The desire… theifantasy… theinightmare.
In the dead of night, the beast is unleashed.
Director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview With A Vampire) has a well earned reputation for lushly photographed films with arresting and evocative themes. The Company Of Wolves is his imaginative reworking of "Little Red Riding Hood" as a wonderfully wicked fairy tale for adults. Angela Carter adapted the screenplay from her own short story.
The story unfolds as young Rosaleen (Sarah Patteson) lies dreaming in her bed. A violent nightmare transports her back in time to a world of primeval forests and werewolves. In this netherworld she learns that her only sister has been killed by a wolf. Her Granny (Angela Lansbury) weaves vivid tales of folklore and fantasy with warnings of fantastic beasts that lurk within men and foretelling the fate of all young girls who stray from the path.
The Company Of Wolves is a unique excursion into horror-bathed in sensual imagery, punctuated with nightmarish special effects, and destined to become a modern cult classic.

a beautiful film, a decent disc - 3.5 out of 5 (9/5/2002)
These days, more and more smaller studios are going the Anchor Bay route and
getting the rights to small cult films and releasing them to the DVD market.
With this trend, we have seen both good and bad discs. I won't name the
bad, (but I'm sure you can guess whom I'm talking about), however one of the
good ones is Hen's Tooth video.
They started in the market with a lackluster GROOVE TUBE but then they
cleaned up the print and provided us with a rather good-looking PRIVATE
EYES. A f
