All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Big Bad Wolves (2013)

Starring: Lior Ashkenazi, Rotem Keinan, Tzahi Grad
Director: Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado

Premise:
A series of child kidnapping and murders puts a city on edge. A teacher is arrested for the crime. He is then released due to police error and lack of evidence. One of the officers is not convinced of his innocence. A father of a victim is looking for answers and takes the teacher hostage. The cop stumbles upon the plot and decides to help the father get answers.

My Take:
This is an intense (and darkly funny) film. Complete with top notch performances, great camera work, and believable story. One of the best movies I've watched this year.

Rating: So Good
