The Wolves of Kromer
Once upon a time in the village of Kromer lived two beautiful young wolves. Cocksure Gabriel takes newcomer Seth under his paw and helps reconcile him to the vilification associated with being a wolf. They fall head-over-heels in puppy love, playing together around picturesque waterfalls, secluded woodlands, and moonlit lakes. One day a wicked old crone and her goofy sidekick kill their mistress, frame the wolves, and incite a torch-bearing mob of religious zealots to seek vengeance on the hapless pair. But who will live happily ever after?

Highly Overrated But Still Good
A Major Disappointment
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Blistering performances.
The two "werewolves or wolves" are a metaphor for the coming of age and male homosexuality. The idea behind the film is "Basically we are no different than the rest of you." The strange part is, they didn't have to add the wolf part into the film - they could have left it as simply young gay love and it would have be basically the same movie.There are parts of this film that could have been "spiced up" a bit because those scenes are rather boring really. A little bit of humor but quite a bit of drama. Overall a worthwhile film for young gay men.I have to say the two "wolves" are very nice looking - Lee Williams played Seth and could easily play Dorian Gray - that is who I see when I look at him.To be honest: I had to fast forward through some of the film because I found it boring - the middle lagged to much for me.5/10
There are three really wonderful things about this movie: James Layton, Lee Williams, and the very, VERY last scene. Most of the movie is irritating and very stupid; the story and all of the dialog are dumb; and all the other characters (especially the two old women) are nearly unbearable; but those two boys (oh my!) are so beautiful, and the very last scene is so... I don't want to spoil it, but I will just say it is very much worth holding on for; and it makes me like a silly old song for the first time in the 43 years since I first heard it.That scene and those two beautiful boys raise a one-star movie to at least nine and almost to ten stars. The fact that the movie as a whole is so AWFUL actually makes those three lovely assets shine even brighter. I'm going to buy a copy of this movie, which I do not often do.
This movie promised to be a modern fairytale with a strong pro-gay message. A story of ostracized wolves in love and wanting acceptance from society. It ended up being a film full of missed opportunities. The acting was fair to middling for most of the cast and the two leads(Seth and Gabriel) were definitely pretty, but the director missed the point. The metaphor of wolves as gay men was far too obvious. There was no subtlety in this film and while it seemed that the cast had a good time making the movie, it ended up barely watchable. The wolf motif was creative, but the fluffy tails were a bit much, as were the full length fur coats. The film seemed to be trying far too hard to have a moral and forgot to entertain the audience. So, the moral of this review is, skip the Wolves of Kromer and, if you want a modern fairy tale done right, try Beautiful Thing instead.
unique, in the best sense of the word. say what you want about it (it's low budget, some of the acting creaks, it's not 'horror') but this is bold and beautiful storytelling. and it doesn't hurt that the boys are stunning :-)
