The Company of Wolves** GB 1984. ITC/Palace Pictures. 95m.
A teenage girl dreams of a parallel world involving strange stories of werewolves.
Fragmentary but highly imaginative adult spin on established "children's" fairy tales. The modern day interspersions are slightly unnecessary, and the film gets lost trying to find an ending, but the wolf make-up is suitably horrific, and the whole thing has an unexpected beauty about it.
