Wilczyca
Directed by Marek Piestrak
Set in 1848, a cavalry officer named Kasper returns home to find his wife dying after a botched abortion – from a pregnancy he had no part in. With her last breath she confesses that she has sold her soul to the Devil, and will return as a she-wolf to haunt him for the rest of his days. Seeking to forget these traumatic events, Kasper takes a job for a Count who’s been driven into exile, promising to look after the man’s house and his wife Julia until the Count can safely return. But Julia is an insatiably lustful creature who quickly takes up with an Austrian soldier in her husband’s absence. Could Julia’s feral nature be connected to the large wolf that’s been seen roaming the grounds?
A cavalry officer named Kasper returns home to find his wife dying. With her last breath she confesses that she has sold her soul, and will return as a she-wolf.

3.5/5: Not bad, some nice effects at the end!
cerebral af
A weird, gothic fantasy with a strong feel for its setting and the history of Poland at the time. I really enjoyed watching it.
this was great
It was an alright movie. Some of the parts made little sense. Perhaps it was lost in translation. It started out interesting and it was slow burning until the last part of the movie. I thought the action and horror in it was missing for the most part. The slow burn didn't pay off in the end.
