Directed by Věra Chytilová • 1987 • Czechoslovakia
Starring Miroslav Machácek, Tomás Palatý, Stepánka Cervenková
Věra Chytilová’s subversive take on the 1980s teen-horror movie assembles a gaggle of bratty adolescents for a mysterious skiing retreat at a snowbound cabin where they find themselves plunged into a sadistic social experiment. WOLF’S HOLE is both a gonzo genre joyride and a blistering allegory for the psychic violence wrought by authoritarian oppression.
