I am shocked with the high ratings of this movie. It's just boring nothing with no meaningful end. The whole plot can be told in a couple of lines. Something kills sheep. 2 boys think it's a werewolf. Then the younger boy loses his dog. Then half of the film he wanderers in the forest looking for his dog; nothing happens. Then he meets a man living in a house in the forest; nothing special in the man and the house. The man says he is the beast who kill sheep; we never know if he means it literally. Nothing else happens between the man and the boy. Then the man puts the sleeping boy in the boat. The boy is found by rescuers. The older boy founds his dog (alive). The boy breaks the fence which was built to protect sheep from the beast. Then we see the boy lying on his bed (alive), with a pool of something like blood under the bed. The end.
Ah yes, the boy also had an elder brother which was a drug addict, was expelled from home and maybe died or maybe committed some crime. We never get any explanation of this line, too.
