Night of the Wild

I'm actually an hour and fourteen minutes into this movie while writing this. A brief summary; a meteor lands in a small town turning all the dogs into crazed killers and the people into mindless idiots. This movie is not scary, only annoying. Horrible plot, horrible acting and horrible characters. I really don't care if any of these people survive. I'll watch it to the end only because it's been a long day and I'm too tired to care. But please don't make the same mistake I've made and stay far away from this one. Watch the Green Inferno instead, at least it had some laughs.

It mercifully just ended, one of the worst movies ever. Pray there will not be a sequel.

Usually I'm the one saying the movie wasn't nearly as bad as what the reviews are saying. I enjoy B movies but this? Low budget yes, definitely not entertaining just straight cringeworthy. I was aggravated from the beginning before the attacks began. The acting from 90% of the cast was horrible. The plot- there was no plot. No storyline no character development. I think it would have been better to have just filmed with no dialogue at all. I can't believe this made it to production.

Night of the Wild is a very bad movie. No actual plot, just a chance to have dogs attack & eat humans in a massive mess of craptastic gore & blood. This would be a bad movie if SyFy made it; that it was not makes this one truly unwatchable

After the seeing eye dog goes nuts he is in almost every attack scene. He is seen attacking people in the town, in the apple orchard, at the mom's house and back in the town. Look for the yellow lab with the harness. How that dog covered so much territory in one evening is amazing. And then, at 1:14 the mom and little girl take the neighbor's extended cab Ford Ranger and when they find dad and Roz they pull up in a single cab Chevrolet Silverado. Then as they all leave and are shown riding in the truck it is a single cab Ford F-150. As they pull into the airstrip and he "guns it" they are back in the extended cab Ford Ranger - then when they immediately stop they are back in the Chevy Silverado!

There are simply too many continuity errors to list here - those were the funniest ones to me.

As though being B-movie low budget horror isn't challenging enough, Night of the Wild opts for canine cast for its monstrosity. Animal use in cinema must be handled delicately, and it's certainly not a level of polish this movie has. Meanwhile, the on-screen characters are ridiculously superficial which makes the production seems more incapable of delivering any convincing scene either with beast or men.

A quiet small town is changed by a fallen meteor, now all the domesticated animals act strangely and violently. The least shallow human character is the main female Rosalyn (Tristin Mays), there's an effort to create backstory on this girl. She also performs well with the dog, but the silly script often relies on repetitive unimaginative running back and forth, thus making her like random sorority girl for most of the time.

The rest is a jumbled mess of shrieking and absolute abysmal acting. It's apparent that the scenes with dogs are pasted in without much consideration. This flaw especially rings true when they have to do a continuous scene. Characters would scream in terror, walk casually or initiates awkward conversations, then resumes the supposed extreme condition with misplaced calmness.

The poor editing even makes the scene disorientating as though they place the sequences incorrectly. People would fall over or get munched suddenly, then the blood would be on the wrong side, and there's a delay on their reaction. It's even worse when the said characters make such stupid decisions, there's not a hint of working common sense at play here, a remarkable example of poor acting combined with insipid script.

This is almost like watching a badly programmed AI in video game where they wander off into random places and mumble some poorly scripted line, oblivious on their impending doom. At half way through it becomes tedious run across mindless screaming and barking, with some blood sprinkled here and there.

Night of the Wild is a dull showing of laughable acting skill and unremarkable monster in dogs painted with fake blood, which disintegrates further into nonsensical noises and howls.
