This is a very dreamy almost stage-like presentation of this darker "Little Red Riding Hood" tale. Not for the kids, mostly because they'd be bored with this type of horror after seeing "Saw"! Kinda for you folks who like an artsy-twist to your fairy tales! Gotta love Angela Lansbury! (Or was that Sir Paul McCartney...?) Oh well! It would make a great double-feature with Angela's 1982 stage version of "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" or even Sigourney Weaver's "Snow White - A Tale of Terror"! Both of which i also own! :)
The Company of Wolves is a dark, a bit sensuous version of Red Riding Hood; definitely an entertaining movie if you like a little fright mixed in with your fairy tales! I bought it for my sister who likes to be scared a bit. We both enjoyed it very much. The setting is a woods (maybe the Black Forest in Germany) long ago where life was simple. Work, eat, sleep, watch out for wolves. Reminds me a little of a much milder, simpler version of Twilight. LOVED Angela Lansbury's Grandma part!
I think there are many werewolf movie fans out there, but if you consider yourself one and haven't seen this one yet, well, you're in for a surprising treat! Well acted, with a great screenplay and decent special effects, this will probably be one of your favorite werewolf flicks. Angela Lansberry (yes, Murder She Wrote) performs superbly in an unexpected role for her and will absolutely creep you out! Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Grandmother's house we go... I don't want to spoil any of this plot for you, so just sit back with your popcorn enjoy!
IF YOU ARE BOTH A FAN OF FANTASY AND HORROR THEN YOU ARE SURE TO ENJOY THIS 80'S VERSION OF LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER HORROR/FANTASY MOVIES OF THE 80'S WHICH WAS IN MY OPINION THE BEST DECADE FOR WELL MADE AND VERY REALISTIC SPECIAL EFFECTS IN MOVIES OF ALL SORTS. THIS MOVIE IS NOT JUST A SIMPLE TELLING OF THE OLD FABLE BUT IT IS THE STORY TAKEN TO NEW AND SOARING HEIGHTS! THE SPECIAL EFFECTS OF THIS MOVIE ARE NOT TO BE MISSED. HEARTSTOPPING AND HEARTPOUNDING SCENES ABOUND IN THIS SPECTACLE OF A DARK AND MYSTERIOUS TELLING OF ONE OF CHILDHOOD'S MOST OFTEN HEARD FAIRYTALES...YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OR SEEN IT TOLD THIS WAY BEFORE AND YOU WILL DEFINATELY NOT WANT TO MISS THIS TRUE CLASSIC OF SOME OF THE 80'S MOST EYEPOPPING SPECIAL EFFECTS!!! NO COMPUTER GRAPHICS HERE!!!Read full review
It's obviously an 80's movie, and doesn't have the graphics we are now used to. However, I love the whole story line. And I just seem to have a thing for werewolves...
