What's in the shed? Ha! It ain't good. Midway through this movie you will have a pretty good idea of what is in there...and it is horrific. Whatever it is...it may have ended a tender and cute love story. That's fine...who wants to see one of those? Weird and creepy is our feature today and if you make it beyond the first 20 minutes...wow! Today we look one from the U.K., 2023's "Wolf Garden," directed by Wayne David.
William (David) and Chantelle (Sian Altman) are a great looking set of lovers spending a quiet time in a cottage in the country. Uh oh...soon we understand we are seeing flashbacks of happier times. Then we understand William is pining over his lost beauty. Something awful happened to Chantelle...but what? William misses her and his memories of her are tender...before they get bloody. William is still at the cottage and later we learn that he may be squatting there...or something else. Guilt and sorrow envelope our weird protagonist as we continue to get bit clues as to what exactly happened to Chantelle.
William seems haunted...and wolves howling permeate the nights. William loves to stroll on or around the cottage property and seeks to stay away from all humans. Uh oh, again. There is a shed on the property and William seems obsessed to check on the locked structure. He also seems duty bound to bring food to whatever is inside...which hardly sounds human. Ghostly apparitions now invade William's consciousness. More memories, visions, and visitation by something that may be Chantelle play havoc with this tender love story...which is now full blown bloody horror.
What happened to Chantelle? What is in the shed? Why is William avoiding all human contact? Experienced horror fans will see where this is going. Perhaps a metaphor for relationships with pushy female leads and wimpy men...yeah...probably not. For a neat tale of love, horror and mystery in the country, see "Wolf Garden."
