User Reviews
“The atmosphere is thick and oppressive, and the werewolf transformation scenes are surprisingly practical and creepy. I loved the Brazilian folk horror vibe, though the pacing dragged a bit in the middle.”
“It felt more like a period drama than a horror movie, and the scares were few and far between. The acting was decent, but the story lost me after the first hour. Not what I expected.”
“I appreciated the unique setting and the slow burn, but the werewolf makeup could have been better. The real horror was more psychological, and the ending left me thinking. Worth a watch if you're into subtle horror.”
“Too talky, not enough blood. Maybe I'm spoiled by modern effects, but this felt tame. The only creepy part was the transformation, and that came too late. Not my cup of tea.”
