5.0 out of 5 stars Stephen King Can Learn From This..., December 10, 2003

By	P. B Rubalcaba "PR Guy" (Redlands, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wolfhound (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

Let's hypothetically fantasize that we can leave this rat race environment, shuffle off to Ireland, and confine ourselves in an ancient home in the depths of an isolated land beyond reality. We move there, with our wife and two young children, to write a book...a book about our heritage and our roots. But what happens when you discover your roots are a little rotten...and that the quaint village is filled with horror...fear... animality...and decadence beyond belief? That's what "Wolfhound" is all about...a film about the bizzarre world of non-belief...wild dogs..."cool dogs" as the young daughter states. This one, based in Ireland, is a pure Stephen King look-a-like. It is a cross between "Sleepwalkers", "Cujo" and "Pet Sematary". It is a one-of-a-kind European horror classic that is strictly for adults. The innocent bride of the novel writer says it all when she tries to get her husband to make love in the confines of the isolated surroundings. "Just because we are in the woods, it doesn't mean you have to act like an animal," she says. He has no choice. This wicked envrionment, and film, is a masterpiece in its own right. It is a hauntingly original classic. If you like Stephen King flicks...you'll love "Wolfhound". On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest in the King scale), "Wolfhound" gets a solid 10. Remember...it's borderline NC-17 rated film...in other words...a very tasteful adult horror film...for your eyes only. Haunting...erotic...and a film you probably want to cuddle with your lover. Stephen King could learn a lesson from this classic. As with all movie reviews henceforward...I've also attached a picture of the letterbox. ENJOY! PAUL

4.0 out of 5 stars Irish Howling, But no Werewolves, June 13, 2005

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wolfhound (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

A man and his family returns to the land he grew up in to help settle his inherited estate and to do some writing in an environment with few distractions. But there is more to the sleepy town and countryside than meets the eye. Irish wolfhounds seem to run free (a local legend helps explain why this is so). The man's parents seem to have liked chains. A local tough seems to be able to be in charge. And the people just seen unusual.

While the man has flashes of his early childhood he delves into the secret of his family. A beautiful and naked woman haunts his dreams and possible his waking hours. As his interest grows to obsession, his family life begins to crumble. But slowly he begins to see who he is and what is going on. The innocent eyes of his children may see more than he does. Finally he must prove himself to himself and the town, especially the mysterious motorcycle-riding tough.

A very interesting film that pays close attention to atmosphere and feeling. The viewer is slipped details and not hit over the head with them. The story builds subtly but steadily all the way to the very final scene. Entertaining and moody. A very good film that deals with an interesting legend without getting hung up in effects and sensationalism. This is one to watch for fans of eerie and creepy films but those looking fore blood and gore should look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars good idea, poor execution, September 25, 2002

By A Customer

The video quality is a bit grainy. The transformation effects seem to have been made with poor quality morphing software. The few transformation shots are short. The extra features are few. The ending is lame.
