"The man Jack goes to for help says that even the act of making love to a werewolf is enough"
I haven't seen this film in a while, but I really don't think he says that.

You are wacky if you are saying just because she is "wild" she is turning into a wolf. There was nothing to indicate she was wild. She seemed docile. I also wondered if she was the original wolf. but I wondered that at the beginning and decided NO her character was too horrified over Jack's behavior.
Obviously, their intimate contact caused it. We are talking about exchange of salivathat alone could do it, since it occurred at night, but sex would probably do it too.
however I think she got scratched or bitten by James Spader. Question is how did he become a wolf? -

"You are wacky if you are saying just because she is "wild" she is turning into a wolf. There was nothing to indicate she was wild. She seemed docile."
"Wild" is perhaps the wrong way of putting it (I think he says a person's "passion" or something similar would do it), but that's the explanation, she had it naturally within her to turn into a wolf, she is an example of what the Indian doctor was talking about when he said not all people need to be bitten to turn.

So there is nothing to indicate Laura was "wild" or a wild child or a wild animal? She was definitely wild. She is a blue blood - and old family with lots of money, so she has to act a certain way. Clearly in her younger years she was wild - because she got to know the "criminal elements of society" as she put it. Since her family expects her to act a certain way she may rebel against this strict and stuffy upbringing and get into all sorts of trouble. bad relationships, trouble with the law, jail time etc. And I'm sure she could also hide her wild side when she wanted to. Girls even women are great at that.
Her brother was wild
Her dad looked like he could rip Stewart's (Spader) face off - if he wanted to.
Wolves do fight for dominance in the packs. Males fight for the alpha male spot and iirc - females fight for the alpha female spot. So maybe she was afraid, since he could kill her, even if she was some sort of 'wolf' or wild child?
And MAYBE werewolves kill lesser/weaker wolves (unless they are already part of an established family/pack) and the better were wolves probably retain enough intelligence to plan and strategize.

It was also said, "not all people who are bitten change to the wolf. An analogue of the wolf." I think during there hook up, she transferred the curse of the wolf. Also, said:
"one doesnt even need to be bitten, the passion of the wold if enough" -

Bingo. "The passion of the wolf is enough." I think it's pretty safe to infer that Laura was "infected" by Will during their night of passion. Also, it's unlikely that Laura was the original wolf that bit Will, otherwise the horses should have been afraid of her (a predator) as they were of Will after he was bitten.

Jwarren2001 & riveroserik, You got it. She was given the "wolf essence" or whatever you call it when she had sex with Will. No way was she the wolf that bit him. She was way too freaked out by what the cop told her about the canine DNA they found in Mrs. Randall's wounds. When she goes back to the car and he comes up behind her, she is very jumpy. Had she been the wolf who bit him, she wouldn't have been.
When I discovered I'd been cloned, I was simply beside myself. -

Yeah, thats how i remember it. Pretty sure Spader bites her in the last scene of the movie when they are fighting eachother in the horse stable. She turns into a full wolf a lot quicker than Jack's transformation though so its kinda weird. It's on now so ill have to look for that.

This!!!! What are all you people talking about with the transference of the wolf essence through sex? It was very clear that James Spader bit/scratched her.

I just saw the movie for the first time and thought it was amazing, extremely underrated and not well known enough. From the very beginning the first scene they do together, I thought it was strange how he just randomly ran into her. And to me I think she is the original wolf that bit him. The things that made me think that is how strange it was that they ran into each other like that, and how from the beginning they had a chemistry and he was almost drawn to her. I don't think she was changed through sex, because his wife wasn't and she had sex with both men that became werewolves after they were bitten and she didn't become one. I know what the man said that he talked to "passion" but I think that was added in there just to make you think. They never said she couldn't hear the phone ringing or that she was scaredI'm still not quite sure what to think of her going to the police, but it doesn't change the way I see it. The thing that stands out to me, is am I the only one who noticed how old the photos he was looking at in her house looked?? And how strange that two people in her family die..her brother being psycho and the way Jack described her and how she acted sounds to me like she was keeping secrets from people. But the end, when she mentions what the officers had drank..instead of being shocked her dad laughed. And when her eyes glowed yellow that did it for me. Neither one of the other characters that turned to werewolves eyes were that color, but her eyes were the same color as the one in the beginning. And her dad didn't question her on how nonchalant she seemed about the whole ordeal. She didn't have enough time to transform is she had gotten scratched in the fight and all of it just seems to point toward her being the original werewolf to me
