A cop (Lior Ashkenazi) and a vengeful father (Tzahi Grad) torture a teacher (Rotem Keinan) whom they believe was involved in several killings, including that of a little girl.

Critics Consensus

With just enough black humor to lighten the disturbing subject matter, Big Bad Wolves is as rewarding as it is challenging.

3/4

A suspenseful, violent horror film that touches on the inner lives of sexual predators, the question of guilt and remorse in the human soul, and the practice of torture.

3.0/5

One thing that's indisputable about Big Bad Wolves: It's a slick piece of genre craftsmanship, a stylish, drum-tight thriller that magnifies the ugly extremes of crime and retribution.

3/4

Unpredictable, with a twisted surprise around each corner, Big Bad Wolves is a clever and arresting shocker.

A-

Tense, twisted, and, oddly enough, startlingly funny. Big Bad Wolves grabs you from the opening and drags you, often kicking and screaming, along for the ride.

Unfortunately, ambition, ambiguity and scale prevent Big Bad Wolves from complete success.

4/5

[T]he result is a beautifully crafted, morally ambiguous fairy tale for the modern age, from two refreshing new voices in Israeli cinema.

A great foreign suspense film, not so much horror but more of a shock film.

A good movie with an awesome ending. A crazy story of a man determine to extract the location of his daughters head, thinking the man is guilty. All movie I was led to be;ieve the man was innocent, but in the end he was guilty. Not only that, but they killed him before he revealed the location of the 2nd mans daughter, who had just found out his daughter went missing. Crazy movie.

A dark, nasty little film from Israel with a fiendish sense of humor.

Somewhat similar to the plot of 'Prisoners' but is different. A good crime thriller with some comedy and some cold brutal scenes. The ending is quite a delight though, it's sad and unnerving.
