WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a small French town, twentysomething loner Teddy (Bajon) is scratched by a beast in the nearby woods, which the angry farmers have been chasing for some time. Soon, Teddy finds himself overcome with animalistic urges, and slowly undergoes some terrifying changes…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This low-key French horror from sibling filmmakers Ludovic and Zoran Boukherma might not exactly reinvent the werewolf movie, but it gives the subgenre a deliciously dry new spin.
