When Claire makes a claim that the shadowy figure resembled a man, the police arrest brutish local man Talan Gwynek for the murders.Expatriate attorney Katherine Moore requests to represent Talan. Fellow American Eric Sarin works as her investigator. Kate hires animal expert Dr. Gavin Flemyng, with whom she had a romantic relationship five years earlier, to complete the defense team.While interviewing Talan at the police station, a struggle breaks out with the authorities. Gavin is scratched by Talan while trying to shield Kate.Kate's team travels to Talan's remote house in the woods to interview his mother. Mrs. Gwynek tells them that she is originally from Romania. She claims that Talan would have been too physically weak to commit the murders because he suffers from a rare genetic condition passed down through the males in their family. She also makes a claim that the police are targeting Talan because the government wants to take their land for use as a nuclear waste disposal site.Gavin attempts to flirt with Kate, which spurs resentment from Eric. Gavin also begins feeling gradually more ill since suffering the scratch at the police station.The defense team comes to believe that Talan may suffer from porphyria (Porphyria (por-FEAR-e-uh) refers to a group of disorders that result from a buildup of natural chemicals that produce porphyrin in your body. Porphyrins are essential for the function of hemoglobin - a protein in your red blood cells that links to porphyrin, binds iron, and carries oxygen to your organs and tissues). While undergoing medical examinations in police custody, a stress test involving a strobe light causes Talan to react violently. Using apparent superhuman strength, Talan kills everyone in the room and escapes the building.A citywide manhunt eventually traces Talan to an abandoned building. Talan is caught on camera transforming into a werewolf before attacking an armed assault team, falling eight stories to the ground below, and evading capture.A second manhunt finally corners Talan after he kills several police officers. Talan is riddled with bullets and his apparently dead body is then transported in a police vehicle. Kate and Eric follow the police caravan. The van carrying Talan overturns as Talan comes back to life to continue his rampage.Meanwhile, Gavin investigates the Gwynek residence and ends up killing Mrs. Gwynek after coming to realize that he now has the same affliction as Talan. Gavin shaves off all of his body hair as he begins giving in to his new werewolf alter ego.In the commotion at the crash site, Talan kills Eric. Talan moves to attack Kate next, but Gavin arrives to battle the other werewolf. The fight ends when Gavin destroys Talan.Kate confronts the transformed Gavin at gunpoint. Before she can act, a sniper's bullet fired by Pistor from a police helicopter hits Kate in the stomach. Gavin goes into a rage, throwing an assault team member's body into the chopper and causing it to crash.News footage in the aftermath reveals that Kate survived. Pistor is implicated in a conspiracy that killed Talan's father George to take the Gwynek's land. Talan Gwynek is confirmed dead and blamed for all of the killings while Gavin's true identity as a werewolf remains secret.

            An American girl sets out to make a documentary to understand what happened to her mother, who murdered three clergy people but was not convicted due to insanity and was instead sent to a mental hospital in the Vatican City. She hires a camera man and they attend a seminar on exorcism in the Vatican City. She meets some priests who explain that her mother's condition may not be medical, but could well be demonic possession. She witnesses an exorcism with the priests, which is also caught on tape. The priests and the documentary team then decide to carry out an exorcism on her mother, during which they seek to discover whether her mother is actually possessed. It turns out that she was possessed by at least four demons, and during the exorcism there occurs some transference - the migration of the demon from one body to another. Three of them are possessed and soon after they end up dead. It ends abruptly, with a car crash due to the demonic possession of the cameraman, who was driving at the time.
