Movie Reviews of The Company of Wolves
Movie Review: Company of Wolves? sounds like my office...not a looker amongst 'em. :)
Summary: 4 Stars
anyway, yeah, this movie is very well made for the time period(early 80's). it's a literist's and horror aficionados mixed bag of goodies with gore galore and symbolism aplenty! The usual female coming of age story of first experiences with womanhood and the opposite sex and how to tame them and man's eternal struggle with the voracious beast within that wants to "eat" blossoming females. i could go on, but i think you get the point. the screenplay was actually written by famed author angela carter who deals with such subjects as children's fairy tales and adult "fairy tales" of sexual politics. in the end, what difference does it make? either you become a wolf yourself or become the prey. either way you're dammmmmmnnnnneeddd.....Movie Review: Better pay attention to granny
Summary: 4 Stars
The Company of Wolves, Neil Jordan's violent retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, is weird, wonderful and gorgeously photographed. It's a story of a young girl's transition to adulthood, with all the sexual awakening and conflicted feelings one might suppose. This part of the story is told with great empathy and imagination. However, be prepared for werewolves, gore, creepy woods and creepy characters. It's hard to tell who's more unsettling, the wolves or granny. A very good movie. The DVD transfer is quite watchable.Movie Review: DARK AND DISTURBING
Summary: 4 Stars
Neil Jordan's little-known werewolf film mixes several Grimm fairy tales (mainly "Ltttle Riding Hood" and "The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf") with a disturbing Freudian coming of age sexuality. Sarah Patterson is the hormonally driven lead facing puberty and predatory men. A dangerous mix. Angela Lansbury is startling as the story-telling grandmother. David Warner is the sympathetic woodsman dad. Weird, wonderful and genuinely horrifying.Movie Review: Great movie but hard to hear
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this movie better each time I see it. It is a slow-moving lush creepy dream of a story based on Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber. Its werewolves are very fake, which I think is intentional. It's really a coming-of-age story.
The DVD however has the same problemas my old video copy: I have trouble hearing all the dialogue: the voices are very soft and the music very loud.
Movie Review: Very good
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a Very good Werewolf film! It has Lots of dark humor...and relies on "old school" children's stories as a setting..however its not For children mind you, its Definitely worth a look for anyone who loves dark humored horror/werewolf films!
