I was reading some bad reviews about this movie. Some says is low budget production, others that is no reason for the wolf to kill the kids, one said that the leading actress is not sexual at all, so the wolf is having no reason to like her. Others said that some context, like history between them should have been included...Pure nonsense and I will explain why:
1. They have included several subtle references about a past between them, about him not being invited to the wedding and about her husband, "his friend". You, as a viewer, must be able to deduce the wolf's fixation for the mother, wanting his fiend's wife, and she doesn't have to look like an O. F. "model" to be wanted by, ironic, an uglier wolf.
2. There is a motivation for killing the kids, and it makes sense for the wolf because those three boys will grow up and present a threat to him. Also, no wolf will allow somebody else's kids around, and of course he wants the mother to be alone and helpless, easy prey for him.
3. I think this accuracy to the story tale approach was the wright choice and for those who can't understand that the original story is important, and all the folklore behind the story, I recommend them to watch bad Sci Fi movies and documentaries like Queen Cleopatra on Netflix...
