The Company Of Wolves (1984)

Here an intriguing little horror fantasy film based on 'the werewolf' story from Angela Carter's short story collection 'The Bloody Chamber' which itself is based on The Red Riding Hood fairytale. The film boasts some nice production design and some really fun werewolf practical effects, though the whole thing is a little clunky and doesn't quite all gel together. Also Angela Lansbury is in it, but her acting is weird, especially with her dialogue delivery and facial expressions and all the performances overall aren't that great but not terrible.
Despite these flaws the film is still really entertaining and strange. A nice slice of werewolf fun.
***1/2
