Reviews
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Nigel P At a top secret military base, three young reporters are determined to uncover the nature of various tests being carried out there. Sinead (Kelly Wines) especially has reasons of her own to find out what is going on – her father, she suspects, was killed by officials who thought he 'knew too much.' Laura (Lucy Clarvis), who is in financial trouble, and her partner Marty (Jordan Murphy) have also agreed to be part of the investigations. Camped out amidst rolling Welsh countryside where sheep are being viciously killed, it is clear something nasty is out there in the gloom.And gloomy it is in this low-budget conspiracy horror. Whilst there is a good sense of remote unease and isolation, things are sometimes too murky to make out clearly. This unfortunate side-effect of the film's low budget is coupled with another blemish representative of such projects – some of the dialogue (especially that of the photographer Sinead meets, played by whispering Matt Brewer) is often impossible to make out.Against that, Sinead and the photographer, who also has his own reasons for wanting to find out what's happening, are caught in the impossible and tense situation where, if the 'Silverhide' creature doesn't get them, the military who are determined to preserve the top secret nature of the project, certainly will.As things roll on, revelations come thick and fast. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with events, but it becomes clear who the real enemies are. There's more to the creature than 'just' a wolf-man type. In fact, it is a shame we don't see much more than brief glimpses of eyes, snout, talons because the effect of the werewolf (notoriously difficult to realise convincingly) is good. However, due to the spectral talents it possesses, the audience probably sees more of the animal than the soldiers do … This is a flawed but interesting film with a good twist. It won't satisfy everyone and the plotting is sometimes hazy. But it emerges as a very interesting and enjoyable project.
Pixie Troth I would have rated this movie 0/10 because it is quite possibly the WORST film I have ever had the misfortune to watch EVER!!! HOWEVER, I do recommend that you give this a viewing because it is so BAD!So the setting is on a Top Secret Military Base/Facility deep in the desolate, dark and SPOOKY Welsh Mountains and a group of young conspiracy theorists who are sniffing about. They are staking out the base on the moors and a heavy electrical thunderstorm storm knocks out the security fence which releases a blood thirsty creature that the Government and military are testing out as a new super weapon, the creature has a special silver fur coat which has the ability to render itself invisible under the cover of moonlight (WOW!!) However this is unbeknown to the group who are camped out on the spooky moors. Now the three reporters are being stalked by the creature with the Military in hot pursuit of the monster so as to keep their Top Secret experiment a secret and will stop at nothing to keep it that way. As the trio face the blood thirsty top secret invisible by moonlight drooling werewolf, salvation is here!! He is photographer who was taking pictures of sheep and witnessed the poor animal being savaged my the monster, can he save them from the creature and the military too???The sound in the movie is awful, the acting is bad,bad,bad! woeful effects and the blood thirsty werewolf/creature you only see brief 2 second glimpses of its face which resembles a constipated cross eyed Gizmo from Gremlins! I cannot truly express how bad this movie is, you just have to see for yourself!
rpaleschi This movie is so very dull that I found myself reaching for my phone to check my Facebook status within the first 10 minutes. I'm a real fan of low budget horror but this was probably one of the worst scripts I've seen in a long time. It just labours along like an asthmatic jogger and if someone told me a guy down the pub just grabbed a few of his mates to act in it I wouldn't be too surprised. If any of the cast act for a living I'm worried that after this they might starve.Sorry to be so negative but if this movie had a face I'd punch it!Oh and the monster is rubbish.
davannacarter To be honest with you, in terms of acting and writing, this movie isn't any worse than your average horror movie. But in terms of technical quality: sound, lighting, camera work, directing, editing, etc. even the average found footage movie is better. I am not lying or exaggerating.I am not bashing the director for filming outdoor scenes indoors. I am bashing him for filming them so amateurishly. It was waaaaay to dark sometimes. You have to watch this movie completely in the dark. Otherwise, you'll constantly be saying, "What am I looking at?" I am sure the director excessively darkened the outdoor scenes to mask the fact that they were shot indoors. But it doesn't help if people can't seem much of the time. It also doesn't help when the dialogue makes it painfully clear the outdoor scenes were done indoors. The sound quality for this movie was bad. You could have the loudest speakers on Earth, the sound turned up full blast, your ear pressed against the speakers, and you'll still be unable to hear some of the dialogue. Halfway through the movie, I gave up trying to hear what some characters were saying. Even when they were speaking at normal levels I couldn't make out what was being said.The sound and crappy lighting make this amateurish movie even more amateurish than it needed to be. Some of the writing was real dumb that would have writers for SyFy channel movies shaking their head, "This top secret government agency *gasp* is secretly running this place." When I heard that line of dialogue I almost immediately stopped watching the movie. The character who delivered that line is speaking after he had gotten his arm ripped off at his shoulder less than 2 minutes ago. This guy has his arm ripped off, they put a towel over his huge wound, and yet he's coherent enough to deliver a long dialogue that lasts more than 5 minutes? WTF? And the movie has seemed to have forgotten about the guy who got shot twice from an AK47 less than 20 minutes and is sitting less than 6 feet away. One character gets shot twice with an AK47 while another gets his arm ripped off up to his shoulder, the main female character only puts a towel over their wounds, and both injured men act as if they fell off their bicycle and landed on their shoulder? It makes no sense. Why isn't the main character screaming for help?There are a few other technical problems wrong with the movie (like the terrible editing), but I won't go into detail. Nor will I go into the other ridiculous aspects of the writing that would have SyFy channel writers stunned speechless. I'll just go into the two most important parts of a horror movie: the kills and the creature design.The kills are horrible. The kills are either off-screen or its CGI blood. The filmmaker couldn't even bother to give us fake blood. He had to give us crappy CGI blood.The monster costume? It's just a puppet head! The movie doesn't show the monster from the neck down at all. Not once. You only get to see the head. And even when they show the head it's for less than 5 seconds at a time. But if your eyes are quick enough you can clearly see the monster is just a puppet head. When I saw the puppet head, my jaw dropped open. I was stunned for 5 minutes. Then I thought, "Maybe it's just a fake-out or something. Maybe that's not the real monster." But then at the end of the movie I saw the puppet head again and my jaw dropped open again. And my jaw stayed open for the remainder of the movie, right through the end credits. And I physically had to close my jaw until after the credits ended. No CGI monster. Not even a dude in a costume. Just a puppet head of something that looks like rabid possum. Wow. To anyone who is reading this review: if you want to make a horror movie right now. Do it. You'd have to try extremely hard to make a movie worse than Silverhide.
