Li Jun Li and Mather Zickel add layers of complexity to this unfolding mystery, their performances amplifying the film's unsettling tension. The disappearance of Ren's son after a brutal animal attack plunges the narrative into a descent into darkness, forcing us to question what we see and hear. Jann's direction excels in building suspense, leaving the audience on edge, grappling with the film's exploration of trauma, guilt, and the fragility of the human mind. 'Alma & the Wolf' is not for the faint of heart; it's a haunting masterpiece of psychological horror.
