Night of the Wild (2015)

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One of the main characters is named "Rosalyn". We get it - Rob Morrow was in Northern Exposure.How did they get Rob Morrow & Kelly Rutherford in this cheap flick? Decent quality b flick (on Netflix) if yer bored.Same cheap toy shotgun in every scene requiring a gun. Some poorly directed WTF scenes...when the blind guy is hit by the car, the crowd gathers around him, but no one around the car that hit him? JV movie making. When Rosalyn is driving the pickup, they do a bad job of faking her driving.Pretty good job of faking dog/human fights.Always enjoy videos with dogs so glad i watched it.

I'm actually an hour and fourteen minutes into this movie while writing this. A brief summary; a meteor lands in a small town turning all the dogs into crazed killers and the people into mindless idiots. This movie is not scary, only annoying. Horrible plot, horrible acting and horrible characters. I really don't care if any of these people survive. I'll watch it to the end only because it's been a long day and I'm too tired to care. But please don't make the same mistake I've made and stay far away from this one. Watch the Green Inferno instead, at least it had some laughs.It mercifully just ended, one of the worst movies ever. Pray there will not be a sequel.

As though being B-movie low budget horror isn't challenging enough, Night of the Wild opts for canine cast for its monstrosity. Animal use in cinema must be handled delicately, and it's certainly not a level of polish this movie has. Meanwhile, the on-screen characters are ridiculously superficial which makes the production seems more incapable of delivering any convincing scene either with beast or men.A quiet small town is changed by a fallen meteor, now all the domesticated animals act strangely and violently. The least shallow human character is the main female Rosalyn (Tristin Mays), there's an effort to create backstory on this girl. She also performs well with the dog, but the silly script often relies on repetitive unimaginative running back and forth, thus making her like random sorority girl for most of the time.The rest is a jumbled mess of shrieking and absolute abysmal acting. It's apparent that the scenes with dogs are pasted in without much consideration. This flaw especially rings true when they have to do a continuous scene. Characters would scream in terror, walk casually or initiates awkward conversations, then resumes the supposed extreme condition with misplaced calmness.The poor editing even makes the scene disorientating as though they place the sequences incorrectly. People would fall over or get munched suddenly, then the blood would be on the wrong side, and there's a delay on their reaction. It's even worse when the said characters make such stupid decisions, there's not a hint of working common sense at play here, a remarkable example of poor acting combined with insipid script.This is almost like watching a badly programmed AI in video game where they wander off into random places and mumble some poorly scripted line, oblivious on their impending doom. At half way through it becomes tedious run across mindless screaming and barking, with some blood sprinkled here and there.Night of the Wild is a dull showing of laughable acting skill and unremarkable monster in dogs painted with fake blood, which disintegrates further into nonsensical noises and howls.

After a meteorite lands in their town, a group of residents finds that the action is causing the local dogs to turn into vicious, man-eating killers and must find a way of containing their viciousness before more in town are killed.Overall this one was quite the enjoyable offering. This one manages to get a lot right here when it comes to detailing the fine action on display, as this one really manages to get a lot of fun with the dogs here appearing quite often to good effect. The opening attack in the town is fun enough, as the sight of the dogs suddenly turning vicious and turning on their owners is quite fun but then it becomes about the chaos and panic they cause on the streets as the everyday life is completely shattered here with the dogs bringing about the fun swarming sequences and how they manage to take down the different groups throughout here which is what makes this so much fun as there's a lot to like here. Even the home attacks are generally a lot of fun with the dogs taking their owners out in suburbia, but the true fun is in the two biggest attacks here in the action-packed stalking in the woods and the later attack on the apple-farm where each one manages to get a lot out of them. The woodland attack starts off nicely with the ambush on the friend and the resulting brawl to save her, which turns into a thrilling need to escape the area before they get overrun as the howling off in the distance continually closes in on them and finally gets to the rather fun time of the hideout in the abandoned truck which brings about a rather thrilling ploy trying to keep herself safe from the dog attempting to get in, while the apple-farm is more about the overwhelming number of dogs running through the area and getting to attack as one massive horde in the scene as the chaos and panic adds to the action. As well, other big action scenes in the final half is quite fun as the rescue attempt from the house and the subsequent race to get away from town generates some fun, while also managing to bring up the first of several minor flaws that hold this one down. The main thing against this is certainly the utter stupidity displayed throughout here which manages to continue putting people in danger more often than saving them, especially from the younger daughter who actively ignores not only her mother screaming at her to get to safety and numerous encounters on her own but even news-reports on TV urging residents away from the dogs in order to check on her puppy which continues forces her mother into danger to save her while almost everyone else here commits something similar continuously throughout here. The last flaw here is the rather bland CGI, which is to be expected here since while this one does some good with the use of realistic dogs but the lame CGI for the meteorites and the wounds looks bad and plainly obvious from time-to- time. Otherwise this one here wasn't all that bad.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language, children-in-jeopardy and violence-against-animals.
