Short description
In the late 19th century, a brutal land baron slaughters a Roma clan, unleashing a curse on his family and village. In the days that follow, the townspeople are plagued by nightmares, the baron's son goes missing, and a boy is found murdered. The locals suspect a wild animal, but a visiting pathologist warns of a more sinister presence lurking in the woods.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to Sean Ellis (the film's director, screenwriter, producer, and cinematographer), he drew inspiration for the project from George Waggner's horror film "The Wolf Man" (1941), as well as an 18th-century French legend about an unknown beast.
- Boyd Holbrook liked the script so much that he convinced Sean Ellis to give him the role of the British character (John McBride).
- The werewolf mythology presented in the film feels more authentic than the Hollywood tales of the last century on the subject. In Sweden, werewolves are often depicted as creatures with an animal appearance (which could be either a wolf or a bear), with a human enclosed deep inside. When the animal's skin is peeled away, one often finds either parts of the transformed human or something belonging to them (in the film, this nuance is reflected in the scene involving the autopsy of the character played by Anya Rose Daily).
- The dresses worn by the character played by Kelly Reilly (the grey plaid one and the black one) fasten with a zipper down the back. The scenes with this character take place in 1881, whereas the patent for the zipper was not obtained until 1917, and zippers only began appearing on women's dresses in the 1930s.
