Albus S Oct 23, 2018 Love this movie for all the creepy fairy tales.

Han S Jan 4, 2018 Strange as surreal take on Little Red Riding Hood. It's kind of disjointed with the multiple levels and tales inside dreams, it's hard to tell what's ever actually going on. But there are some quality sequences. And the sexual awakening undertone is interesting. See more

Abraham S Sep 9, 2017 In this schlocky 80s midnight movie, Little Red Riding Hood meets more than her fair share of big bad wolves, albeit most of them played by poorly-disguised dogs. Simply put, The Company of Wolves is a musty children's fantasy film featuring a handful of outrageously out-of-place werewolf transformation sequences. These sequences are amongst the greatest and grizzliest ever to have gone straight to VHS, with genuinely astonishing animatronics and cringe-inducing gore. The remainder of the film, however, is a wishy-washy tale of whimsical grannies and mythical monobrowed man-wolves. To make things worse, most of the action takes place in a dusty 'middle age' realm of paper mache mushrooms and sporadic dry ice cannons. To make things worse than worse, the whole thing is bookended by shots of a modern-day version of the main character sleeping, raising such pointless narrative and philosophical dilemmas as is-she-or-isn't-she-dreaming? and will-she-or-won't-she-wake-up? Inevitably, the answers to both are useless, underwhelming and unnecessary. Nevertheless, the film itself ought to be noted down by all pissed-off parents who fancy giving their snivelling kids the fright of their lives next time they start whining. See more

Rey W Feb 24, 2017 Medieval old woman tells tales to her young granddaughter about werewolves and never to stray from the path in the forest causing nightmares. Borrows from the Little Red Riding Hood story. Disjointed mess for the most part despite a couple moments of nice special effects. See more

Anakin S Apr 1, 2013 The Company of Wolves closely follows Angela Carter's feminist rendition of "Little Red Riding Hood" minus the overtly sexualized scenes. This film version retains much of Carter's feminist principles but can't seem to decide if the target audience is youthful or strictly adult. 1980s gore and graphics diminish some of the film's potential as well.
