She also tells her of sudden disappearances of spouses when the moon is round and the wolves are howling in the woods.

An Interesting Twist on a Classic!
The film starts off in a modern day setting. The youngest daughter is locked up in her room, sleeping, and having a very strange dream. In this dream, her and her family are living in the very old times (Maybe the 1800's, if I had to guess??). Her older sister was killed by wolves. Her grandmother starts telling her stories about wolves, and tells her to be careful of handsome men with thick eyebrows, for they are surely hairy on the inside. She then goes on to tell her that "hairy on the inside" is an expression for a wolf that is capable of blending in as a human. I'm not sure if I'd consider this a werewolf story, for the simple fact that they're referring to wolves and not werewolves. But I will say that it's a really unique twist on Little Red Riding Hood. The steelbook is absolutely gorgeous. It looks great in my collection.
