The Company of Wolves

About This Movie

The Company of Wolves is a fascinating blend of fantasy and horror, directed by Neil Jordan. The film unfolds through the dreams of young Rosaleen, who finds herself ensnared in a surreal world where fairy tales meet dark desires. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the practical effects are striking, especially in how they visualize the transformations and the 'hairy on the inside' concept. Jordan captures both innocence and danger in a lyrical, almost haunting way. The pacing has a dreamlike quality, which can be disorienting but ultimately serves the film's themes of sexuality and fear. The performances are noteworthy, particularly from Angela Lansbury as Granny, grounding the film in its cautionary roots.
