The Wildman of Shaggy Creek

The storyline flowed smoothly and kept the whole family fully engaged from start to finish. The acting was terrific, especially from the predominantly young cast, who brought surprising depth to their roles. The film explored meaningful themes of family, friendship, and loyalty through a mix of thrilling adventures and genuinely funny moments that had everyone laughing. The musical score perfectly complemented each scene, enhancing the emotional impact throughout. The director skillfully built a strong connection between the characters and the audience early on in the film. I highly recommend this film as a heartfelt and exciting introduction to the thriller genre for all ages.

"The Wildman of Shaggy Creek" is the best children's fantasy movie I've seen in a long time. From the incredible directing, cinematography, and scoring, to the talented cast of kids, young adults, and industry professionals, this movie is bound to keep you engaged and entertained. The standout performances from the all kids are a major highlight. They move the story of the film from start to finish and keep the audience hanging on their every word with suspense, emotion, and humor. The entire cast displays great chemistry that is captured through the screen. The film is not only great for children but also adults as parents Charlotte (Allee Sutton-Hethcoat) and Charlie (Josh Futcher) showcase their incredible chemistry and acting abilities as they capture all the ups and downs of parenting young teens with exceptional emotion displayed by both in tense scenes as well as perfect comedic timing that create light-hearted scenes. The film is fast paced and never gets boring as characters like Scott (Hudson Hensley), Hailey (Ayla Bullington), Zach (Brycen Patterson), and others entrance the audience in a world of suspense, intrigue, fear, and comedy. The climax of the film is the best shot, acted, and written scene in any children's movie I've seen. The scene keeps the audience looming in fear and suspense, but without being too scary for the younger ones. The film is excellently crafted from start to finish and definitely a must watch for anyone looking for a heartwarming, scary, and entertaining film fun for the whole family!

This is a wonderful movie that teaches the values of friendship, family, and kindness. "The Wildman of Shaggy Creek" features two characters named Scott and Hailey who are best friends and resist the teasing of the bullies in their neighborhood. This displays multiple principles of friendship and how to be assertive and stand up for yourself and others. This movie keeps you on your toes as you never know what will come next. This movie will keep you entertained for the entirety of the playtime; moreover, the plot is so unique and unlike anything I've seen before. I believe this would be an amazing movie to snuggle up to with your family. Watching it with your family would provide so many key values. As you watch the movie; you get an inside scoop of the mother and the son's point of view of life. I think this is very important for families to realize that life is better when you're together. It also teaches lesson about kindness and not judging others by how they look. Overall, I absolutely LOVED this movie. Such a thriller!!

My 8 year old absolutely loved it and so did I! It's really fun for the whole family, sweet and pretty funny too. There's some heart felt moments between the Mom played Allee-Sutton Hethcoat (who was also in the directors other film, The Stolen Valley and she crushed it in that movie too) and her son, Scott that I thought were done so well. The other ensemble of kids in the movie were hilarious together and are so talented. I was afraid at first it might be too scary for my son, but that wasn't the case at all. It kept you on the edge of your seat at parts, but never went into scary territory. Highly recommend this indie gem, don't sleep on The Wildman!

From the acting to the editing to the set, the mics, the cameras, and lighting everything is so professional. Has a great story and message about family and bravery. Family friendly and enjoyable for all ages! The music keeps the audience on there feet and anticipating what's going to happen next. Such an entertaining and enjoyable movie, amazing amazing AMAZING! The writing and lines made my family and I laugh too! I left the theatre wanting more. The casting could not be more perfect and the acting from these young actors and the adult actors was just sooo good! Please make a sequel! This was such a good watch!
