Get ready for a chilling cinematic experience that masterfully blends psychological dread with horror! Alma and the Wolf is headed your way, promising a unique and deeply disturbing watch. Ahead of its release, I spoke with director Michael Patrick Jann, who takes us inside the film.
The story of Alma and the Wolf unravels in the seemingly quiet town of Spiral Creek. Terror grips the community as widespread paranoia takes hold after a brutal animal attack. Unfortunately for Deputy Ren Accord (Ethan Embry), his investigation into the truth brings him too close to something sinister. Suddenly, his son mysteriously vanishes, and soon after, his perception of reality begins to fracture. Prepare for a descent into madness where the lines between what’s real and what’s not become terrifyingly blurred.
The film features a stellar cast ready to bring this unsettling tale to life, including Ethan Embry (Empire Records) as Deputy Ren Accord. Li Jun Li (Sinners, “Quantico”), Jeremie Harris (“Legion”, “Fargo”), Lukas Jann (Organ Trail), and Beth Malone (BrainDead, “The Good Wife”).
The talented actress Abby Miller, whom you may recognize from her roles in “Justified” and “The Sinner,” wrote the haunting script for Alma and the Wolf, ensuring a narrative that will get under your skin.
With its blend of psychological horror, folk horror elements, and a compelling mystery, Alma and the Wolf is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of unsettling cinema. Are you ready to unravel the truth in Spiral Creek? Watch the film when it premieres in theaters and on Digital on June 20, 2025.
