Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a box office smash, though it had little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Best for people who like to watch through their fingers and adventure lovers. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Tense from early on, at 18 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1913: an older pace and style.
Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

An old Indian legend tells of the supposed ability of persons who have been turned into wolves through magic power to assume human form at will for purposes of vengeance. This film is presumed lost.
