i have see the movie at the malaga festival and spain . it one of the best gothic story of all time . it a peculiar mixture between the silent of the lamb and sleepy hollow or from hell . it more than a normal horror werewolf movie . much more . it a story where gothic meet romance and where horror meet love and where documentary meet fairytale . yes . cause this be a true story . manuel blanco romasanta be one of the most intriguing serial killer of all time . he be judge in spain in 1852. have confess the killing of at least 13 people and he dare proclaim his innocence represent he be not guilty because he be a werewolf . the thing i like most be the way the author introduce u in a real fairytale . i do not find other word to describe this story . it fantasy and reality at the same time . it like to be at the same time in a chapter of csi and in the tale of red riding hood . we experience this adventure from the point of view of barbara and the woman who fall in love with manuel romasanta and who progressively change her love into rage . the arc of the character be so well developed and that the identification with her be complete . we do feel the same love and the same hatred that barbara felt towards manuel . another strong point of the movie be the cast . and moreover the female role . the actress who play barbara and her sister maria be superb . i really enjoy the way they express their arena . finally and last but not least and i do suggest to keep an eye on this young director represent paco plaza . believe me and he a true genius .
