hellholehorror It looked a bit inconsistent. Some killings were shot pretty badly. The landscapes looked amazing and some of the movement was divine. Mostly quite subtle sound design and lovely with some great music and surround/bass well used. I would watch this again but it was not what I was expecting. It did not have suspense or supernatural. It was like Eden Lake (2008) but nowhere near as harrowing. The girl from Sugar Rush was not right for this at all. Otherwise the acting was good. Overall too inconsistent to recommend.
Leofwine_draca Hot on the heels of the horror comedy SEVERANCE comes WILDERNESS, a similarly-themed low-budget British movie about a bunch of people on a remote Scottish island who are being picked off one by one by a camouflaged maniac. Bearing many similarities to DOG SOLDIERS in terms of dialogue, gore effects, and the always-welcome presence of Sean Pertwee, despite its predictability and lack of originality, WILDERNESS rocks! An engaging script, plenty of action, and some creepy isolated locales make this flick a winner, and it's also a genuinely exciting film with people fighting for their lives against an unknown oppressor.The movie benefits from the usual clichés that arise when people are stranded somewhere remote; it's all about group dynamics, and watching the characters fall apart or become leaders is always engaging. The acting from the young cast is surprisingly decent, with lots of stand out performances with Toby Kebbell's mad hero taking the honours. And, of course, with this being a modern horror film, it's very gory stuff despite a 15 certificate. Legs and heads are severed, there's a pack of vicious dogs that tear people to shreds (Sean Pertwee never has much luck, does he?) and things culminate with a nasty knife vs. axe fight which makes for really vicious viewing. Lean, pared down, and offering all the splattering you could ever want from an intense horror outing, WILDERNESS does just what it says on the tin – and for that it deserves top marks.
deatman9 This movie was not all bad but it really was not what I expected. I was hoping more for a lord of the flies/battle royal kind of feel to it and what I got was entirely different. The acting was good and there was some pretty intense moments though.This movie is about a group of boys in juvenile hall who tease another inmate until the point of suicide. So as the punishment the warden sends them off with a guard to live on an deserted island. As the boys are walking around they soon discover they are not alone.Overall it was not that bad of a movie I mean a lot of people seem to like it but it really didn't do it for me. I wish they had went another way with it and if they had I think it would have turned out much better.
dusan-22 Pretty good movie, slightly underrated here. I've seen much worse movies of that kind with a better rate on IMDb. Wilderness seems to be pretty well done regarding everything shown: solid plot, very tense, good acting and pretty good directing. As a matter a fact I can't find a major objection for this movie. Maybe the camera work could have been a little bit better regarding the surroundings. The island is a beautiful visual film material and its resources might have been used a little bit better in most of the scenes. However, everything else has capacity to nail you to the screen for most of the time. Could recommend the movie, it is pretty entertaining.
