Review
I reckon it’s time to unsaddle my horse and take a seat by the campfire, for I’ve got a tale to tell that might just make your hair stand on end. A tale of shadows, secrets, and supernatural beings. A tale that goes by the name of “Among the Shadows.”
If you’re a fan of mystery, intrigue, and things that go bump in the night, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for this flick. Directed by Tiago Mesquita and released in 2019, “Among the Shadows” takes us on a journey through the underbelly of society – a world where werewolves and humans coexist (or rather, try to).
The story kicks off with a bang when private investigator Kristy Wolfe (played by Charlotte Beckett) is hired by her uncle (a high-ranking politician) to investigate an assassination attempt on his life. The catch? The assailant was supposedly a werewolf – a species which has been discriminated against for centuries.
As Kristy delves deeper into the case, she uncovers all sorts of unsettling secrets about her family, her client, and herself. Along the way, she must navigate treacherous alliances with both human and wolf factions – not to mention deal with some seriously creepy encounters in dark alleys.
One thing I appreciated about “Among the Shadows” was its attention to detail when it came to world-building. The film takes place in modern-day Brussels but imagines a society where werewolves are both feared and revered. There are scenes set in exclusive clubs where wealthy humans can watch wolf fights from behind bulletproof glass; there are rallies led by wolf activists who demand equal rights; there are even little nods to famous werewolf lore like silver bullets.
Of course, any good film needs more than just an interesting premise – it needs compelling characters. And I’m happy to report that “Among the Shadows” delivers on that front as well. Beckett does a fantastic job as Kristy, portraying her as tough, intelligent, and vulnerable all at once. The supporting cast is also strong, with standout performances from Lindsay Lohan (yes, that Lindsay Lohan) as a sultry wolf queen and Gianni Capaldi as a dangerous wolf enforcer.
But let’s not forget about the technical aspects of the film. The cinematography is top-notch, with moody lighting and slick camera work that add to the sense of unease. The score by Frederik Wiedmann (who also composed music for “The Dragon Prince” and “Green Lantern: The Animated Series”) is appropriately haunting.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “werewolf movies have been done to death. What could possibly make ‘Among the Shadows’ stand out from the pack?” Well, for one thing, there’s the fact that it’s not just a horror movie – it’s a blend of genres. There are elements of political thriller, conspiracy drama, and even a dash of romance thrown in for good measure.
But more than that, I think what sets “Among the Shadows” apart is its willingness to take risks. Without giving too much away, there are some twists and turns in this film that I did NOT see coming. And while not every gamble pays off (there are a few cheesy moments here and there), overall I appreciated that the filmmakers were trying something different.
Of course, no movie is perfect – and “Among the Shadows” has certainly faced its fair share of criticism. Some viewers have taken issue with the pacing, or felt that certain plot points were underdeveloped. Others have criticized Lohan’s performance (which I personally enjoyed) or found fault with some of the special effects.
But here’s my take: if you’re looking for an entertaining night at the movies that will keep you guessing until the very end, “Among the Shadows” is well worth a watch. It’s not going to win any Oscars, but it’s a fun ride that will leave you with plenty of questions – and maybe a few nightmares.
