Product Description

Period horror set in mid nineteenth-century Galicia. A terror is stalking the land: people are disappearing daily, their bodies appearing covered in savage gashes coupled with precise surgical cuts. The legend of the 'Werewolf of Allariz' spreads across the land like wildfire. When Barbara (Elsa Pataky) falls in love with travelling vendor Manuel Romasanta (Julian Sands), she is at first besotted with him - but soon begins to be suspicious of him, and wonders what has happened to her sister, who - after being escorted by Romasanta to the city - seems to have disappeared forever. The film was screened at the 2004 Frightfest in London.

One of few movies from Brian Yuzna-inspired Fantastic Factory. Allegedly based on a true story of Spanish traveller accused of lycanthropy, Paco Plaza's movie tries, but wanders off line from time to time and may severly dissapoint many fans. Especially those used to typical werewolf movie schemes. Here we find literally ONE transformation scene, just few gruesome effects, much more romance and storytelling though. Sands is OK, Elsa Pataky even better, yet both fail to really spark on screen and revive plot. As usual, good treatment of edition from Arrow, with poster, booklet and few featurettes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matrix meets Werewolf 14 Jan 2006
Format:DVD
This is a great film. It has oodles of style, grit and class. Beautifully shot its perfect pace quickly reveals an intriguing plot, releasing some captivating characters onto the screen. There are some breathtaking fight sequences interspersed with fantastical costume dramary. It has something for the action fan in you as well as the romantic and intellectual.

1.0 out of 5 stars a horror fan 25 Jun 2006
Format:DVD
DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE - for a start there are no werewolves just julian sands (i mean you know he's gonna be bad, cause he always is) prancing around trying to look menacing.

Let's face it i bought the movie cause i like werewolves, the type with sharp, pointy teeth that use their full moon shenanegans to spill lots of blood, but what do i get rather than fur-lined carnage - some pathetic attempt at eeriness, which simply flounders at the first hurdle.

I know it's based on a true story and some would probably argue about different types of production values that i know nothing about - but dear lord with all their technology couldn't they have made it a bit less rubbish

As you can probably tell from this review i'm not a fan and if someone can workout how to get the 2 hours (which felt like 4) of my life back i'd happily give them the DVD free of charge to perhaps rest their coffee mug on or use as a nice, shiney frisbee.

Warm regards.
