Legend of the Werewolf
“A Tyburn Tale of Terror”
Horror
A travelling circus in 19th century France adopts and showcases a feral "wolf boy", who grows into adulthood only to kill the one-man band. He runs off to Paris, where he develops a jealous, overprotective crush on a prostitute, leading him to attack her client, incurring a pursuit by a determined police surgeon.
VIBE
A grim, atmospheric descent into primal urges and urban squalor. This film oozes a thick, gothic dread, punctuated by bursts of visceral horror and a melancholic, unsettling tone. It’s a brooding, blood-soaked fairy tale for adults.
