Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Claudio Carvalho In Glasgow, the teenager single mother Kelly Ann (Samantha Shields) is forced by Father Steven "Steve" Gillis (Peter Capaldi) to deliver her baby boy for adoption. Six weeks later, Father Steve organizes a hike in the countryside with the youths David (Kevin Quinn), Louise (Nicola Muldoon), Mark (Jamie Quinn) and Kelly Ann and leaves them alone in the Scottish Highlands. He shows the meeting point in the map and tells that he would wait for them in an inn on the next day. Out of the blue, Kelly Ann's ex-boyfriend Lee (Martin Compston) joins the group invited by David. While hiking, the group stumbles with a weird shepherd (Alan McHugh) and later Lee puts the man on the run. During the night, Kelly Ann overhears the cry of a baby and she goes with Lee to a derelict old castle where they find an abandoned baby in the middle of dead bodies. Soon the group is hunted down by a deadly wolf-like creature and has to decide whether they hide or fight to survive."Wild Country" is a reasonable slow-paced horror movie with an awful and senseless plot point in the very end. The acting is decent and the Brazilian DVD has subtitles; otherwise it would be very difficult to understand many dialogs. The beast is not a werewolf and is not developed; therefore the viewer never knows what the beast is. Further, how a creature kills so many people without any investigation from the local authorities. The special effects and the cinematography are very poor. As usual in slash movies, there are stupid attitudes: Lee leaves the safety of the tree to be murdered by the creature and the farmer on the motorized tricycle does not listen to Kelly Ann and decides to check what is happening. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Campo Selvagem" ("Wild Country")
red_robin19 OK. I'm going to be a little bias here as Samantha Shields is actually a good friend of mine and i act with her quite often, but nonetheless i actually did enjoy the film! OK, so i've seen scarier horror's in my time and ...maybe i laughed a little at the special effects on this one, but with such a low budget they done OK.As for the acting, well...iv'e only ever acted with Sami on stage before and so it's all been a little over the top as stage performances usually are, so to see Sami being so natural was amazing! the girl definitely has a natural talent for natural acting! She definitely has a bright future ahead of her! take me with you Sami!!
Chris I am slightly biased in non-favor of this movie having actually seen it. Though it shows potential to have something vaguely resembling a plot, in the end, the viewer is left wondering whether or not the movie has actually started. Time was not an issue for lacking plot. Running at only 72 minutes, there was more than enough time to actually explain SOMETHING. Please explain something. That is why you make movies. The main character, Kelly Ann, could have been played by anyone with a Scotish accent and legs capable of running through random fields in Scotland for extended periods of time. Lee could be played by any semi- to moderately-attractive young male with a Scotish accent as well. Only running in his case was not a requirement. Much of this movie took place during the day time, which made the "wolf" one of the greatest comedic characters I have ever witnessed. And when I say "wolf" what I am trying to say is a half-boar, half mad cow fetus half-breed of UK craziness. (See 'Isolation' for reference and if you want to see a decent horror film from the UK.)
joan-114 I am slightly biased in favour of this film, since part of it was shot at my farm. Having seen "Wild Country" from its very rough stage through to the final screening, I am very impressed, especially with the special effects, which were extremely well done, and with the quality portrayals by Martin Compston, Samantha Shields, Peter Capaldi and Karen Fraser. Even knowing the plot, I still held my breath at some scenes. The young actors put on very polished performances and Craig Strachan was a considerate but professional producer for such a cast. Scottish films are few and far between and this is a must see for Scots horror fans.
