Wolf Town

I wanted to see a vicious pack of wolves destroy some humans. Sadly, that didn't happen.

1) The "wolves" were just a bunch of dogs... I guess the director didn't want to waste his time getting real wolves. I don't see how wolves are that much harder to train or more expensive than bears (since that director made a different movie about a killer bear) .. If you can get a bear for another movie, you should be able to get real wolves! I didn't rent this movie to see dogs. I rented it to see WOLVES!

2) ALL the attack scenes were horrible. I don't have very high standards for animal attacks, but this movie really crossed the line.

If you want to see real wolves (or at least CGI wolves, like in "The Grey"), Wolf Town is NOT the movie for you. The cover is extremely misleading. The "wolves" in the movie don't look like the wolves on the cover AT ALL.

The "attack" scenes don't even deserve to be called that. This movie is a movie about teens running away from wolfy-looking dogs. The action is lame. This movie is NOT worth your money and especially not worth your time.

I can handle the whole cliché thing, and I can usually even enjoy a lower budget movie from time to time, but this movie gives a whole new meaning to the word "low-budget".

The wolf attack scenes are almost laughable. The camera simply changes angles and cuts to different areas that it is impossible to even see what is happening.

The acting isn't terrible, although what the writers have the actors doing is quite ridiculous. They just wander about the town, going off by themselves from time to time, often for no reason at all. It just seems as though someone was too lazy to come up with even a half-decent plot line.

I really feel this movie was not even worth the $1.20 that I paid to rent it from a RedBox.

This movie is a waste of film. I saw another movie, looks to be filmed around the same time, about several friends on an island being attacked by dogs, which while not great, is 10 stars above this one, but I can't recall the name. This movie is very low budget. First of all, there are only 4 actors, not the usual 6-8 you would expect in this type of movie. Literally 4 actors, no one in the background, no one else seen ever in the film. Since there are so few actors, only one can be killed off otherwise there would be no one left to create tension. It's three boys and one girl, a relative sausage fest. The female character doesn't' even take off her jacket, so forget your thoughts of gratuitous nudity, nope not here. This movie is rated R? For what? the gore, please, some spaghetti and ketchup? Oh yes several foul words tossed in to get the rating. One thing to note, if you look at the breakdown of who likes and dislikes this film, women overwhelmingly gave it higher marks then males, soooooo, you may want to rent this one with your girlfriend if she is not much of a movie fan. She maybe pleased by it. In general the actors themselves are not bad, but they have nothing to work with. Horrible script, no imagination, no real plot. Basically a dud to be forgotten in the cabinets of Hollywood or whatever low budget place this was concocted. If I had paid money to see this in the theater I would have been very upset, but a dollar rental serves as a lesson, read reviews first.

Wolf Town is another one of those films that I spotted on Youtube and decided (Against my better judgement) to give a chance due to the impressive cover art.

I had no idea what to expect and just assumed it would be another low budget horror mess so was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

For a start the film looks great, the budget limitations are blatant but they get around that using solid camera work which disguises it brilliantly.

The story is about a small town in the ol'wild west that discovers gold but mere months later they are all gone and it's become a ghost town. Cut forward to modern day and four 20 somethings visit and discover the horrifying secret behind the towns fate.

This story was solid and the execution was highly original. The characters are hit and miss and are the biggest weakness by far, our "Hero" is a whiney little unlikeable idiot that it's very hard to get behind.

If you can get past that we have a competently made, genuinely interesting horror/thriller that is well worth anyone's time.

The Good:

Looks great

Fantastic story

Budget limitations are very well hidden

The Bad:

Some weak characters

Rushed ending

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Wolves are just dogs

Wolves know how to disable cars

I really want to visit a ghost town suddenly

Sounds influence peoples dreams, my other half had a nightmare about wolves attacking the house due to sleeping while I had the film on!

The timid and insecure Kyle (Levi Fiehler) has a crush on Jess (Alicia Ziegler) and he invites her to go to the Paradise ghost town as a pretext to be close to her. He brings his best friend Ben (Max Adler) with him, but Jess comes with her boyfriend Rob (Josh Kelly).

Kyle drives his convertible to the town and sooner Ben is deadly wounded by a ferocious pack of wolves. The trio of survivors is surrounded and trapped by the smart wolves and they have to be brave enough to face the animals.

"Wolf Town" is a lame and amateurish low budget movie with a terrible screenplay. The wolves are capable to trash the wires of a car to trap the driver and passengers in town; Rob succeeds to go to the barn during the night to get only one dynamite when there is a box of dynamites; Rob, Kyle and Jess escape from the wolves and do not bring a piece of wood or any weapon for self defense. However, the acting is decent, but the cast could not do any better with such poor script. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Terra dos Lobos" ("Wolves Land")
