* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Cesaire]] is the [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] who has been for years [[SavageWolves terrorizing the village]] [[spoiler:his daughter]] Valerie lived in. While living as a seemingly normal member of the community, the wolf left the people alone due to animal sacrifices for the past twenty years, before deciding to find richer hunting grounds ''in'' the city. He planned to take [[spoiler:his daughters]] with him, and turn them into werewolves too, but upon finding out that [[spoiler:Lucie wasn't his]], he kills Lucie in a fit of rage. He would later take his revenge on [[spoiler:his wife's lover, Henry's father]]. He'd return as a wolf and kill off the knights sent to protect the village. Confronting Valerie as a wolf, he tries to get Valerie to leave with him, threatening to kill her friend Roxanne and massacre the village if she refuses. Later on, he goes on a rampage, during which he bites off Father Solomon's hand. The next day, he kills [[spoiler:his mother]] and feeds an unwitting Valerie her remains as soup, before trying to bite her against her will, and attempting to kill her LoveInterest Peter.

** The revelation that [[spoiler:Valerie is descended from werewolves and has the potential to be a powerful werewolf herself]]. The film could've leaned into this more, [[spoiler:with the wolf potentially representing Valerie's more rebellious or wild side, and her being tempted by the freedom and power being a werewolf could offer her (especially considering how restrictive life could be for a young medieval woman living in a rural village and Valerie's noted dissatisfaction with her current life). However, Valerie's werewolf ancestry is really only brought up in the context of why the Wolf targets her and she instantly rejects the idea of being a werewolf without any further exploration; Valerie's onscreen rebelliousness also tends to be limited to her wanting to date a bad boy her mother disapproves of]].

** It's a bit disappointing we never get to see a full werewolf transformation onscreen; at best, we briefly see [[spoiler:Cesaire]] get glowing eyes and super strength during the final confrontation (while it's understandable there were no onscreen transformations prior to this moment, to keep the werewolf's identity secret, by the climax this is no longer necessary). Considering that transformation scenes are a staple of werewolf fiction and it presents an opportunity to do something visually interesting and memorable, it's a shame this movie skips this.

Deleted line(s) 9,32 (click to see context) :
* NightmareFuel:
** A deleted scene shows a innocent naive Claude taking a walk out to the haystacks and chasing a butterfly when he stumbled upon the horrific sight of Lucie's corpse.
** The opening showing a young Valerie and Peter killing a white rabbit so that he could make her a pair of boots for winter. The view of the knife against it's throat and the poor rabbit's squeak.
** As narm-y as it is, there is something quite unsettling about a flashback showing Valerie as a child holding a dead white rabbit in one hand and a small hunting knife in the other.
** Adrien being ambushed and murdered by The Wolf. His screams echoing in the caves and his innards being ripped out.
** The common grey wolf in the caves growling at Henry as he attempts to fend it off.
** As Peter and Valerie makeout in the wheat grainery, there's a first person view of someone or ''something'' watching them, waiting to strike. Thankfully it turned out to be a jealous Henry but still.
** The Wolf's attack on the party as the townspeople were celebrating the Wolf's "death". Father Solomon did warn them.
** Suzette being ambushed in her bed by the Wolf and scratched across the face. Nearly blinding her. The fact that the Wolf can easily break into people's houses while they're sleeping.
** A few close-up shots focused on some of the suspect's brown eyes (Madame Lazar, Prudence, Father August, Grandmother, Peter, Henry) can be a little unsettling.
** As Father Solomon tried to sacrifice Valerie, The Wolf attacks Father Solomon and bites his hand ''clean off''. The hand falls to the ground, followed immediately by gushing blood and Father Solomon's painful screaming.
** The nightmare Valerie has of her grandmother: she's lying in bed next to her and suddenly notices what big eyes her Grandmother has. Grandmother then flashes a uncanny creepy wide smile as Valerie comments on what big ears she has. Just as Valerie takes notice of her big teeth, Grandmother's voice deepens to a unnatural low evil tone and kills Valerie while a wolf snarl is heard. It's enough to make Valerie spring upright from her feverish slumber.
** Valerie calling out for Peter as she's overcome with confusion and delirium and falls unconscious due to head trauma. Followed by a nightmare she has of her Grandmother.
** Valerie arriving at her Grandmother's house when she sees a shadowy figure arise. It's Grandmother nursing a cold so she sits down to eat some soup. Soon, Grandmother keeps telling her in an unsettling voice, "that's right. Eat up...". As Valerie takes a few bites of the bloody red soup, she becomes uncomfortable and asks what is it. Then Grandmother's figure rises only [[spoiler: it isn't Grandmother at all but actually Cesaire in disguise. And he just tricked Valerie into eating her Grandmother's remains]].
** [[spoiler: Cesaire easily overpowering Peter (and not in his Wolf form) and attempting to kill him in Grandmother's house. The sight of his supernaturally gold eyes while still in his human form]].
** [[spoiler: Cesaire willing to turn his own daughters into werewolves. He lost control and killed Lucie when he discovered she wasn't his child, and when Valerie refuses to become a werewolf like him, Cesaire still attempts to turn her against her will.]]
** [[spoiler: The flashback showing Lucie being cornered by The Wolf out by the haystacks. How terrified she looked before she died.]]
** The idea of your child being lured to an undisclosed location away from home by a forged message and then being killed by someone or something.
** Poor Claude is accused of being The Wolf and stuffed inside a brazen bull where he suffers an agonizing death just screaming. All because of suspicions over his mental disability and his love for magic tricks.
** The uncomfortable atmosphere as the young Roxanne attempted to sell her body to Father Solomon in exchange for her brother's life being spared. He just laughs it off and sends her away.
** Valerie being bound and tied up and used as a sacrifice for The Wolf. Her face obscured by the Wolf shape metal mask. A few claustrophobic shots of her first person view from inside the mask as well. And the sounds of her panicked hollow breathing.
** Peter being accused of being The Wolf and thrown into the brazen bull, which thankfully wasn't lit on fire at the time. His attempts to escape the torture contraption and his screams for Valerie begin to sound more monsterous.
** At the celebration party, a woman gets attacked by The Wolf, her neck audibly snaps and her corpse goes flying across the ground with blood dripping from the mouth.
** Valerie and Roxanne being cornered by The Wolf as they tried to escape to safety.
