Belly of the Wolf is a fascinating take on the Little Red Riding Hood tale, recast in a contemporary horror setting. The director, Mark Fisher, crafts a disquieting atmosphere that lingers in the mind long after viewing. The abandoned army airbase serves as a haunting backdrop, amplifying the isolation felt by young Daniel Parker. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as he uncovers grim secrets. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, creating visceral moments that stand out. Performances are raw and grounded, with a sense of authenticity that adds to the film’s unsettling vibe. It’s a unique blend of fairy tale and modern horror that feels fresh yet familiar, making it a distinctive entry in the genre.
