Werewolf

Another really overrated movie, nothing special to see if you ask me. First of all the title is misleading and stupidly chosen, Werewolves or Wilkolak whilst it has nothing to do at all with werewolves. A pack of dogs terrorizing a bunch of kids, that's about it. It's long, slow and boring. I wish it was something else but unfortunately it isn't. The acting is okay though, even from the kids, but the story just lacks of everything interesting. If you want to watch a horror movie, like I did, you'd better skip this one because there is 0% of horror in Wilkolak.

Absolutely stunning movie! Really good acting, these children are haunting me for days now. Children who have been liberated from a concentration camp are left at in an abandoned palace in a forest without food and water. But the real nightmare starts when the house is besieged by hungry wild dogs that were used to guard the nazi camp.

Not the horror you think it is. Dealing with young children rescued from a concentration camp by the Russian forces at the end of WW2. Taken to a country house with limited food and water. Their situation deteriorates dramatically when they find themselves surrounded by vicious guard dogs from the very death camp they escaped from. Part Lord of the Flies, part Cujo, the tradegy of their existence is brought home time and time again - be it fighting for a simple potato peeling, or the stories they tell of the sights they witnessed. The struggle here is for them to hold on to the slender thread of humanity they still have within them, or decent into a vicious existence, that matches the dogs that threaten them.

Very very beautiful cinematography and explains the characteristics of post-war psychological behaviour . Beautifully captures the horror of man eater dogs and explains the divine quality of mercy even to one's enemies.

This is not your average World War II movie. This is not your average Holocaust movie. The is definitely not your average werewolf movie.

This film is something special. I don't watch many foreign films, but I think you'll like this one as much as I did because it's a film-lovers film - or an actor's film, perhaps.

The story follows a group of children recently liberated from the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, they land in a huge, empty mansion in the care of sinister Russians. That's not the worst of it, though, because the place is surrounded by vicious animals. Are they escaped military working dogs or something much, much worse?

While I don't know the cast or crew, I am certain they are at the top of their game in their home country (Poland). Watch this film - I promise you can't guess the ending!
