Summary
In a dreamlike retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, a young girl named Rosaleen drifts through a series of cautionary tales told by her grandmother, each warning about men who are 'hairy on the inside.' As she journeys through a fairy-tale forest filled with werewolves and unsettling transformations, Rosaleen confronts her own awakening desires and the dangerous figures who stalk the woods.
Released in 1984, The Company of Wolves is a drama, fantasy and horror film.
The calibrated figure is built from 129 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 133 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Company of Wolves lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1980s (3,141 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 129.
