Series and films about supernatural beings are apparently invisible. Their boom has come in the last few years. It used to be a curiosity to see a werewolf in a movie (I recall the Wolf with Jack Nicholson, The American Werewolf in Paris). But, starting with Another World, Van Helsing, continuing with Werewolves, Blood and Chocolate, Twilight and others like them, films about half-wolves multiply before our eyes.
The film “Wolf Lake”, filmed in 2001, was almost a pioneer of this subgenre of horror, ahead of “The Wolf”, “The Vampire Diaries” (there were werewolves there too) and “Wolf Blood” (the British series, not to be confused with the
Russian action movie!) .At the most interesting point
Only one season was filmed. On this series "Wolf Lake" and limited. After the final scenes, many unresolved issues and unsolved secrets remained. That's the reason for such a sharp cessation of filming was a mystery to most viewers. Either the creators ran out of money, or the Wolf Lake ratings earned low. But the series, despite its brevity, came out not bad, quite worthy of paying attention to it.
Among the dense forestsIt all starts with a stormy love scene: policeman John Canin from Seattle offers his girlfriend Ruby's hand and heart. To the joy of the guy, the chosen one agrees to become his wife. And then a terrible thing happens: the bride disappears. She was clearly attacked, but who and why - Kanin can not find the answers. Then the groom leaves for Ruby’s small homeland, in a provincial town lost among the dense forests with the intriguing name Wolf Lake (in English it sounds like Wolf Lake). That's where something mysterious lurks! People here hold communities, do not really like to contact the outside world. They are clearly hiding something. Getting to the truth, you can stumble upon something very unpleasant. So it happened with John. It is not without reason that the city is so called; in it, half-people, half-wolves, who from ancient times have kept the traditions of their ancestors, have really settled in it. How should they perceive a stranger invading their territory? But as they say, to live with wolves - howl like a wolf, and the main character will still show himself ...
Do not have time to get bored
In the series “Wolf Lake” a good acting ensemble was selected. The main character of John is played by Lou Dimon Phillips, in his appearance a mixture of races and blood is guessed. The real name of this Cherokee Indian is from the Philippines - Lou Dimon Upcherch. In his filmography, more than 100 works, mainly in series. The role of Ruby Wilder was played by
Mia Kirchner. An interesting image was created by
Paul Wesley (admirers of the television saga "The Vampire Diaries" are crazy about him, he soloed in it along with the "serial brother" Ian Somerhalder). Good and another obvious Indian, however, Canadian - Graham Green. For his role in the Costner film “Dancing with the Wolves,” this actor was nominated for an Oscar. Of the female characters,
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also worth mentioning
.What else should you pay attention to in the film? Good for the series special effects, wonderful camera work, stunning landscapes. “Wolf Lake” is an interesting fusion of mysticism and romance; viewers will not be bored when viewing it.
