Out Come the Wolves

This movie has a slow start, 'as in watching a snail move from one spot & not having the patience to see its final destination..., so I had to fast forward>> (simply to see if this was a waste of time), obviously 'never a good sign'.

The cinematography is excellent, unfortunately the characters become increasingly annoying, and 'wilfully stupid'!, though, that's down to the story line/script, writer could have done better, however the acting is pretty good... Wolf scenes and effects are good too...

most reviews have given a rating of 3 or 4 out of 10.

That is apart from one inexplicably review rating of 10 on 10!

...Honestly seems as though we watched different movies! Or the reviewer was having a happy joyous moment!

Sophie (Missy Peregrym) joins her childhood friend Kyle (Joris Jarsky) for a hunting trip. There is real chemistry between them. He even reminds her that she once promised to marry him when they turn 40 if they have no one else. Of course, she brings her boyfriend Nolan (Damon Runyan) although he is a completely clueless hunter unlike the two longtime friends. They are put to the test when they are attacked by a pack of wolves.

This is a lower grade indie. It could have elevated the tension much more. Basically, it needs to isolate the trio by sending them into the woods. Maybe their vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere. They are tracked by the wolf pack. They definitely should not have guns. The wolves should do more night attacks. Everything should be done to make the trio into underdogs and heighten the intensity.

Horrible characters that you really want to see die soon after you meet them. Very unrealistic wolf like behavior. The gore is decent, but the main characters are so horrible it ruins the experience. They're all very conceited and dumb; in their actions, their conversations and their attitude. Are we supposed to be cheering for the wolves?

This is much worse than The Grey, but at least that had Liam Nelson in it and the wolves were intimidating from a fantasy monster perspective. This movie tries to portray the wolves in a more realistic nature, but whoever wrote this couldn't even be bothered to Google wolf behavior.

Save your time, watch something better than this cheap attempt at forest fear.

This movie was much better in 2015. Same actress, same plot, basically. But a much better version. It's called back country, I'll never understand why she would make the same movie a decade later. Just stupid decision making skills. She's best suited for crappy TV cop dramas I guess. So yeah don't waste your time. Watch backcountry.

Missy Peregrym needs to stay out of the woods. Teaming up with the director of Back Country, she experiences another wilderness based fight for survival.

Introducing her new fiancee to her oldest best friend (who is male), the film starts with the two men preparing to go hunting as the fiancee is a writer and editor planning a story about the hunt and kill to provide meat as food. Here we gain a look at the discrepancies in personality of two people raised in wilderness and the hunting culture, and one raised in the city scape.

Now, for the problematic parts. The trio of characters come with some baggage that is unresolved. Jealousy makes for a poor plot contrivance. The director made a similar mistake is his film Back Country as well. And that's too bad as this interferes with what could have been a cleaner story.

Aside from that, this is a tight film with the second half a tense survival story.
