MCT:October 4, 2008A fairytale theme based on Little Red Riding Hood and the spectacle of Werewolves. The film, however, goes much deeper than just an entertaining story. Using dark Freudian symbolism the story is one of leaving childhood and entering adulthood and the magic that is lost of innocent childhood. The visuals are superb and the film is bound to leave an impact on the viewer. For fans of Danielle Dax watch out for her brief appearance as the Wolfgirl.

Great werewolf movie in a classic sense. Lots of undertones and more or less, little red riding hood movie.

MCT:June 12, 2008This movie felt artsy, with all the crazy imagery. I just thought it was okay. The special effects don't age well.

Considering that Neil Jordan worked with the fairy tale writer Angela Carter for this film, the director adapts the Little Red Ridding Hood story. But it has a different twist to the film which is a very nice and beautiful. Similar to all fairy tales, it always has a moral at the end (for children). But the ending of this film has a different moral. Although it is based from a children's book, the film is not dedicated for children under 13. It has many sexual references which relates to the young girl childhood phase going into her adulthood phase.The setting is very colourful, mostly red, which can represent many elements of a teenage girl.
Basically, the film has a mix of Labyrinth and Pan's Labyrinth. All in all, it is visually attractive and the story could relate to many young women. But it always depends how you see the film. -

Very surreal and weird in the best possible way. Not your average Little Red Riding Hood to be sure.

LOVE this movie! It's my favorite twisted fairy tale ever! It's done so well (acting, writing, etc.) the special effects are totally forgivable.

It was quite good on it's time. And I think It was a good faery tale to. I believe mithology and this kind of history is very important to define our paradigm

Nice slant on the little red ridinghood theme. Very arty and dark.
Not so much a story but it works. -

How can you describe this film? It's Little Red Riding Hood as told by werewolves, filmed in the slums of Oz by a director on LSD!
A surreal and disturbing horror film featuring excellent special effects and superb direction by Neil Jordan. Two opposable thumbs up! -

The company of wolves is very far from being the typical movie about werewolves, it's very different from films such as An American Werewolf in London or The Howling. This film is full of symbolism, it's a kind of rewriting of Perrault's Little Red Ridding Hood with Freudian elements. The film was directed by Neil Jordan, but in it we can notice the writing of Angela Carter, an author who is mainly interested in rewriting folklore myths from a feminist point of view. If you see this film you will enter a world of magic, of dreams, not only by means of the script, but also by the settings, which are really wonderful. The film itself deals with the end of childhood and the beginning of adolescence, with all its sexual connotations, and the loss of innocence. When we become adults we realize life is not a magic tale. All this is treated from a feminist point of view, the main character is a girl who dreams about several stories with werewolves. Visually the movie is incredible, and it manages to reflect the symbolism of woods, the mixture of light and darkness, the magic creatures which live there during the night and the dangerous inside them especially for the girls who don't follow the path. From my point of view the film is one of the best dealing with the myth of werewolves, mainly because the film is a metaphor of life, of the human specie, all of us have an animal inside.

MCT:July 16, 2007I saw this movie YEARS ago and I loved it then. Id love to see it again but I cant find it (not that Ive looked to hard)

MCT:June 24, 2007
Although made more horrible by the participation of the hateful Angela Lansbury, this is supposed to be a fantasy rather than a horror film.
-

I really like this movie. Great sets, good effects (brought to you without CGI enhancement), a little spooky and just a touch erotic. A fairy tale story for adults.
-
MCT:June 18, 2007Bizarre but strangely enchanting gothic fairytale based on Red Riding Hood in which a young girl's dreams of werewolves start encroaching onto her waking life. Or are they...? Very surreal and full of beautiful imagery but it may irritate those who prefer a straightforward narrative. Fans of Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro will enjoy it though.

the brilliance and the moral are perfectly portrayed in this reimagining of little red riding hood. i knowm the moral is men are wolves, and i know it's true. not many men liked the moral of this film. But i'm a boy, i understand the moral perfectly, and i love every single part of it

There are things about this movie that I really like. It is a dark fairy tale, has a haunting aspect to it, and beautiful scenery. The music throughout was beautiful and I'll never forget the creepy poem spoken at the very end.
