- There's a full moon in the video dungeon this week, Dumpster Dwellers! We're exploring Neil Jordan's gothic horror fairytale that doles out the life lessons and the hurdles of coming of age. Does The Company of Wolves get werewolf lore right? Get hitched to a traveling man who's eyebrows meet in the middle and let's see who's hairy on the inside or not!
The Company of Wolves is a 1984 British gothic fantasy horror film directed by Neil Jordan and starring Angela Lansbury, David Warner, Micha Bergese and Sarah Patterson in her film debut. The screenplay was written by Jordan and Angela Carter, and adapted by Carter from her short story of the same name (featured in her 1979 short story collection The Bloody Chamber) and its 1980 radio adaptation. Carter's first draft of the screenplay, which contains some differences from the finished film, has been published in her anthology The Curious Room (1996).

RIP, Angela Lansbury. 1925-2022
Yep 😢😢😢
I won't repeat what Mr Warner told Joe.
1984 really REALLY was a great year for movies it would seem! Will deffos need to check this one out, Boys!
After Evil Dead Trap you share the status of my favorite horror movie channels! The process of watching these channels go like this:
-I See review of movie I haven't watch
-I go watch the movie
-I come back for the review after watching the movie.
I'll be back in 90 mins!
The vhs cover of this movie and Demons haunted my childhood.
I'm glad David Warner gets a lot of shoutouts now from youtube reviewers. The man was such a treasure. I feel like he was on par with Peter Cushing, but maybe was just missing a Star Wars or a Frankenstein on his resume. He was a lovely dude.
Great review as always, love you guys.
He did have a Frankenstein on his resume, the 1984 tv movie simply named Frankenstein, he played the creature, Robert Powell played Frankenstein, coincidentally Carrie Fisher was also in it!.
Forgot to say, he may not have been in the films but he played a character in a game, Star Wars Force Commander, he did have a major memorable role in Star Trek too, so he at least did one of the big sci-fi vehicles.
@@scottneil11873 roles in Star Trek. I think of him as a fairly big name. I think Brits might know him better.
GREAT MOVIE, GREAT EPISODE! STOKED YOU GUYS COVERED THIS ONE
That must have been so funny hearing David Warner say "See you next Tuesday".
@movie dumpster you need to do a movie call The Way of the Gun it’s got a great cast and next Top Gun or Star Wars has the best opening to a movie ever!
First saw this on Joe Bob. Then visited those early websites explaining just what I had watched.
This is a great werewolf movie with a few surprises and twists throughout.
What are we saying folks? Team Vampire or Team Werewolf?
I'm all Werewolf all day baby!!!!!
Werewolf for me! -Joe
Neil Jordan... visual artist!
Awwwww yeeeeeeyuhhh
After Sean said it was on RUclips. I paused this, and went and watched it, then came back. My feelings are the same as Sean's. It ended and I was like "huh? That's it?"
Edit: RUclips premium gave me 0 ads.
Definitely not for everyone, but we’re glad you gave it a shot!
Okay. It’s been driving me nuts! What is the 3 headed red creature on the top self?
The Deadly Spawn.
Deadly Spawn! We did an episode on it and interviewed Ted Bohus as well. Check it out!
Love the shirt Joe!! My favourite werewolf movie! Actually, Sean yours is pretty excellent too! Sharp dressed gents 👌 Great video!
What the heck is Sean doing watching movies with ads for a review?! 😂 Come on, man, that makes no sense at all. Could totally ruin the experience.
I do it all the time for the show, I’ve mentioned watching movies on Tubi many times! Ads don’t bother me usually. -Sean
I Freaking LOVE Jim Henson's The Storyteller!
Watched this for the first time a few months back. Always been a big fan of Neil Jordan's Interview. Discovered "Byzantium" (underrated, the cave scenes are a full experience) which led me to this. It's definitely one of the better Werewolf movies I have seen. Not up there with Late Phases or Bad Moon, but not far behind. I honestly might even give it to this one over An American Werewolf In London. It has that fever dream quality to it I'm such a sucker for.
Sean, wtf is up with that shirt?
My wife got it for me as a gift, reminds me of Monster Party on NES!
@@MovieDumpster I was wondering that too. I was thinking it was from that game Blasphemous if you have ever played it.
I have probably said this before but just in case I haven't, I love when you guys talk about your history with a film. Be it when you first watched it or simply just remembering how the VHS cover made you feel when you were kids, it takes the listener/viewer on a journey with you and gives us a personal perspective
I probably saw you at Chiller over the past decade, Joe! Did you ever do the Skull Pull table?
It’s totally possible! I don’t think I ever did, what is that? -Joe
I always get this mixed up with Brotherhood of the Wolf.
I watched this on cable just because it was on. It was aight I guess but I figure my taste is more for standard werewolf movies.
Sean is a monster. All the dumpster movies are going to come back and drag him away. His is the hand covered in green slime.
The dumpster is cozy.
Sean where can I get that shirt need to know it's awesome @Movie Dumpster
Never saw it but i remember that terrifying vhs cover in the video store when i was a kid
If anyone is jonesing for more werewolf action I can highly recommend a recent little known British film called Howl, it's banging. Love Company too, used to come on channel 4 after midnight when I was (a lot) younger.
Howl is excellent! -Joe
Two of the Best/Coolest Cinematic On-Screen Werewolf transformations of all time in one Movie! The Company of Wolves was made in 1984 and since then Hollywood/Mainstream movies have all gone digital Special FX and it just doesn't look as cool. End of story. Hopefully the movie industry will move back to the 'in camera/practical special make-up/gore FX in 2025 Peace to all.
I've heard a number of horror fans and critics say they don't particularly care for the werewolf subgenre. I want to say there's also a famous author or director who has stated they don't like the werewolf story. I don't remember any of the exact arguments against the subgenre, or who made them, but it seems like there are horror fans who don't enjoy the werewolf story.
That’s funny because it directly ties into that split of how a person can become such a monster despite their appearance or manner, which has been used in horror stories since forever.
@@MovieDumpster I really wish I could remember the film director or horror author that said they don't like the werewolf story - and why they don't like it. I remember when I heard/read it I pretty much thought the same thing - werewolves are ubiquitous in the horror genre.
All's I know is, when I was little - 7 or 8 - An American Werewolf in London scared the complete shit out of me. Even after my mom had me watch a behind the scenes thing on HBO showing how they did the special effects, I still wasn't convinced it wasn't real. Practical effects FTW!
Brian Glover was great in everything RIP
It's a surreal movie, I know, and a lot of details are purposely unrealistic, but for some reason I can't get over how someone can be eaten by wolves and get an open casket. That the sister looks more like a vampire victim takes me out of it.
While I really like this film for the artistic elements and the fairy tale aspects, I agree that the ending didn't quite make sense to me. I know it was a strange, adult version of "little red riding hood", but having the wolves attack her in her room felt kinda weird.. which may have been the point. I have to wonder if there was anything deleted/edited out of the movie.
I had never seen epic wolf twist like this since Trick r Treat!
Loved the last few reviews you two guys have done. Same thing happened to me as sean, I saw this on Tubi and it did feel like it dragged a bit. I loved the storytelling and effects but it was a bit rough getting there. Guess i just gotta buy that 4k version hahaha
Werewolves and David Warner? Sold.
Can't wait to watch this one guys!!
What does a “see you next Tuesday” mean.
C yoU Next Tuesday.
@@MovieDumpster ohhhhhh..... got it.
I love this one too (and Neil Jordan’s work in general). Oddly, I don’t own it yet (probably because I tend to just buy stuff I actually find in person). I would have loved to meet David Warner. Besides what you mentioned and playing a time-traveling Jack the Ripper, he is important to Trekkies for playing multiple characters in ST movies and shows.
Totally forgot to mention Time Bandits, too! So many good roles. -Joe
hated this as a kid. hate it now. overrated tripe. I DO love David Warner, and the effects were good, but too little too late for me. Hell...Ill take Monster Dog over ythis
To each their own. But Monster Dog over this? I love Identity Crisises, but CoW is objectively better, haha. -Joe
Matter of fact the werewolf transformation in van helsing was inspired by this movie
Interesting! Was that in a behind the scenes feature? I actually love Van Helsing, haha. -Joe
I've never seen this, but seeing that werewolf transformation only helps support the pros of traditional practical effects. I don't care that they can do things with CGI that they could never do practically, but you can see and appreciate the hard work, imagination and craftsmanship that goes into effects like this and John Carpenter's The Thing. You can almost see the pride of the people's labor in the final product in the movie. Practical effects have a beauty that CGI will never have, no matter how "good" it gets.
Just watched this. Really loved it. Like aesthetically perfect. I think the Terry Gilliam comparison is kind of accurate because I think he was looking at this when he made his Brothers Grimm film. That’s pretty underrated to be honest. It was butchered by the studio, but you can still see the greatness buried in there.
Look up “monster in a closet” and “the deadly spawn”…might b two movies you’d like ✌️
We’ve actually reviewed both movies! Check them out if you get a chance!
@@MovieDumpster oh great lol. I didn’t scroll down on the video list to check as it’s extensive 👍 I’ll definitely listen 💚😁
I remember seeing this when I was a kid and it was quite a rollercoaster ride of a film. I enjoyed it. A few years ago my fiancée wanted to watch it because she claimed to be a fan somehow confused it with another film (no sure which one to this day lol) but I enjoyed it more this time around. Great episode as always
I could see confusing the title with “Brotherhood of the Wolf.” The romantic theme and picturing werewolves as actual wolves is also used in the much lighter “Blood and Chocolate.”
