that is true. the aspect of the werewolf that I was comparing it to was that, as in my hypothetical movie, any average person could suddenly find themselves in a situation where they are the monster, without even doing anything wrong to begin with.
to push it even further, maybe the first half of the movie would be this regular guy going through his days and then something goes awry and he starts killing indiscriminately. and this thing that goes wrong isn't some kind of outside impetus, like abuse or anything like that, it's just one day his mind turns a corner where killing is just something he does now, and doesn't even consider that it may be wrong anymore, like going to the grocery store or driving a car. you could probly even cheese it up a bit by making him not even realize that he's the killer till the end (which, possibly, could make it more of a Frankenstein tale. the monster-who-isn't-a-monster). that would make it more marketable to the same type of producers who crank out Shyamalan's crap every few years.
but to get back to my original point, the bottom line is a killer who, with no motivations or reason or evil behind it, just does it because, like our friends Kriss Kross, "that's what he was born to do."
