The two wolves are very scary.

Excellent horror movie, With the digital monsters, makes an excellent werewolf movie, but I wouldn't let young children watch it. 13 and up.

Wolf is an extremely turbulent story with tons of dark twists and turns throughout.  There are parts of the story that will make the reader downright uncomfortable, but at the same time you are always left wanting to know more.  And just when you think you have it figured out, another bit of info falls into place that changes the view of the situation again.  I really enjoyed this story and hope there will be a sequel.

It was a disturbing book, not for the faint of heart, some of the stories are graphic and terrible, makes you truly fear this monsters and wonder why anyone would befriend such creatures.

Another awesome Noah Wolf book. What makes this one extra scary is that the plot is too close to what's happening in our country today. We do not have Camelot to stop it either. You will not want to put Highest Order until the very last page!

Let's get one thing out of the way.  This is not a story about psychotic rogue wolves seeking to eat humans.  This is not a story about werewolves.  It is about survival in a part of the world unwelcome to man.  A group of oil workers on the Alaska pipeline are heading to Anchorage for a little R and R when the plane goes down in the frozen wilderness.  Miraculously 7 survive the crash.  Liam Neeson is fortunately one of the survivors.  He is a marksman employed by the company and is charged with keeping the workers safe from wolves.  He is suicidal because of the recent death of his wife.  These early scenes must have been difficult for Neeson given his own personal circumstances.  In any case, those memories of his wife sustain him as he attempts to lead the survivors to safety.  Attempt is the operative word here.  In addition to below freezing temperatures, blizzards and a lack of food and water, the group must also deal with a pack of wolves looking for dinner.

Ottway (Neeson) knows wolves are cunning hunters and will pick off the men one by one if they let their guard down.  The movie is terribly moving at times as each of the men has their own skeletons in the closet or loved ones waiting to see them.  They are full of grit but a lack of weapons and adaptability to the elements puts them at great risk.  Yes there are confrontations both with the wolves and each other.  And yes, the wolves are vicious but in a realistic way.  Escapist material?  You bet, but don't look for a happy ending.  If you sit through the entire credit list at the end of the film, there is a very brief scene that may make you feel better.  See it!

This book brings you into the very personified minds of a pack of Transylvanian wolves on a journey to stop a hate-ridden she-wolf born with a strange power called the Sight from fufilling an ancient legend. Filled with mystery, surprise, and love of both kinds, companionship and some romance, this book won't let you stop reading till you're finished and will keep you hungry for more. Though the book looks intimidating for its size, if the reader loves the book it will be finished in no time at all. It is a must read for lovers of the animal kingdom as well as mythology and fantasy lovers.

I saw one of the "Wolf Man" pictures with Lon Chaney when I was in one of the primary grades in elementary school.  I was in the front row as they put the youngest and lowest grades in front as the children in the higher grades could see over our heads. It was on a Friday afternoon, and I, being just a child, had the hell scared out of me (the large bed sheet used as a screen was no more than 10 feet in front of me) when Larry Talbot changed into the Wolf Man in a jail cell, snarling and rattling the bars as the camera panned in for a closeup.  To mention just how effective the special effects were at the time, that scene created a fear that lasted for a very long time.  I was especially fearful at night when alone and for years afterward dreaded going into my dark bedroom.  No matter how I tried to describe my fears to my parents, they could not understand and never allowed me have even the tiniest light to allay my anxieties. (They were not cruel . . . things were simply different in those days.)

Looking back, I think that those original "Wolf Man" movies were the state of the art in their day and there are few things new today that can compare with those ground-breakers.

This is the first time I came across the movie ("Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man") where I thought the scene was.  It was not.  Next I watched the first in the series, "The Wolf Man," and it was not in that movie either.

This is the first time I have seen any of the "Wolf Man" series since I saw that movie almost 70 years ago, and I can still picture that transformation from man into beast, with the creature wildly raging against the confines of the bars in the cell.

Is there anyone out there that recalls this scene and in which movie it occurs? Perhaps I am recalling the correct movie but the scene was not included in the re-release.

Thanks,

I didn't know what to think when I began this story about a werewolf with OCD. Natalya is a long-time sufferer. Her OCD is bad enough that she has been thrown out of her werewolf pack because it makes her a weak link. She is surviving working at an antique store and collecting her Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa ornaments and decorations. When her old boyfriend Thorn comes back to town the pressure gets greater. He is the son of the alpha who kicked her out of the pack and he is supposed to marry a girl from one of the high status families in the pack. But he can't stay away from her.

When the Long Island pack tries to move in and take over Nat's former pack things get even worse. The alpha of that pack has targeted Nat for reasons unknown to her. She feels isolated and alone. But she has decided to return to therapy to see if she can get her "collecting" under control. There she meets Nick who is a White Wizard who has the same sort of OCD she has. Nick comes to her rescue a few times when she is threatened. Nat also makes a friend in Quentin who is a necromancer who works as a janitor at the same antique store where Nat works. Their first - and only - date was funny in a creepy way.

Nat is also supported when her best friend Aggie comes to visit. Aggie is running away from her father and an arranged marriage. She is a high status werewolf who has an eating disorder. She and Nat became friends when both were sent to a camp for troubled werewolves.

This was an entertaining and unusual urban fantasy story. I really came to like Nat and look forward to reading the sequel to this book. I am eager to see how the relationship with Thorn and with Nick work out.

So scary I had to break up the watching into 2 sessions. It is mostly scary for the shock value - not blood and gore.

In a new spin on Perraults tale of Little Red Riding Hood, this graphic novel features a little wolf who loves his red cape and is sent by his mother to take a rabbit to his ailing grandmother. Forgetful of his mothers warnings to stay on the trail and beware of the hunter and his daughter, Little Red Wolf comes very close to a dire end and readers find out why the hunter hates the wolves so.

Dont be fooled by the whimsical artwork and title, this is not the Disney kind of fairy tale, its more the old original kind of fairy tale with some bits that are a little bit dark and a little bit disturbing. For middle grade or older readers who can handle the darker twists, this would be a fantastic twist on the classic fairy tale for compare/contrast activities. Also a good pick for those who like their fairy tales a wee bit creepy, but not hauntingly so. And for those studying folklore and how stories can change or how bias impacts a tale, theres a song in this story that has two different versions, one sung by the hunters daughter, the other sung by the wolves. Its up to readers to decide which one is true and shows how viewpoints can change a storys telling. The artwork and design in this are truly marvelous, so even if you prefer your fairy tales with happy endings (like me) you still might find yourself mesmerized by this feast for the eyes (I certainly did...and can see myself rereading this multiple times). The artwork alone deserves four stars.

Notes on content: No language issues or sexual content. The little wolf devours a rabbit on page but it isn't bloody or gory (which almost makes it disturbingly clean). The tale with two versions involves the death of someone, with blood hinted in crimson tones on the page but not gory. Wolf skins are discovered by the little wolf which disturbs him.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This movie is dark, beautiful, classical and terrifying. On a list of disturbing scenarios this one is very much at the top. Vicious, sharp, deadly and smart these creatures are fearless in bringing terror right to you in the dark. They are angry and ready to steal your soul. The movie taps into ones ancient fear of the dark and combines it with the fear of clever and devious villains trying to harm you. The story was great and the movie does justice to the original. I hope a sequel is made. Enjoy.

This is a true classic .It scared the heck out of me when I saw it at the drive in. The werewolves are far advanced compared to Lon Chaneys wolfman. They are huge and imposing. This movie took me off guard. The little bits of nostalgia and humor make it lighter too. Seeing little red riding hood and the gypsy in Lon Chaneys "the Wolfman"footage  along with Dee Wallace as the newsanchor turning into a cute werewolf then getting shot and switching quickly to a closeup of dogfood in a commercial were pretty cool! And the little piece at the end with the sexy wolfgal ordering a burger rare were a nice touch.

This paranormal novel was quite interesting and not at all typical of other paranormal type books with wolves in them. While the wolves of Twilight could transform themselves rather quickly into wolves, the other shapeshifters in She Called It, Wolf had more difficulty changing. Except for EJ, the main female character, who seemed to do this effortlessly.

EJ comes home from the army only to find out that her uncle has already passed away. She inherits his trailer and everything her uncle had. She also inherits a dog named Barkley, some new friends, a gold mine, a bunch of goats, a donkey and also, a guy named Adam.

Adam is the small-town sheriff of Felony Falls. But Adam and the whole town hold a secret. Many of this small town are shapeshifters or married to one. When two of the towns upstanding citizens are murdered in front of their young children, and the children are kidnapped, the town goes crazy trying to find these kids without giving away their secret to outsiders.

EJ herself is a shapeshifter, which is quite unheard of. Only a few in the history of the wolves have been women, and none of them can change as fast as she can. That is the questions that are left unanswered. Why is she the only female wolf, and why can she change so easily, when it takes some of the wolves up to 15 minutes to go through this painful change? EJ seems to be able to change on the fly, and at will.

EJ finds herself staking claim to the old mine that her uncle had, but in the process, stumbles upon a building out in the middle of nowhere. She ends up finding the children there. The children are abused and tortured, having experiments done on them. One of them almost dies in the process of these experiments.

While rescuing the children, we find out something else about EJ that makes her different from the other shapeshifters. I'm not going to tell you what it is...you'll have to read the book to find that out.

I like that the author made the wolves a bit different than the wolves from other novels, but it sounded downright painful and I know if I was watching the movie, I wouldn't want to wait that long before the wolf appeared.

I also like the special surprise ability that EJ exhibits at the end, and I also like that her wolf would talk to her, soothing her and helping her with the decisions she had to make.

I thought the ending could have been a little stronger, but overall, a pretty good book. There were some editing problems, grammar and spelling mistakes, but those are easily fixed and a good reviewer (and reader) can get past those mistakes to see the real story behind it.

Overall, I give this story 4 stars.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf have been busy during the past twenty years.  With three boys and one girl, they've been blessed.  But Lilith, their daughter never felt that way.  It's hard on an alpha female when your folks are the only ones in shifter territory to be of two separate races.  At thirteen she made a deal with Rumpelstiltskin.  Years later, Rumpel's butler, Giles finds a nineteen year old Lilith as she is about to experience a nightmare situation.  You see, Rumpel has sent Giles to collect on Lilith's debt.  He is both her salvation and her curse.  The two must learn to trust each other if they are going to survive Rumple's quest.  Overall, I enjoyed this story.  It was very different than the previous ones.  Hope you love it too!

This is a beginning of a trilogy during pre-history.  Wolves and man are getting closer together and sometimes learning to live with one another.  The story begins with Swift River pack.  A female wolf has given birth to pups belonging not to lead wolf but another male.  The male kills all the pups except for one which the mother fights for and is driven from the pack for defending.  Her male pup is Kaala.  That begins the story of the wolf pack and how they begin to live closer and closer to humans.  Will humans and wolves begin like each other or just hunt together?  I suspect that will be a topic for the next book.  I liked the book and believe it may have a big life in the Fantasy/ Trilogy market.  I just like more literary books myself.  I think the targeted audience will love it.
