With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and anyone who enjoys a good scare. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Liked Dust Bunny? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
The times of serfdom in Latvia. Brothers Tom, Michelis and Andris, driven to despair by the cruelty of the Dormuizh landowner, decide to start a liberation struggle. Tom and Michelis go into the forest and tame a wolf pack there. Taking advantage of the folk legend that a person can turn into a werewolf and live in his guise, the brothers intend to fight the German barons with the help of a wolf pack controlled by them and a messenger Andris, who has remained in the village for the time being...
