The Wolf

About This Movie

The Wolf (2024) is a curious blend of documentary and horror that draws you into Bela's disorienting journey through the forest. The way it captures her following a wolf that's on the brink of transformation into a werewolf is both haunting and oddly intimate. The use of low-budget effects adds a raw, gritty feel that complements its themes of nature and monstrosity. It's not polished, but the untrained animals and non-actor students contribute to this unsettling atmosphere. There’s something compelling about the director's candid commentary on her failures, almost like a layer of self-reflection that seeps into the narrative. You may find yourself questioning the boundaries of documentary and fiction here. It’s not conventional by any means, but it lingers in your mind.
