The Wildman of Shaggy Creek

We just attended the premiere and were so impressed with this film! It was the perfect amount of suspense but not too scary for my kiddos. I loved the variety of dynamics between characters they were able to portray. They showed so many different relationships and the struggles and joys of each. They showed friendships both new and old, bullying, sibling feuding, parenting doubts and struggles, and internal questioning and self reflection. The movie wasn't overly predictable and very engaging. Our whole family enjoyed the film, both suspenseful and tugs at your heart strings. I highly recommend and will be rewatching frequently!

This movie is visually Stunning in every way, demonstrating a clear and cohesive vision shared between Edwards and his crew, with shots that are made magical through lighting, and complimented through authentic and realistic set design, it all comes together to form a film that feels visually submersible and genuine in every way. Paring all of this with a truly moving and driving sound design, comedic writing executed by the fresh set of faces you get an incredibly enjoyable and WILDly entertaining film for movie lovers of all ages.

If you're looking for a movie with complexity, scares friendly for all ages, and comedic relief that'll put a stitch in your side, The Wildman Of Shaggy Creek is sure to fulfill all your wishes.

I got to see a preview of this movie last week and LOVED it. The acting was incredible, the storyline, based on the book by R. H. Grimley, was suspenseful but very family friendly. There were some jump scares, but nothing too intense. The cinematography was vivid and realistic. Think Goosebumps, but a little less scary . It kept me guessing until the end.

This was all of the child actors first time on the big screen and you could not tell. Ayla Bullington as Hailey, was a standout to me, she is going to be a star!

Jesse Edwards is an upcoming producer that everyone should keep their eyes on.

Can't wait to see what comes next for this talented cast and crew!

Phenomenal storyline and top notch acting. The story is brought to life by talented actors and great direction - a must watch for the whole family! Wildman offers excitement, laughter, and a great "moral of the story"! The musical score is great as well. It's refreshing to have a movie that everyone can enjoy together, which seems fewer and far between these days! The script was perfectly written and executed in the same way!

I can't say enough about Scott (Hudson) and Hailey (Ayla) - what a great breakout role for them both! They appear as if they are seasoned actors and I can't wait to see them in other films.

The Wildman of Shaggy Creek is one of the best family films I've seen! There is something for everyone. A heartwarming family dynamic of navigating balance between a parent's career and a child's coming of age with challenges of living in a new location and making new friends.

The cast were all amazing! From the bravery of a young boy, Scott, played by Hudson Hensley, and a kind and quick witted young girl, Hayley, played by Ayla Bullington, to the humerous bully, Zach, played by Brycen Patterson, with his mischievous ways, taunting, and his comedic performance that illustrates his fear of losing his alpha status by a new kid on the block!

This movie is full of laughter, love, a few jump scares and just enough fear to create suspense without being too frightening!

I would give this movie a 10 out of 10 and recommend it for the whole family to see of all ages!!
