10 Dumbest Decisions In Werewolf Movies
3. Ignoring Grandma's Warning - The Company Of Wolves
This film is beautiful, strange, compelling and deliciously
atmospheric.
Rosaleen is a young girl living in the 1980s, but dreams she
lives in a magical forest in the 18th century. Most girls dream
about Harry Styles or something, but you do you girl. Wolf attacks begin
cropping up around the village, with Rosaleen’s sister Alice being one of the
victims.
Rosaleen is sent to live with her grandma, who knits a very
funky red shawl for her, and warns her amongst other things that she shouldn’t
trust a man whose eyebrows meet. Following the beloved Red Riding Hood tale,
Rosaleen is taking a basket of treats through the woods to her grandma when she
meets an attractive stranger. He bets that he can get to her grandma’s house before
her, and Rosaleen agrees to the wager. The man however, has eyebrows that meet
in the middle.
Rosaleen’s beau of course turns out to be a werewolf, who
kills granny dearest and then turns Rosaleen herself into a werewolf. Whilst
this is only one of several narratives woven through the film, it stands out as
a stupid decision and fully deserves to be on this list as a result.
