😿 😿 😿
Edition screened: Included in Severin Blu-ray box set All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror, released 2021. Polish with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 103 minutes.
Summary: Graphic death of a dog.
Details:
1) The opening 20 seconds of the film show a raven pecking at meat on the head of a dead horse; not really the meat of the horse, more like some meat placed on the head of a dead horse.
2) Kacper finds and carries away his bloody dog that has been attacked by a wolf, 46:59 - 47:35. The dog appears to be genuinely wounded and dying, twitching and with tongue distended.
3) Kacper pursues and shoots at the wolf. We hear the wolf whimper after a gunshot at 1:1:49, then follow a trail of blood to see a bloody paw (and nothing more) at 1:20:18.
The Wilczyca BD in the Severin box set also includes Lokis: A Manuscript of Professor Wittembach (1970, Janusz Majewski).
