The biggest problem of this movie is that the bad guy in it has no motive to kill the children. The wolf from the fairy tale had a very good one: wolves eat goats. Marius Bodochi did a good job portraying a psychopath but even a psychopath needs a reason to kill, decapitate, eat two boys. His sexual attraction to the widow cannot be a reason for such a crime and its also pretty hilarious. The woman portrayed by Maia Morgenstern in this movie has all the qualities of a Romanian women of the past, she is brave, hard working, perfectly able to run a house of four by herself. One thing she isn't is sexually attractive.
