About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, siege-style werewolf story with a strong sister dynamic and bursts of violence, in the vein of Wolf Creek or Quarantine; Not for you if you need fast pacing, humor, or fresh mythology.
Pros: spooky winter atmosphere; strong sister bond; some gnarly gore | Cons: slow, dull stretches; predictable, familiar setup; uneven period dialogue
