My What Big Teeth You Have

Title:  The Company of Wolves
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  Angela Lansbury is in this, in the granny sort of role.   No joke.
Introduction:   I got this one from Netflix on the recommendation of Grindhouse Horror (check ‘em out on Facebook)
Location:  It has that Sleepy Hollow/From Hell feel to it, but mixed with a Grimm fairy tale.
Plot:  This is based on a short story, but it is retelling of sorts of the classic Little Red Riding Hood.   Only it is definitely not for kids.
Acting:  It’s all British.
Production:  1984.
Sex/Nudity:  No, not really.
Special Effects:   They’re really good for their time.   The thing with the wolves in this movie is that they’re werewolves, so seeing the transformation is a sticky and hairy mess.   But it comes out looking great.
Overall Verdict:  This is a good, scary way to watch Little Red Riding Hood.  I can’t say a lot about it (and really haven’t) because it’s something you just have to experience for yourself.
