Love, blood, mystery, and werewolves—what more can you ask for? Alma and the Wolf is a mind-bending trip to Oregon with wolf attacks, missing people, and a strange ambience that will leave you picking the movie down to the paw prints. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 20th, 2025.
Trailer Alma and The Wolf
Written by Abby Miller and directed by Michael Patrick Jann, Alma and the Wolf is a story about an officer named Ren Accord, played by Ethan Embry, who is working on a case of wolf attacks while trying to rebuild a relationship with his teenage son, Jack. When his son goes missing, he works with a strange love interest named Alma, played by Li Jun Li, to uncover the mystery and save his son. So far, the film has won the Audience Award for Best Feature in the 2025 Boston Underground Film Festival and was listed in the 2025 Jim Thorpe Independent Film Official Selection.
The Wolf Hunt
There is more than meets the eye when looking into the given scenes of the trailer. We see scenes that show the crime on the surface, with Alma being a victim of a wolf attack, and a connection between Jack’s disappearance and the wolf attacks. As the trailer goes on, more unusual circumstances such as an illness that infects the townspeople, and Officer Ren having occultic dreams of people dancing in animal skins. The mystery and supernatural occurrences blur the lines of this psychological thriller between surrealism and ritualistic conspiracy.
Closing Report (Final Thoughts)
Alma and the Wolf gives a strange (in a good way) vibe of a grim fairytale, taking a trip to see the Wicker Man festival. The people dressed in bloody animal skins, a strange illness sweeping through a community, and a person searching for his missing son while investigating wolf attacks. I wonder what to expect from the movie’s climactic showdown. All of it seems like a wild and gory ride that’s not showing its hand. My advice: Put on a safety vest and join the Ren Accord in the search party if you want to uncover the truth.
