Not a werewolf movie per se but a documentary about the alleged creature that has been spotted many times on or around Bray Road near Elkhorn Wisconsin. Along the way, there is some delving into werewolf lore around the world. It is moderately interesting even though it often comes across like a History Channel program about the supernatural or UFOs, i.e., rather gullible and somewhat sensationalistic.
An annoying feature of this movie is that they will often briefly flash false color or bright light and the like on an ordinary scene apparently to make it more dramatic. If that annoys you (or you have a seizure disorder) be warned.
My own opinion on what the Bray Road Beast could be follows.

WARNING: IMO not a werewolf or anything like that but a perfectly natural and ordinary explanation. So if you would rather not have the story debunked, read no further.
Various eyewitnesses stated that they had seen (always in the dark) something with a wolf or German Shepherd like head but much larger than a wolf or dog. Sometimes it would appear to be low to the ground and sometimes standing up with its eyes at human eye level. Generally, it would run away after standing up and looking at the eyewitness. (There are those who claim they were given a personal message by the beast and one who claimed the beast kept pace with his car at 55 mph for over a mile. I am not giving these testimonies much credence.)
Toward the end of the movie, there is an extended interview with a farmer who claimed all sorts of weird things like UFOs and mysterious mists that make dead animals disappear. Among his claims are strange things that happened to roadkill that he would put on his property and try to get a picture of whatever it was doing this stuff. Never did get any ‘werewolf’ pictures. But he did get pictures and castings of tracks crossing his property in the soft ground. The guy claimed that he went to all sorts of experts without any satisfaction as to what they were.
The farmer’s description of the prints, born out to some extent by the photos of the prints, was that they had five toes and seven pads. Any kind of canine print would have four toes and a single pad. There is an animal that has five toes and six pads including one very large pad that might appear to be two. It is AFAIK the only non-primate animal that puts five toes on the ground. This animal also prowls mostly at night, usually goes on all fours but will stand up on its hind legs to get a better look at uncommon things, like for example people. It is shy and will usually run away from people. Its head is rather dog-like.
The animal, of which there are tens of thousands in Wisconsin although most will avoid populated areas, is the black bear. Any expert on animal prints would have known that immediately from the prints alone. Heck, I recognized them, having seen them often around here. That this farmer claims to have contacted all sort of experts with no results cast substantial doubt on all of the other claims he made.
As I said, my opinion.
