This movie reminds me of night of the comet where this comet flies over the earth turning people into mindless zombies or turning them into red dust another scary movie is Halloween they could have ended night of the wild to where they found away to destroy the green meteorites this movie needs to have a proper ending try and remake this movie then it will get a better rating
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
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.
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.

The plot line, what little there is, could be a amalgamation of Cujo and any virus infected meteor flick you've seen.
The characters are flat and without personality, so much so that you really don't care who lives or dies and are hoping and praying that some of the more annoying ones die immediately after they are introduced. The introduction of many of them appears to be just so they aren't nameless individuals being attacked and killed.
Script dialogue is minimal, and appears only to be there so that there as a punctuation between the dog/wolf attack scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was written in a single lunch break.
I was actually going to stop watching until I noticed the incredibly large number of continuity errors and goofs, after which it then became a fun game of spot the mistake, in nearly every scene. If there was an award for continuity errors then this movie would be at the top and winning an Oscar.
This was less of a Movie and more a game of spot the error and goof.
