The Werewolf Transformation Scene
Unlike ‘True Blood’, when the werewolves just strip nude and they instantly become wolves, Peter’s transformation into the big black wolf is painful. His skin sheds, his eyeballs pop out and his lupine side literally pushes away his human self. To make matters worse, as a wolf Peter has to eat his human skin. If Eli Roth wanted to gross his viewers out with this transformation, he certainly did his job right! However, despite being completely disgusting, we also have to give the show props for using a real wolf instead of some terribly animated CGI wolf, a la Remus Lupin in ‘Harry Potter.’ So while the shape-shifting scene is not something to watch while you’re eating dinner, at least they get an A+ for authenticity!
The Virgin Letha Is Pregnant With A Messiah
One of the more eye-brow raising scenes in ‘Hemlock Grove’ is when Roman’s cousin Letha Godfrey has reoccurring dreams about a shadowy angel who raises her arms right before she discovers she’s pregnant—despite the fact that she, to the best of her knowledge, is a virgin. Her father thinks she was raped and is repressing the memory, but Letha insists she’s the Virgin Mary 2.0. Is Letha truly baring the next Jesus Christ or is her father right? In ‘Hemlock Grove’, you never know!
Brooke Being Killed In The First Episode.
The show opens with a jaw-dropping, hair-raising murder. The young Brooke Bluebell is on her way to a romantic rendezvous with her teacher (yea, we raised our eyebrows at that one too) when she stops let a train pass and then her car is attacked by a werewolf. Needless to say, Miss Bluebell doesn’t make it. The viewers see her gruesome mauling, and if you get nightmares very easily, you might want to close your eyes during this part ‘cause it’s not pretty. To make matters worse, Brooke’s teacher girlfriend has to listen to her die because Brooke called her as she was trying to get away from the bloodthirsty creature. The ‘Hemlock Grove’ writers don’t play around, people. This show is definitely not for the faint of heart!
Shelley’s Deformity Revealed
As a nod to Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, what better way to pay homage to the classical writer than to have Roman’s sister be a mysterious monster-esque character? While we won’t spoil what exactly is wrong with Shelly or why she can’t talk, it’s a shocker to the audience when the full extent of her deformity is revealed. Talk about a sad and tragic figure! We also pity the poor actress, who must’ve spent a good hour in the prosthetics chair too—although the effect is totally worth it!
Chrissy’s Waking Nightmares
Poor Chrissy can’t catch a break. She’s an awkward nerdy writer girl who clams up when she talks around guys, comes off as a creeper, and stumbled upon the second murder victim whom she kisses because she thinks her friends set up a stupid prank. Talk about shudder-worthy! After everything that’s happened to her, it’s no surprise that Chrissy starts to get waking nightmares, which take her from being put on medications to clawing her would-be suitor’s face in a blind panic. Although Chrissy’s
Clementine’s Secret Past
Dr. Clementine Chasseur is not what she seems, but who in ‘Hemlock Grove’ is? While even the local sheriff picked up on the fact that she was too smart to be with the Department of Wildlife, it was pretty eyebrow raising when we flashed back to learn just how and where Clementine picked up on those skills. Let’s just say that it involves a pregnant werewolf, a secretive Order that may or may not be part of the Catholic Church, and an ex-military turned monster hunter. The fake out and the death scene of the pregnant werewolf is like something out of the CW’s ‘Supernatural’, and we think Clementine would give the Winchester brothers a run for their money.

Roman’s Underworld Psychic Journey
When Roman is knocked out and stays in a coma, he undergoes a psychic journey in the Underworld of his own unconsciousness. This journey, led by his sister Shelley in a shout-out to Virgil and Dante in ‘The Inferno’ leads him to some pretty surprising revelations, one of which is who his real father is. The trip itself is pretty psychedelic and is creepy, especially with the hints of “the Dragon” and the blood on Roman’s shirt. Whether this journey is a hint of events to come or merely a meeting of man and the monster within, we’ll leave it to viewers to find out.
The Identity of the Vargulf
While we won’t spoil you, the identity of the vargulf is not who you’d think it is. Lets just say that our eyebrow was raised when the show revealed who the blood-thirsty, crazy werewolf was and trust us, the vargulf’s motivation for going on a killing spree made us raise our eyebrows even higher. The series may be slow at first, but it’s worth sitting through to find out who the loony wolf is. Let’s just put it to you this way-your jaws will drop because it’s not who you would expect at all. Well played, ‘Hemlock Grove’, well played!
Destiny Channeling Victim #2
Destiny, Peter’s psychic cousin prefers to scam potential clients out of their money but when push comes to shove, her powers are real. One of the most shocking scenes was when she channeled the spirit of Victim #2, whose body was found in terrible condition. This isn’t ‘Supernatural’ folks, where you have cheesy CGI’d flickering ghosts. Destiny morphs into some sort of demon-ghost hybrid complete with the creepy sing-song voice, body thrashing, and black lens contacts as Peter desperately tries to question poor Victim #2 in order to figure out who the vargulf is. And let’s not even talk about how Destiny gets into the trance state, either. All we’ll say is if maggots skeeve you out, you’d better close your eyes.
Olivia’s Backstory
While it’s pretty obvious that both Olivia and Roman are upirs (Russian vampires who nom on kids, if you want to know), we were shocked to find out why Olivia hates the Rumancek family and Gypsies in general. Her back story isn’t the usual “girl falls in love with vampire (oops, sorry, upir), gets turned, etc.” However, while many of Olivia’s actions are despicable and some ‘Grove’ fans would argue that Karma comes back to haunt her in a big way in the season finale, her past is pretty tragic and it does, in a bizarre way, make you feel sorry for her. Kudos for the writers for surprising us with the story of Olivia’s past and still keeping her a tragic character who we love to hate!
He had not actually known what to expect in coming here tonight, much less that it would reveal to him two essential truths of life: that men do become wolves and that if you have the privilege to be witness to such a transformation
it is the most natural and right thing you have ever seen.
When I first read Brian McGreevy’s book, Hemlock Grove, a couple years ago, I fell in love with it. It was one of those nice surprises that I sometimes find on the library shelves — completely unheard of up to that point, a complete unknown. Recently I re-read the book for a book club, and I have also watched the two seasons of the TV series on Netflix. This particular work is interesting to me in that the TV series (the first season, anyway) actually seems to be a very nice complement to the book. Reading the book again I often found myself thinking, oh, I guess that was in the series and not in the book. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. First, the book.
At it’s heart, the book is a murder mystery — a serial killer murder mystery. Someone is killing young girls in Hemlock Grove and tearing them up, limb from limb, much as a wild animal might. Teenagers Peter (a gypsy werewolf) and Roman (an upir, a kind of vampire) team up to find and stop the killer, as well as prove Peter’s innocence of the crimes. Other characters in the book are Roman’s sister, Shelley, who is a Frankenstenien creation; Roman’s mother, Olivia, a seemingly ancient and ageless upir; Roman’s cousin, Letha, who is experiencing a “virgin” pregnancy; Peter’s cousin, Desi, who is a cross between a seer and a voodooist; and a variety of other interesting characters that round out the quirkiness of the town. What makes the book special is not only the fun that McGreevy has had playing with various horror tropes, but also the relationship between Roman and Peter, whose dialogue is often just very clever, realistic, and cool at the same time.
McGreevy’s prose is hard to describe. A few paragraphs will go by and you will think that you have it — matter-of-fact descriptions befitting the teenage protagonists of the work.
“The only reason we started burying the dead in the first place was to keep predators from getting a taste for human flesh,” said Roman.
“Is there like a summer camp for serial killers?” said Peter.
Roman shut up. They dug.
But then, bam! He will throw out some gorgeous lines that stick in your head like poetry
“Today I have seen the Dragon …” said the man.
She held out her hand.
“Don’t –” said Roman.
But the man took her hand and held it, a flower known to be extinct.
Hemlock Grove Roman Transformation
or
The fact was he could provide no rational explanation for why he was here. Last night his crying wife had left the room and he had remained seated and his child had taken his hand across the table with the grace of the sunrise, and in that moment when there wasn’t another comprehensible thing left to him he had a feeling.
or he’ll throw in some heartbreaking realism from the point of view of an older character
Their first time had been on this floor many years ago. If it had seemed like he couldn’t have felt worse about it then it was because he had been too young a man to know yet that time is cyclical, that there is no upward limit to the number of times you can make the same mistake.
The book is crafted well, and it kept me guessing almost to the end. The reveal and capture of the killer is handled in an interesting fashion, and because of the character development throughout there is still room afterwards for a few more reveals.
So, it is clear that I loved the book. And, I was actually pretty excited to see what Netflix would do with it. The series was well cast with Landon Liboiron as Peter, Bill Skarsgård as Roman, and Famke Janssen as Olivia. The first season follows the book to the end, and does a pretty good job of sticking with the story. I liked several things especially well:
Hemlock Grove Female Werewolf Transformation
- the werewolf transformation — good special effects along with an interesting take on all of the intricacies of disposing of human skin, etc.
- the changes made to Shelley’s character — these had the effect of making her more believable, sympathetic, and creepy all at the same time.
- the changes made to the plot surrounding the Godfrey Institute and Ouroboros
- the way that Roman and Peter’s friendship was handled — lots of comedy along with the scary, which I think is actually pretty hard to pull off
As mentioned before, I have found that the book and the first season work well when you have experienced both. The TV series works to flesh out some of the ideas in McGreevy’s book that were only hinted at, or which were given a more minimalist treatment. But, without McGreevy’s book, you miss out on much of the character development, back stories, and that beautiful prose. I recommend both iterations of the story for the best experience.
Hemlock Grove Transformation Loup Garou
The second season of the series became available on Netflix in July. It picks up from where the first left off with some new characters and a continuation of one of the plot lines from the previous season. While I felt the first season was better, there were some good things about the second season, as well, and it definitely ends in an interesting enough manner to make me curious what they will do next.
