Synopsis
The Company of Wolves (1984) is a British horror-fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Neil Jordan from a screenplay co-written with Angela Carter, adapting her own collection of revisionist fairy tales. It's a Red Riding Hood story told from the inside of the dream.
Young Rosaleen — played by Sarah Patterson — lives in a world shaped by her grandmother's warnings: beware men whose eyebrows meet in the middle, who vanish on full-moon nights and return with something changed in their eyes. Angela Lansbury plays the grandmother, her delivery calm and precise as a knife. When Rosaleen meets a handsome hunter on a forest path, she already knows the rules. Whether she follows them is another matter. Stephen Rea appears in one of his earliest film roles.
Jordan builds the film as a series of nested dreams — gothic, sensual and deliberately strange. It's less about scares than about desire and danger wearing the same face. Stream The Company of Wolves online on iFILM.
