The Company of Wolves

1984, Not rated, 95 min. Directed by Neil Jordan. Starring Angela Lansbury, David Warner and Stephen Rea.

What big … eyes you have. Meta horror didn’t begin with Scream. The grandmother of it all was British writer Angela Carter’s groundbreaking 1979 horror anthology The Bloody Chamber: 10 short stories that gave cunning life to traditional fairy tales from “Bluebeard” to “Puss in Boots.” Carter rewrote “Little Red Riding Hood” three ways, but it’s “The Company of Wolves” – with its mixture of body horror and sexual awakening – that caught the attention of Neil Jordan, and gave us one of the greatest Gothic horror movies of all time. – Richard Whittaker
