Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Platypuschow Wolf Town is another one of those films that I spotted on Youtube and decided (Against my better judgement) to give a chance due to the impressive cover art.I had no idea what to expect and just assumed it would be another low budget horror mess so was pleasantly surprised by the quality.For a start the film looks great, the budget limitations are blatant but they get around that using solid camera work which disguises it brilliantly.The story is about a small town in the ol'wild west that discovers gold but mere months later they are all gone and it's become a ghost town. Cut forward to modern day and four 20 somethings visit and discover the horrifying secret behind the towns fate.This story was solid and the execution was highly original. The characters are hit and miss and are the biggest weakness by far, our "Hero" is a whiney little unlikeable idiot that it's very hard to get behind.If you can get past that we have a competently made, genuinely interesting horror/thriller that is well worth anyone's time.The Good: Looks great Fantastic story Budget limitations are very well hidden The Bad: Some weak characters Rushed ending Things I Learnt From This Movie: Wolves are just dogs Wolves know how to disable carsI really want to visit a ghost town suddenly Sounds influence peoples dreams, my other half had a nightmare about wolves attacking the house due to sleeping while I had the film on!
Claudio Carvalho The timid and insecure Kyle (Levi Fiehler) has a crush on Jess (Alicia Ziegler) and he invites her to go to the Paradise ghost town as a pretext to be close to her. He brings his best friend Ben (Max Adler) with him, but Jess comes with her boyfriend Rob (Josh Kelly). Kyle drives his convertible to the town and sooner Ben is deadly wounded by a ferocious pack of wolves. The trio of survivors is surrounded and trapped by the smart wolves and they have to be brave enough to face the animals."Wolf Town" is a lame and amateurish low budget movie with a terrible screenplay. The wolves are capable to trash the wires of a car to trap the driver and passengers in town; Rob succeeds to go to the barn during the night to get only one dynamite when there is a box of dynamites; Rob, Kyle and Jess escape from the wolves and do not bring a piece of wood or any weapon for self defense. However, the acting is decent, but the cast could not do any better with such poor script. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Terra dos Lobos" ("Wolves Land")
humodda Well, this movie does not offer any groundbreaking new story to the genre but it's worth to be seen.You just should watch it with the right expectations. It's not a Spielberg Blockbuster but it also does not pretend to be.What you will get is a nice claustrophobic wolf horror feature and people who are afraid of these animals will get scared by all means. The plot is pretty simple and straight forward, but you're not going to watch that for the story anyways. It's all about the very well trained animals who are the true starring actors in this film. Sure, the young "human" actors do their job quite well also. You have the shy loser type, a sweet hottie, the sarcastic fatso and the sporty cool guy and that's all to be known about the main cast. And of course the wolf pack, featuring some pretty nice animal shots.If you're just looking for some fine animal horror title, playing with the basic fears of most people this might be the right kind of entertainment for you. I really enjoyed it!
rikverwaest Okay, recession hit everyone hard. So I'm not gonna blame the makers of "Wolf Town" for charging me 8 € for a movie that was produced for half that money. I can get past the fact that the entire "Wolf Town" was populated by a meager three wolves who kill by gnawing at life-sized dolls. Neither shall I complain that the special effects look like they were shoplifted from the local funstore (check out the red blubber that was plopped on Rob to pass for intestines). I'm not even gonna rant about the fact that they couldn't even be bothered to remove the wreckage of modern tractors from the scenery of a "ghost town from the 1800's". All those things require money, and it's blatantly clear that this cheap flick was made on a shoe-string budget.But there can be no excuse whatsoever for the extremely bland and dumb story. Creativity and imagination are free. A decent filmmaker can make a great movie on a nickel and dime. "Blair Witch Project", anyone? But no-one involved in the production "Wolf Town" shows a glimpse of such talent. Therefore this is doomed to be a poor man's movie with a poor man's script. There are plot holes the size of Europe. So we're supposed to believe the wolves managed to sabotage a car, steal their cellphones and catch up with the idea of dynamite? The director stops quite short of crediting them with setting up the town's website to lure edible tourists. Even more irritating is the utter standstill that the story creeps in after fifteen minutes. The main characters run from one deserted house to the other, where they start to bicker at each other. After a while the wolves are fed up with their nagging and jump through a window. That's the sign for our jolly bunch to run casually to another house. That process is actually repeated six to seven times, I kid you not. To top it off the end leaves us with a wacky eco-message when the wimpy kid starts to understand the "motive" of the wolves, who just want the strangers to leave their cozy town. Wolf-children of the Corn, ay? A final warning: those like me who love a good killer animal-flick and let themselves be fooled by the cover will find themselves howling at the moon in utter frustration.
