Wolf Town

Well as we get more advanced in CGI and other effects one would think that films would get better and more so typical predictable American films, Here we have Yet again a group of young adults find themselves looking for gold in an old American town they are all more or less models again as is the norm in American films?? no one seems to be ugly these days?, there is a mine there and they discover an old book from the residents that lived there many years ago, The town is deserted and this book explains why, i wont spoil the plot but its weak and as normal the people in the movie (x3 men x1 woman) all have to fight for their lives, there is NO special affects hardly any gore the plot is weak and its the kinda films where the girl is the spice of the film the men all want her and are been flirtatious with her, i reckon if you watched the first 5 minutes then skipped to the last 5 of the film you would be able to put together the complete story! if i was too of bought this on DVD or gone to the Cinema i would ask for my money back! I would like to of seen some even a sniff of originality on the film it did have potential to be a better film but lets be honest a film about wolfs is hardly head behind pillow is it, the camera work was pretty good and the sound was good too, i just wasn't convinced by the actors and the acting, there is a scene where one of the wolfs gets a licking off a chair leg by one of the guys AWEFULL realism! anyway i skipped more a less all over the film it was just so bland i reminded myself i need to decorate my house cause i spent more time looking around my room due to been so bored!

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.

Just watched this movie on Tubi. While DOGs in the movie were cute they were NOT wolves. They were Malamutes. How dare they assume that wolves would do this to human beings. They are NOT blood thirsty like hollywood wants us to believe. Yes they do hunt in packs, but they are more afraid of humans than we are of them. They are NOT methodical to even have the mindset of doing anything that resembled the calculation in their minds that hollywood would have us believe. This movie was a waste of money, waste of space in the lives of those of us that watched it and waste of time for the actors that played in it. This kind of crap is why they are destroying the lives of wolves everywhere and why there are evil subhumans everywhere.

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.

Okay, recession hit everyone hard. So I'm not gonna blame the makers of "Wolf Town" for charging me 8 € for a movie that was produced for half that money. I can get past the fact that the entire "Wolf Town" was populated by a meager three wolves who kill by gnawing at life-sized dolls. Neither shall I complain that the special effects look like they were shoplifted from the local funstore (check out the red blubber that was plopped on Rob to pass for intestines). I'm not even gonna rant about the fact that they couldn't even be bothered to remove the wreckage of modern tractors from the scenery of a "ghost town from the 1800's". All those things require money, and it's blatantly clear that this cheap flick was made on a shoe-string budget.

But there can be no excuse whatsoever for the extremely bland and dumb story. Creativity and imagination are free. A decent filmmaker can make a great movie on a nickel and dime. "Blair Witch Project", anyone? But no-one involved in the production "Wolf Town" shows a glimpse of such talent. Therefore this is doomed to be a poor man's movie with a poor man's script. There are plot holes the size of Europe. So we're supposed to believe the wolves managed to sabotage a car, steal their cellphones and catch up with the idea of dynamite? The director stops quite short of crediting them with setting up the town's website to lure edible tourists. Even more irritating is the utter standstill that the story creeps in after fifteen minutes. The main characters run from one deserted house to the other, where they start to bicker at each other. After a while the wolves are fed up with their nagging and jump through a window. That's the sign for our jolly bunch to run casually to another house. That process is actually repeated six to seven times, I kid you not. To top it off the end leaves us with a wacky eco-message when the wimpy kid starts to understand the "motive" of the wolves, who just want the strangers to leave their cozy town. Wolf-children of the Corn, ay?

A final warning: those like me who love a good killer animal-flick and let themselves be fooled by the cover will find themselves howling at the moon in utter frustration.
