Trivia
Sean Ellis has stated that he also took from the story of the Beast of Gévaudin for inspiration to write this film.

Goofs
If the bulk of the story is set in 1891, and John McBride's family were killed by the 'Beast of Gevaudan' in France, then he has to be about 150 years old! That event took place in 1764-1767.

In a movie featuring scarecrow mummies, Gypsie curses, silver werewolf fangs, silver bullets and cryptid monsters, a 150 year old monster hunter fits right in.

Quotes
Timmy: We will all pay for the sins made by our elders. We're all going to die.

Eight for Silver

I wished they never changed the original title, Eight for Silver. That name had a unique identity of its own.

An aesthetically pleasing horror drama, beautiful locations, peak cinematography, talented actors, a proper budget, brilliantly written and directed, realistic brutal scenes with outstanding performances.

A unique take on lycanthropy that never ever seen before. I would've rated more if Sean Ellis carried the same momentum he had until the final act.
