The Wolf Hour

Watts is one of the best actors of the last 20 years. Without her, this movie would have been a disaster. Watch it, just for her performance alone.

This film has so much potential...it looks great...it sounds great...but it just goes nowhere. Every few minutes we're introduced to new and interesting characters, all with their own story to tell...but they all fizzle away to nothing.

This was like watching the first part of a 3-part movie...I WANT CLOSURE!

This film tells the story of a woman who locks herself in her home.

What I can tell you, the film is definitely not a thriller. There is no thrill or suspense. In fact, it is full of boredom. The story is not engaging, not captivating and not sensical. If she is so scared of the outside, I struggle to find it sensical that she keeps the windows wide open. The story doesn't go anywhere either. It is just really boring.

I dont understand this great movie gets all this bad reviews. All i can say is Acting is great Cinematography is good Script is good Its not too long Music and editing is good Actually everything is pretty good and sometimes great so how anybody can give this movie less than average is a mystery or just plain trolling. Feel bad for the director that made a great job with obviously a pretty low mainstream budget

Naomi Watts is one of the most gifted and underrated actresses of our time. She commands this role as a depressed author sheltered in a Manhattan tenement apartment during the height of the Son of Sam murders. She is being tormented by a stranger, or is she? As the story unfolds we learn that her novel caused a family uproar and may have contributed to her father's death. The attention to dated details is very, very good. The cinematography is well done. The sense of heat, humidity, and filth in Watts' apartment is palpable. This is more like a play than a movie in some ways. The movie is a one woman show and, while Watts is commanding, I do see how one might find it slow as it was advertised as a thriller and is more of a psychological drama with the emphasis on drama. New York is a central character in this one. There are some peripheral characters, including the S. O. S., and all are relatively damaged. Add a Summer blackout for extra drama.
