This is not really a horror movie. If you are watching this because you are into frightening suspense horror with tons of blood and gore and mythology, than this is probably not for you.
The werewolves could have easily been replaced with some non super natural cause, e.g. a real wolf or serial killers. That's not a bad thing, because this movie is not a mythology driven horror shocker, but more of a character driven road movie following an escaped criminal, who hides on some farm far out. And then the killing starts...
What made me like this movie, it was never boring and the characters actually did somewhat plausibly things for people in rural Quebec in 1665. And did not do cliché "stupid" things, people in "real" horror movies do.
The few special effects where better B-Movie quality and you should see this movie as a very good B-Movie.
Spoiler ahead!
My favorite line in the movie is about this (saw the German version)
Nun (to girls, werewolf is about to attack): Pray! Pray!
One of the girls: No! Grab something and throw yourselves on him!
