Dario Argento's films are characterized by their distinctive blend of violent death and haunting beauty, often prioritizing atmosphere over narrative coherence. His work, from the giallo classics like The Animal Trilogy to gothic masterpieces such as Suspiria, showcases his evolution in horror. With a unique visual style, intense scores, and a penchant for bloodshed, Argento's artistry stands out. His influence extends beyond directing, as evidenced by his production role in iconic films like Dawn of the Dead, solidifying his status in the horror genre.

Coinciding with the release of several other classic werewolf films, The Company of Wolves stands apart with its overtly literary roots, feminist stance and art-house leanings.

In this book, the author explores these aspects and places the film within the context of the careers of its creators, the history of fairy tales, the representation of the werewolf in literature and cinema and Neil Jordan and Angela Carter's representation of the female Gothic style.
