Don't Believe the Hype

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

i hate this movie! it was godawful!It disappointed on various levels!1. No story 2. No Plot 3. No character development at all 4. A monster flick - but definitely not a werewolf movie 5. the monster looks absolutely fake and not believable at all - you can make out - its either poorly designed puppet or a guy in suit. 6. no back story to the monsterThe movie should have subtitles since the actors all have really thick Scottish accents - which makes it extremely difficult to understand what the lot of them are spouting through the movie - at least for audiences outside of the UK - who cannot fathom what the heck the wurrdzz (words) that come owwttt (out) of the actors even mean! I've never been so disappointed in a movie!A pregnant teen gives up her child for adoption and then goes for a cross country trip with some friends - where she finds a baby in a castle ruins, picks it up not knowing that the baby is the monster's child. mama monster chases the group and kills 2 of the group. papa monster follows the girl - kills her stupid boyfriend who idiotically decides the jump from a tree knowing full well that the monster in nearby. papa monster kills some cattle and an idiotic cattle rancher who ignores the girls hysterically frantic warnings as well as 2 people in a nearby bed n breakfast. The girl has been breastfeeding the kid since the time she 'picks' him up. she mysteriously turns into a monster at the end of the movie and walks into the sunset with papa monster.please avoid, avoid, avoid!The people who claim this movie is any good are either friends or related with the director/producer/actors or just have no standards at all!

It is wonderful that a movie actually shows a woman breastfeeding a baby, but it's a shame that it was in this disaster. It was confusing and hard to follow. Throw in the bad acting and the hideous lighting and you have a train wreck. The ugly, fake monsters were the icing on the cake. With a budget of $1 million, you'd think they would be able to afford a bit more believable costumes/effects.The basic plot of a girl giving up her baby for adoption, then finding an abandoned baby during a hike where she and her friends are then stalked by a murderous creature is interesting. It had so much potential with additional development. Unfortunately, this is where the director fell short.

Despite reading a few negative reviews on this movie I thought I'd give it a go tonight and I'm very glad I did. The only thing about this film that strikes me as a little off is that the werewolves look very different from anything I've seen before. Maybe even a little cheesy. However the acting, camera work, the story and the way the movie is put together all make up for it. The ending of the movie is perhaps the best part and for me a good ending makes or breaks a movie. I won't go into detail so as not to spoil the end of the film, but suffice it to say there is quite a twist and it did not end the way I was expecting at all.The special effects are a little lacking at first but they greatly improve toward the end. One scene in which a werewolf virtually bites a man in half is especially well done and makes up for the lack of gore earlier in the movie. All in all the effects, perhaps (though I hesitate to say it) with the exception of the wolves are very well done. I hesitate because I'm still not sure if I liked the wolves or not, it was refreshing to see something different but at the same time as I said earlier, they seemed a bit cheesy. I'll likely watch the movie again soon and I think watching a second time around I'll probably decide I like the wolves and they aren't cheesy at all. The film is loaded with the type of dialog and wit you would expect in a film from the UK and it all comes off very well. There are some tense moments and a lot of wondering what will happen next, I don't think it's truly scary but I do think it's a great werewolf movie. If your a fan of European horror you will definitely get into this movie and love every minute of it. It's movies like this that make me glad I root to dig up things that are out of the ordinary because even though a lot of the time you get disappointed, more often then not you come out of it smiling.

I went to see wild country just over a week and a half ago and i must say i quite enjoyed it. its understandable that they couldn't do everything they wanted to do with the film considering the small budget of i think it was around about 1 million which is not a lot for a feature film. But apart from the kind of Ropey special effects and the pretty bad ending the movie as a whole was really good, with strong performances from Samantha Shields who was very realistic threw out the film unlike some of the other performances in the movie. Another person who really stood out in the film was the young Jamie Quinn who played the part of Mark, who at the start of the film came out with a few great one liners towards his brother and the two girls and made the part Mark a very believable character and shows that his career will not end with one feature film. Over all Wild Country is a very enjoyable and is a must see for all Scottish cinema lovers.Barrie.
