Werewolf

About This Movie

So, 'Werewolf' from 1969 is a curious blend of drama and romance, set against the backdrop of Tammaru farm where we follow young Margus and the two orphaned girls, Mari and Tiina. There's a palpable tension between the characters, especially with Tiina's fiery spirit contrasting sharply with the expectations placed upon her. The film delves into themes of societal norms and personal desires, all while hinting at that eerie folklore element tied to Tiina’s heritage. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional stakes to simmer, and while the performances aren't necessarily standout, they capture the essence of youthful turmoil quite well. It’s not the werewolf film you might expect, rather more an exploration of identity and acceptance, which gives it a distinctive feel.

The film 'Werewolf' has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints quite rare. Its scarcity has garnered interest among collectors particularly for its evocative narrative and unique take on folklore rather than the usual horror tropes. Though not widely recognized, it occupies an interesting niche in the genre that appeals to those who appreciate vintage cinema that challenges typical storytelling conventions.
