Horror. Fantasy Thirteen-year old Rosaleen lies in her room, dreaming she is in a 19th Century village. There her grandmother warns her to never trust a man whose eyebrows meet in the middle and to be wary, not of the wolves that haunt the forest, but of the men who are hairy on the inside. But after walking in the forest with a young boy, she is tempted aside by a handsome huntsman whose eyebrows meet in the middle.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It is not a children's film and it is not an exploitation film; it is a disturbing and stylish attempt to collect some of the nightmares that lie beneath the surface of "Little Red Riding Hood." (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"It is a complex and at times infuriating structure (...) but simultaneously vivid and disturbing. The production design is extraordinary (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"It's not always easy to make sense of 'The Company of Wolves,' but it's frequently quite funny, and often means to be."	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Like all the best fairy-tales, the film is purely sensual, irrational, fuelled by an immense joy in story-telling, and totally lucid"	POS
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"The visuals and tone would make the Grimm brothers proud (...) 'The Company of Wolves' is a unique addition to the werewolf sub-genre that could use more appreciation."	POS
