Besides, it doesn't follow the movie's mythology. This wasn't a film about people just turning into werewolves and then back into human beings again each night. Once bitten, the victims were slowly transformed and then at the next full moon they were completely transformed into wolves, and remained that way. (Just listen to the old professor's explanation). So Laura Alden couldn't have been a wolf beforehand, because there's really no changing back into human form. She'd have been a wolf, period.

lol what really annoys me is people who are trying to force twists into a flat movie and then looks down on everyone who doesn't share their 'revelation'!
this movie is about a guy who gets bitten by a wolf, then bites an a$$hole to get a little revenge fight going on later on and has sex with a girl and then spreads it to her. Nothing more. Stop trying to get a subtext that only smart people like you can see!

I agree that Michelle being the werewolf has real problems as a theory, but I don't see that once you change into a wolf there's no going back. That not only goes against the long "tradition of werewolf stories, but seems to make the term werewolf essentially obsolete: you get bitten, you gradually just turn into a wolf one-way trip.
I'll watch it again more carefully, but I don't buy it so far. Nicholson seems to be the classic werewolf, turning into a beast & killing at night, and reverting to human form afterward. I expect that after a night of moonlit bestial sex they'll appear pretty much human in the morning.
Great flick, I've loved the werewolf movies since I was a little kid in the 50s, but this is a truly great update on the genre. -

Remember when the Dr. Alezias (the writer) tells him the spirit of the wold can transform people too. So it was a full moon, all the earlier struggle and love of will randall that lead to her transformation.

The wise old man said that "sometimes" the wolf becomes permanent if it takes over the heart and soul of the person bitten. It's not a big leap to believe that could happen in a movie like this.
And Michelle's character is definitely NOT a werewolf at the start of the film.
I saw "Wolf" in the theater in 1994. I enjoyed it then, and still do when I see it now. I still think the ending battle sequence was poorly executed (some of the editing of that scene was strange and the slow-mo was a bit silly, and a dummy is so clearly a dummy when a character gets thrown.) But the rest of the movie was very nicely acted and written. The music was just right (Ennio Morricone) and I liked the look of the film. -

If Michelle was a wolf how come she didn't have the keen sense of hearing that
Jack had. How come she was horrified when she saw Jack changing into a wolf.
Also, in this movie, when someone becomes a wolf, they stay that way. -

She wasnt a wolf, stop being a tool.
Too many things go against that theory.
She couldnt hear her phone ringing when Will could
She didnt spook the horses (Will and Stewart both did)
She was genuinely scared when she saw the mud on Wills boots and thought that he had killed his wife, and was gonna turn him in to the Police. It wasnt until she realised Stewart had been bitten at the Police station and that HE was probably the one who killed Charlotte to frame Will, that she went back to help Will.
Also when Stewart is trying to Rape/Kill her, why did she not "Wolf out" and defend herself, she would have been ripped apart if Will hadnt saved her.
Also these arent werewolves, they dont change to and from Wolf form..these are wolves that were once human, and once you fully turn into a Wolf, you cannot change back (The doctor says as much)
Watch the movie again, properly, and do 50 press ups on your knuckles! -

She wasn't a wolf until the end. Just watch the scene again where the Doctor is explaining it all to Will. If a man is bitten during the full moon, with each new phase (quarter, half, etc.) of the moon the wolf spirit inside him will take more and more control. When the next full moon shines again, the wolf will take over completely. He strongly implies that there is no going back, once a wolf you stay a wolf.
The werewolf "bug", for lack of a better term, is obviously transmitted via bodily fluids. If a werewolf bites a person, it is transmitted via saliva into the bloodstream. It stands to reason that when Will and Laura had sex, he transmitted the wolf bug to her and it just didn't take effect until the end of the film. -

Here is my theary, an its my take on it an not only "with taste and indivduality", my favorite quote from the movie. I really think in the begining it was either a regular wolf with some kind of special power that the wolf had in it or a human who was already a wolf. Now put the pieces together. Will got bit, then he bit the beep so called best friend, who was a real moron and messed with is head and had an affair with his wife. Then had a nice night of sex with laura and with his own body chemicals made her a wolf too, or that she loved him so much, she did not have to get bitten, but her passion for will as the wolf was enough. There you have it people.

NO, SHE BIT JACK, at the start of the film, when she was in wolf form.
Nope. Pfieffer turned into a wolf out of her passion for Nicholson (like the Indian man explained was possible earlier in the movie and hence the reason that line was in the movieto explain how Pfieffer turns into a wolf on her own at the end.) Maybe you have to a be a woman to understand it.

I agree. She didn't bite Jack in the beginning. What I'm thinking that's strange, is that she talked about a "brother" could it have been him who bit Jack in the beginning?

I think you can change back.Jack with the Ameulet in the barn was fighting the wolf inside him.What the doctor said is mostly true Jack could have fought the wolf inside him to come out.But since Laura was being attacked Jack took the Ameulet off on the full moon hence changed completely.If he would have fought the wolf until morning He could have turned back to just human.
But you can't blame the OP for thinking Laura is a wolf.Most douche artistic directors will change the ending totally ignoring everything that happened during the movie.If Laura was so scared and confused about the Wolf thing why was she so calm when the police came over and so accepting even though she could use the Ameulet she acted like this was like all planned.I thought that when she made the vodka comment to the policeman in the end like Jack said to one of his workers who dranked whiskey.Her whole calmness is really apllied.
