	Movies - The Company of Wolves

The Company of Wolves is a 1984 horror film directed by Neil Jordan, and starring Sarah Patterson and Angela Lansbury.

Overview

The film is based on two short stories, "The Company of Wolves" and "Wolf-Alice", from Angela Carter's collection The Bloody Chamber. Carter also co-wrote the screenplay with the production's director. It tells a series of stories about wolves and werewolves and their interaction with a small fairytale village. There are many allusions to the tale of Little Red Riding Hood although the wolf takes a different form than in the fairytale. The film overtly dramatizes the psychological and sexual allegory that underlies fairy tales and the werewolf myth. The collection, The Curious Room (1996), contains the film scripts to the production.

Trivia

Due to budgetary constraints and other factors, some of the wolves shown in the film are German Shepherd Dog that have had their fur coloured.
