THE WOLF | Werewolf Horror Short Film

A love letter to the goofy horror flicks from the 1980's we grew up with.
A drunk city boy missed the last bus ride home at night and decided it was a good idea to take a shortcut through the dark, dense woods of Torup, Sweden.
It was not a good idea.
In Nordic folklore, werewolves were said to be men who put on enchanted clothing made out of wolfskin. This way, they could voluntarily shapeshift into fierce beasts on the battlefield (also known as "berserks", roughly translated to "wearer of bear clothing") or gain egotistical power over villages through fear and murder. But some were cursed (usually by trolls) into werewolves, never to become human again. The human never truly went away, however, as a slain werewolf hid the human body within. In this short film, it's unclear whether the werewolf is cursed or made manifest of own free will, it simply is a beast prowling through the night looking for prey.
The silver bullets and transformations during the full moon are but cinematic solutions to a grim reminder of the beast inside all of us, whether it be by our own choice or by curse to unveil.

[@jaaronfletcher]

Can’t put my finger on it, but for some reason I want to listen to the Ramones. 🤨

[@Lady-Evonne77]

I remember that song. Cool story behind it too.

[@sagenfilm]

haha, great! we have an extended version of the song, maybe in ten years or so when we have a whole collection of songs we'll release it on a cassette tape! Thanks for watching! :D

[@juggaberglund]

Det va en satans jävla ulv 🎵🎼🎤 🤣👏🏻 Tufft 😃

[@XMguy]

The Wolf wanted his Sony Walkman. Look it it’s a Sports model with Auto Reverse!!

[@sagenfilm]

And those things are hard to come by in the 1988 Swedish woods for sure! He just wanted his groove back.

[@wjumeau]

I was kinda hoping the werewolf was going to remove his headphones and put them on. Then remove his head. Then start dancing. I guess it was a very short film 😁

[@sagenfilm]

We’ll be using this in the feature film, thank you!

[@AcapulKero]

Yeah! Great work!

[@sagenfilm]

Thank you so much!

[@calebhall3435]
