Wolfkin (2022)
Wolfkin (2022)
Wolfkin (2022)
The werewolf, loup-garou, and the Lycanthrope are back in the brilliant thought-provoking film Wolfkin . Coming from the rich tradition of fiction such as Guy Endore’s 1933 seminal novel The Werewolf of Paris and the 1896 story The Were-wolf by Clemence Housman, this film is in my opinion an essential new addition to the werewolf film canon.

You can lump this film into the abyss of Folk Horror yet its just plain simple a damn good film from top to end credits because it tells an essential human story. Wolfkin (2022) a.k.a. Kommunioun is a Luxembourgian/French/Belgium production; directed by Jacques Molitor. The picture is elegantly shot and paced with true mastery and restraint, as does befit the subject matter of extreme, old-world control and remedy for the modern, uncontrolled animalistic urges.

Taking a cue from Hammer’s The Curse of the Werewolf (1961), Wolfkin (2022) reverses the fact that in that film,...

Wolfkin Review
Image
When it comes to creating a feature with the intention of scaring your audience, sometimes the best choice is to go with the classics, plucking creatures from yesteryear. Of course, modern viewers are going to need more than the black and white Universal Classic Monsters that dominated the screen from the 1930s to the 1950s. Those same iconic names are still welcome, of course, like mummies and vampires, but new twists must be put on their usual plots in order to garner renewed attention.

Just recently, an ambitious movie made by European director and filmmaker Jacques Molitor (Mammejong) looked to wield this plot-making recipe when he evolved the concept of werewolves through Wolfkin (also known as Kommunioun). This fantasy and horror hybrid begins with an intimate cold open where Elaine, the main female lead, and a man named Patrick are making love in a small clearing within a green-filled forest.

"With strong practical effects guaranteed to keep genre audiences enthralled, and a unique storyline similar in tone to Let The Right One In and Hatching, this family drama meets creature body horror, with a violent edge is shaping up to be one of our hottest titles for the second half of 2023”, said Keith Leopard, President Uncork’d Entertainment.
