off by a werewolf, then impaled through the mouth by it's claws, very bloody.
- When Lawrence transforms in the asylum he mauls an orderly to death ripping out what appears to the man's kidney or spleen very bloody, he has it in his mouth for several seconds before dropping it and killing the Doctor.
- A werewolf runs through a forest towards a group of armed men, falls into the pit the men had dug as a trap, pulls a man into the pit with him and offscreen kills him (we hear bone crunching for about half a second).
- A werewolf attacks a man and guts him offscreen.
- A man strapped to a wheelchair is wheeled before a group of men who watch as he transforms into a werewolf and begins to attack the crowd, throwing chairs and waving his claws around. Slicing sounds are heard, although the impact is only shown once.

-
- Lawrence has repeated visions of a hairless wolf-boy seen in flashbacks and nightmares, scrawny and hollow-eyed, similar to Gollum, but paler and more sinewy.
- Gwen does research on lycanthropy, looking at drawings of werewolves eating babies and ripping guts out of victims.
- Aberline stands by to watch Lawrence transform back into a human (quietly), in Gwen's arms. He bleeds, then looks up at the full moon (knowing he will become a werewolf now).
- Some of the violent scenes mentioned above may shock or frighten, particularly one where a werewolf tears a man's arm off.
- Viewers may also find the transformation scenes and occasional pop-up scares intense or frightening.
