Have you ever danced with a Werewolf in the pale light of the night?

Taking part in two online film festivals at the same time (!) it hit me that due to having enjoyed watching/taking part in the Q&A's so much,I only had a few hours left to catch some of the new titles at the Cine-Excess weekend festival! This led to me getting ready to shine a light into the night.

Note:Some plot details in review.

View on the film:

Getting lost in the woods after losing her job,accommodation,and not knowing who her parents were, Diana Maria Frank gives a terrific turn as Hellheim,whose clean-slate status is used by Frank to push Hellheim's head-strong mind-set to shove pass the whispering locals,and discover what is barking at the moon.

Hired as a construction worker on restoring a old water mill, the screenplay by debut writer/director Misha Kreuz claws into the Werewolf mythology of local town whispers via Minthe's detached state, as Kreuz has the rules laid down by men for Minthe to not enter a eerie outbuilding or to speak to a silent hermit woman, be ones that get broken by Minthe's curiosity to see the light of the night.
