The Company of Wolves (1984)

After having heard about it for years, I finally checked it out last week. I'd say it's Jordan's best film. Hell, the visuals and make-up effects still holds up.

Any fans?

I love the production design and anthology format here. It's dripping with atmosphere. As a werewolf and fairy tale nut, I blind bought it when it 1st hit DVD, and never regretted it.

Never got the confusion over the ending - i.e. people thinking the girl is killed the wolves?!?

It's simply her waking up to the realization (or "horror") that she can't escape growing up.

Probably my favourite werewolf film, and certainly among the more visually remarkable pieces I've ever run across.
Set design alone makes it.

This film kind of lost me halfway through. Kind of love the Freudian angle of it, but it feels like a movie devoted to making subtext text. Still it looks and sounds amazing, the design of the film is kind of fantastic and the practical FX work is astounding. The film works in a weird sort of dream logic and becomes almost nightmarish at times. The repeated wolf motif and grisly transformations just heighten the atmosphere.

 

I was actually kind of impressed by the cast, it's the sort of film that should completely devour its cast in its aesthetic but the cast of fine British thesps and Angela Lansbury manage to carve their own little niche.
