PopHorror Let's Get Scared
A sheltered housewife abandons her marriage and her misogynistic husband, only to learn that he used to be the leader of a doomsday cult that she is about to join in At Night Comes Wolves. The film was written and directed by Thomas T.J. Marine. It stars Gabi Alves, Jacob Allen Weldy, Vladimir Noel, and Sarah Serio.
Synopsis for At Night Comes Wolves
In this unnerving tale about misogyny, fate, and sexism comes a story about a woman who is about to change the world forever. After Leah Shaffer finally leaves her emotionally manipulative husband, she finds a friend in a drifter whom she quickly feels a deep connection with. The drifter introduces Leah to a prodigal chemist, and Leah learns her new friends are all that is left of a doomsday cult that disbanded years earlier. Together, the new trio is about to change the world, but before they can reveal their secrets, they have to tie up loose ends with Leah’s husband– and their ex-leader.
Man, this is one crazy story. At first, I felt infuriated and didn’t know if I’d be able to watch it. The misogyny is horrible and not easy to watch. But towards the middle of the film, the story takes a complete turn and becomes even more twisted and bizarre. Justice will be served.
Gabi Alves was phenomenal as Leah. Her character goes through hell and back and she somehow finds the strength to carry on and thrive for a better life. It’s an emotional and award-winning performance. Jacob Allen Weldy plays a villain all too well. He delivers a sadistic and hateful performance that will leave you despising him.
Final Thoughts
At Night Comes Wolves wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but it was enjoyable and unique. Gravitas Ventures will release At Night Comes Wolves on digital platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Fandango Now, and all major cable/satellite platforms on April 20.
