Summary: A great movie - beautiful, funny, odd
Review: I first saw this film at a film festival a few years ago, and have looked forward to getting it on DVD since.It's a beautiful movie - the settings and scenes are lush and rich, and the characters are all wonderful - from sexy young men to ridiculous old ladies. It's a fairy-tale-esque story with wolves as an allegory to gay men, with a nicely intertwined story of some elderly ladies plotting to kill their mistress. It's not just worth watching, it's worth watching more than once!

Summary: Significant Disappointment
Review: I saw this film before its release, at the New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. It sticks in my mind still because of its trite, fully derivative, predictable, and tedious plot. I cannot recommend the film...

Summary: A Howling Success
Review: A beautifully written and filmed feature that intelligently explores homophobia and hypocrisy through an allegory that reworks Little Red Riding Hood amongst the Shropshire Hills. The Wolves of Kromwer focuses on the relationship between Seth and Gabriel, two gay wolves, their supposed murder of the local lady of the manor and the resulting wolf hunt. Imaginative script with surreal comic touches. Well acted and good characterisation. Involving and thought provoking. Premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Charles Lambert (writer and producer) is a man I am expecting great things of in the future.

Summary: Haunting, mind-blowing
Review: This is one of those rare movies that upon first view it enthralled and frightened me with it's subconsious familiarity. From Boy George's first words of narration to the strange interaction of a local women to these two "wolves" I was hooked. And while it could be seen as simpistic. When have fairy tales ever been complex? A case could be made that the acting is all over the place. Have you seen Star Wars II? The great "secret" of this movie seemed a bit obvious. But considering the current stuff in the paper seems sort of precient. Entertaining. Sensual. Evocative. Strange.

Summary: OH, PLEASE GNAW ON ME MR. WOLF!!
Review: .
Not a drama, not a thriller, definitly not a horror film, well, what then? You got it, a comedy in way too many acts. Our big bad wolves run around the forrest with their tails sewn to their ratty, not-so-fur-like-mid-moth-eaten -coats and yap like foxes instead of wolves calls. I admit I was the one doing the howling. The only acting I was able to pick up on was the two elderly ladies and they snarled and howled more than the wolves. Actually they were waiting at GMAWS house to eat the wolves... I say, if you ever have a little...get-together for a film fest, this would get everyone off-(no not that off), on a light note. You could spend hour's picking it to pieces....and howling!!
I gave it a (one)* And a 'shame-on-you', kick- in- the- cinematic- reels for wasting so much celluloid.
This has set the 'gay motion picture' back to the dark ages. There were three rich guys plus Boy George who got together ,
this was their first movie and hopefully their last...

Summary: A Werewolf Movie with No Bite
Review: I'm going to keep this review short as the movie doesn't deserve more than that. I didn't care for it. I've watched it 2 2/3 times. The first time, I was underwhelmed. I then watched it with the director/writer commentary. Their insights, such as they were, did not improve my initial assessment. After many months, I took one more look (this sometimes helps me reassess previous feelings about movies. ....P>As an allegory for the gay experience, it's unexceptional at best. As a retelling of fairy tales, it's weak. Some of the direction is appealing, but the design and the script are unexceptional. My advice: move on. There are much better movies about werewolves. There are much better movies about being gay. (C)2002 Joe Edkin

Review: What a magical movie! This movie was well directed, well acted and above all well original!
James Layton and Lee Williams embrace their roles so well. They both acted so well together.
This is by far the best movie I have seen in a long time.
My congratulations to the Cast and Crew for a truly fantastic movie.
BUY IT BUY IT BUT IT !

Summary: Stupid
Review: The plot to this movie is stupid, and the acting is very bad. The men are handsome and nice to look at, but that is all there is to this movie.

Summary: The best film ever about gay werewolves
Review: The Wolves of Kromer is a strikingly original British fantasy that uses the wolf image as a metaphor for being "gay". Although the film was invariably low-budget it has been beautifully photographed on various rural English locations and cast with two extraordinarily photogenic newcomers as the two lead were-guys. In the same way that Anne Rice reimagined the vampire image in her books, being a werewolf in this film essentially consists of wearing a fur coat and having a bushy tail sticking out one's backside (a sort of phallic pun perhaps) rather than being a special effects monster of the American Werewolf or Howling variety. While numerous horror films have toyed around with homosexuality in various forms this is probably the most overt it has ever been, at least since some of the late 70's Hammer lesiban vampire films. To call this a horror film though is somewhat innacurate as it is much more of a symbolic fairy-tale with virtually swear-free dialogue and no graphic onscreen violence or sex. Obviously from the other reviews posted here those looking for these things will be disappointed. A charming work.

Summary: Crying Wolf: disappointing and over rated
Review: If you are looking for Queer as Folk with fangs and claws, this is not it. I bought the movie The Wolves of Kroven thinking it was promising story of love and persecution with a somewhat happy ending. It's also sold in a visually attractive package with an eye catching picture of the stars on the cover and let's not mention the five reviews. It's nothing like it. The movie that is neither comedy, parody or horror. The plot has so many gaps is ridiculous, the relationship between the two main characters is superficial. This is sold like a gay film but the subject of gay love is passed on until the very end, correction, the very disappointing and somewhat ridiculous end. If you want to see a something with a script that best describes the deepest emotions in a relationship of two men, just watch South Park or Queer as Folk (USA). The writers of those two programs can express the deepest feelings of gay love in a few minutes more than this mediocre movie attempted in it's 100 minutes. And by the way, don't expect any good making out scenes.
