Wolf Girl (2001)
9/10
Pleasantly Surprised
9 January 2004
I Got this film in one of those cheap 4 movie double disc paks wich i bought mainly for Return of the living dead 3, Unlike the american cover art which seems deceived a lot of people to think this was a werewolf horror flick this had a naked woman looking at her wolf like reflection on a lake and since one of the other movies was the terribly bad Wolfhound(wich instead of having werewolves or even wolves in as the cover deciveingly portraits, it has some crapy dogs and a california playmate pretending to be native irish) i was expecting your average skin flick with some bad werewolf story line, man was i wrong.

Wolf Girl is neither a horror film nor a skin flick, it is a really good drama about the pain of being diferent. The characters are well written with none of them becoming too clishe, it shows how the cruel kids have dark shameful secrets of their own, and it shows the ring master as a real father figure, one that often makes mistakes and acts towards needs and not his childs feelings but truly loves his family. The various segments of the show are quite entertaining and the music is really good. My only real problem is i can't figure out if its ment to be in the present or if they just had some errors, because of the nature of the story and the prduction design it often feels as if its ment to be set around the late sixties early seventies (they even have the good bad and ugly on the marquee on the streets background) but the cosmetics lab looks to modern and then you have shots of the wolf girl walking trougth the street were you can clearly see 90's cars that could have easily been edited out witougth ruining the flow of the scene, I find that really annoying. Overall i liked this film a lot, it just seems to be really bad marketed.
