Many praised the film’s ambitious world-building and visual aesthetic, highlighting its attempt to present a uniquely Russian fantasy tale with impressive set designs and atmospheric cinematography. However, some critics found the plot to be formulaic and noted that character development remained shallow, limiting emotional engagement. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated score for the film due to limited international reviews, but individual reviews varied widely. Some reviewers appreciated its raw, gritty action sequences and the authentic portrayal of a mythical ancient world, while others criticized the pacing and screenplay for lacking depth and cohesion. Metacritic scoring is unavailable, but user reviews emphasize a cult appeal for fans of dark fantasy and Slavic folklore. Overall, Wolfhound is seen as a visually compelling film that may resonate more with audiences interested in fantasy and mythology rather than mainstream viewers seeking a tightly woven narrative.
