She Wolf Rising



A fan gets more than he bargained forWriter-director Marc Leland goes meta with the werewolf genre with She Wolf Rising, in which Tiffany Shepis plays a scream queen who puts the bite on one of her fans.




She Wolf Rising




Meta horror comedy that focuses more on the ins of indie horror filmmaking than the she wolf storyline (so much so that you almost wonder why making that part of the title. Lots of great indie scream queens in this and lots of funny moments, particularly the best friend listening to the lead guy's entire ordeal with absolute wonderment and jealousy.


Werewolf Rising is a 2014 horror film written and directed by BC Furtney.[1] The film was released to DVD in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2014 and was later released in the United States on 14 October. It stars Bill Oberst Jr. and Melissa Carnell, who portrays a young woman that finds herself the unwitting prey of a werewolf.[2]


Once there, Emma goes through her father's old things and spends the evening watching old home videos. She drifts into sleep, and she begins to have several gruesome nightmares involving a bloodstained man stalking her through the woods. Emma wakes from her dream and heads to the fridge to calm herself. She finds two beers and proceeds to dump the alcohol but is interrupted by a man approaching her as she does so. He introduces himself as Johnny Lee, Wayne's nephew. At first, Emma is unsure of who he is but warms up to Johnny Lee's attempts to make idle conversation. They part ways, and it is revealed that Johnny Lee sleeps in a shack in the middle of the woods. Once there, a howling wolf is heard in the distance.


In the evening, alone in his shack, Johnny Lee hears a wolf's distant calls. Then there is a quick bang on his door, followed by a werewolf breaking down the door and attacking him. The creature takes down Johnny Lee, and in the struggle, he uses a large wooden splinter to defend himself.


Back at Emma's place, Wayne and Emma are eating dinner. While Emma seeks to maintain a friendly atmosphere with him, Wayne attempts to court Emma with flattery and flowers. As the night progresses, Wayne becomes intoxicated and tries to push Emma into a corner and initiate a sexual encounter. Emma refuses and forces Wayne to leave. She composes herself and heads to Johnny Lee's place. Once there, she finds his door in pieces and Johnny Lee with deep lacerations. Emma rushes him to her place for medical attention while the creature watches in the brush. She pleads with Johnny Lee to let her help him and professes that she knows everything about him and does not care but only wishes to be with him. Johnny Lee bleeds out on her kitchen floor. Emma, believing him dead, grieves on the front porch. The rustling of the brush near her porch and deep animal growls frighten her, and she runs inside in terror only to find Johnny Lee missing. Emma finds him in her bathroom and is surprised that he's still alive. She cleans his wounds and offers her help, but Johnny Lee refuses. He reveals to Emma that a large wolf attacked him.


Meanwhile, Johnny Lee begins to turn and aims to attack Wayne, but Wayne quickly guns him down. Behind him, Rhett makes his presence known. He reveals to Wayne that he was the other escaped convict with Johnny Lee and that Rhett is aware of who he is. Wayne shoots Rhett and attempts to strangle Emma as she begins to stir but is interrupted by the werewolf's appearance. The beast drags Wayne to the clearing and kills him while Emma crawls to safety. The beast then turns its attention to Emma, who is able to defend herself with a kitchen knife.


She runs from the cabin with the beast in hot pursuit, only to be tormented as it delights in chasing her. She stumbles upon a clearing with a woman in red, Beatrix, standing next to a campfire. She attempts to warn the woman of the creature, but she chastises her and reveals her name, that she has been writing to him for years while he was in prison and that the only reason he is here is that she led him there. The werewolf enters the clearing, and Beatrix disrobes for him, only for the wolf to kill her and grapple with Emma. As she screams, the creature shifts back to human form. Rhett knows about Emma's dream and tells her that he "knows" her but does not know her father. He tells her that she has something special inside her, like her father before her, and advises her to give in to it. As she writhes on the ground, Rhett tells her she has something beautiful inside her, and Emma begins to transform.


Critical reception for Werewolf Rising has been predominantly negative.[3][4] Reviewers for Bloody Disgusting panned the film and both criticized the movie's special effects, while also agreeing that Oberst Jr. was the "only bright spot in the film".[5][6] Starburst also criticized the film, negatively comparing the plot premise to Juan Martínez Moreno's 2012 film Game of Werewolves.[7]


Ain't It Cool News praised Werewolf Rising and wrote that "while there are some trips along the way in terms of acting and effects, WEREWOLF RISING gets points for trying something new."[8]


However, there is one picture from 2015 captured by ghost hunters that suggests she haunts the castle with her pet wolf. The picture appeared to show a figure wearing what looked like a medieval-style dress with a dog-like figure at her feet.


Ghost hunters spent a night at the castle and reported to hear a dress swishing on the steps just outside of the white room. They also claim to have heard a wolf howling although the audio recorder did not pick anything up.


Groaning to yourself, you begin to wonder about her odd demeanour that you had caught on growing up with her, and you begin to question if she had ever truly gained control of herself or if that wicked wolf of hers had been poisoning her mind. And if so, how long has this wolf been doing such a thing to her?


Many economists and politicians on the left point to the war in Ukraine (for pushing up oil prices, which bleeds into most everything else), and also greedy companies, many of which, despite tales of supply chain snarls and rising costs, have been bringing in record profits. (Corporations, in aisle 4, with the price gun.)


With prices rising at the same time unemployment is low and many companies competing to hire, workers are likely to push harder for higher pay. And companies will probably have to pay up to keep and attract talent.


In spite of inflation, demand hasn't really blinked. Companies have been raising prices and we have been paying them. In fact, in many parts of the economy, spending has been rising right along with prices.


We're not necessarily buying more because we have more money, though. Our collective savings has been shrinking and household debt has been on the rise. It's possible we're spending money we don't have to keep up with rising prices. 2ff7e9595c
