The Company of Wolves
Directed by Neil Jordan
A wise grandmother (Angela Lansbury) tells her granddaughter Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) a disturbing tale of innocent maidens falling in love with handsome strangers ... and of their sudden mysterious disappearances when the moon is full and accompanied by the strange sound of a beast in the woods.
Fascinating and imaginative, this riveting thriller from director Neil Jordan brings the timeless tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" and werewolf fables together in a haunting, compelling and eerie way.
Cast: Sarah Patterson, Angela Lansbury, David Warner, Graham Crowden, Brian Glover

I was surprised by this movie. It gives that very dark and dreamy vibe that The Brother's Grimm did, and while the boa constrictors in the snow were a bit distracting and the plot got lost on me and I had to rewind a couple of times, I was overall very entertained by this beautiful trip of a movie. Also, Angela Lansbury's porcelain head... That's all.
best werewolf transformation ive ever seen. extremely dreamy movie. fantastic.
All aground great! Very classic 80’s style fantasy like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal meets American Werewolf in London! Much much much darker than the classic story! Fantastic wolf transition scene!
Loved it and it does ring true for everyone…the ones with the hairy insides are the bad ones (look at Ted Bundy…attracted many women!) And goes for the internet too! That 21yo blonde may be a 40yo fat guy who never gets out! Or the 30yo tall dark & handsome lawyer who’s looking for the right woman….maybe he is, but what is he going to do with her?! Be careful! Never put your drink down or let them bring it! Even water even in a bottle! Be smart 💕🤟
Oh, the horror of woman-hood! A strange film with a threatening aura. Both visually beautiful and deeply uncomfortable. I like it.
