JoBlo Originals's video: The Company Of Wolves - A Werewolf Tale For The Ages

Fairy tales are the source of many of our favorite fantasy films and tropes. The classics like Snow White, Hansel & Gretel, and Sleeping Beauty have led to some amazing feature films and many of them crossed into the horror genre, mixing the fantasy with a hefty dose of blood. The original stories that the fairy tales we grew up with came from were not the spic and span, Disney fare we would read. They were dark, gritty stories that more often than not revolved around a horrible death or two.They were morality tales guaranteed to make a child or an adults blood run a bit colder and scare them into listening. One of the most terrifying and cautionary of these tales was Little Red Riding Hood. Not only did the story include a young woman in danger but it also involved a werewolf who eats her grandmother, a woodsman who cuts the wolf open, so all the guts and grandma come falling out, but also a moral of don’t stray from the straight and narrow path. While you may think that’s a heavy-handed way of teaching that moral…we’re still talking about the story how many years later? Little Red Riding Hood has since become a favorite of the fairy tales of our youth and the story has been retold many times over in both novels, cartoons, comics, and film. But there’s one retelling that stands out for me and is not nearly talked about enough for what it delivered in both retelling the story but also in some of the most beautiful visuals in fantasy horror. It also has one of the coolest wolf transformations ever put on film. That my friends is The Company of Wolves, a movie that I think deserves more love and eyeballs on it.
