Wuchak RELEASED TO TV in 2014 and directed by Eric Red, "Night of the Wild" chronicles events in a small American town after a meteorite shower causes canines to go crazy. Rob Morrow, Kelly Rutherford, Tristin Mays & Carmen Tonry play the family trying to escape the carnage.The extremely low-rated reviews are inaccurate and are obviously knee-jerk reactions to this being an Asylum movie. While Asylum movies CAN suck, this one is pretty good for what it is, a made-for-TV creatures-run-amok flick. Actually, "Night of the Wild" is relentless almost from the get-go with the various canine attacks, the final act going into overdrive. It could even be argued that the horror is so unremitting that the movie is one-dimensional. For the most part, the dogs are real canines and the movie commendably depicts them in a convincingly ferocious manner, which is reminiscent of 1981's "Wolfen." They coulda done better with the women, however. Yet Mays is pretty stunning in a semi-exotic way and Mary Katherine O'Donnell is quite fetching, although the latter doesn't last long. The score is actually quite moving.The only reason I'm NOT giving this a more recommendable rating is because of the dumb things people do during the attacks, the precise opposite of what they should do. For instance, two people leave the sure shelter of the second story room of a house to go back outside where dogs are on the prowl practically everywhere. Or when two people hide under a truck, like the dogs wouldn't be able to perceive them or get to them (rolling my eyes). Also a certain person is seriously attacked in two episodes, but escapes pretty much unscathed. If you can handle these kinds of plot flaws "Night of the Wild" delivers for what it is, a Grade B nature-runs-amok flick.THE FILM RUNS 89 minutes and was shot in Slidell & New Orleans, Louisiana, with establishing shots in presumably California.

ronaldt49 Did any of the good citizens see the cats high up in the trees? Generally dogs don't climb trees. Cats do. These cats had enough sense to get as high above the ground as possible! If I look up and see hundreds of cats in a local tree they'll soon have company. ME!! And no entry here has mentioned the cats!

Pumpkin_Man I rented this last night, and thought it was actually pretty funny. The characters were pretty dumb, you can see that the actors are wearing those dog bite sleeves. They have dogs with blood everywhere trying to sound vicious with growling noises played throughout, but they look cute and like they're playing around. The story is like something out of an old 80's horror movie; a meteor lands in a small town, breaking into several parts. The pieces give off a green glow and loud screeching sound, making all the dogs in town attack and kill anyone human. One family tries to survive the carnage and make it out alive. If you love bad cheesy movies and dogs, you might enjoy NIGHT OF THE WILD!!!

Flow The idea is very Stephen King like, it could work for a no brainer, but the execution, it goes beyond that horrible limit, and just like in Even Horizon, it comes back with all that badness it saw there. You will see people getting killed by small dogs, you will also see main actors escaping 3 big dogs even after they were put to the ground, you will see characters so connected to their dogs that they will embrace death instead of getting some distance, and you will see some of the better animal attacks on film. In all fairness, The breed or The pack showed little dog attacks, these one using some CGI from time to time, does provide a better view.The movie has a couple of good old school actors, the main one does her job lovely, and keeping in mind that it is a syfy channel production, I think it got the most of its idea.I think it's a fair 4 stars, considering all that I mentioned. Seems about right.Cheers!
