Wolf Garden (2023)
Unique & Atmospheric
There's something about a movie that does things a bit differently from what you expect. This film isn't really a werewolf movie, more the story of a man losing his mind whilst the theme of werewolves is ever present and lurking in the shadows.
It's a slow burn and there's not a lot going on at times but its got so much atmosphere and tension that you are kept intrigued by what has happened or is going to happen.
The performances are pretty solid (the ghostly man was great) and the music and sound design are on point.
Aside from what felt like a quick ending to the film, I'd say this is well worth a look if you want something closer to The Shining than Dog Soldiers.
Vampir (2021)
Intriguing microbudget
Vampir is quite an interesting movie to watch and something a bit different from other films on a low budget range.
This is one of those films that you really feel got everything out of its budget. A bit slow in parts but still interesting to watch with some bits quite intentionally comical.
There is also at least one moment that is very gory and quite difficult to watch, definitely an image that will stay with me for some time.
A basic premise with a great eerie atmosphere. I'd be very interested to see what this director does next. Certainly there is the suggestion there that he can go on to bigger and better things.
