13Hrs/Wolf Night – TRASH IT ( C- ) 13Hrs is one of the trashy indie horror movies we see from time to time. The story revolves around a girl who returns home after years to meet her family. She meets her half siblings and their friends, who are drinking in the barn. Suddenly they realize that there is something really strange roaming around the bran and their house. From there the hide and seek for their life starts. The story is acceptable but it's the presentation that bothered me. Low budget is understandable but bad lighting is not. It was sometimes really hard to even understand what exactly is going on in most of the gruesome scenes. The only thing nice in the movie is the friction between friends and siblings. Joshua Bowman (Reason I saw this movie), Gemma Atkinson, Isabella Calthrope, Peter Gadiot and Gabriel Thomson were good in their respective parts. Drunken Tom Felton is not a good thing to look at, he was over the top and not good at faking it. Overall, Trash it, the family mystery in it is not worth wasting time.

After reading one of the reviews, I was tempted not to watch the movie. I'm glad I watched it (okay I did it mainly because of Gemma Atkinson).The movie is not that bad. I do not agree with what the last user review says : the actors were acceptable, and despite a few bad choices during the movie, I was never bored. The special effects are really poor during the movie, except at the end where it is acceptable.Despite what was said in the last user review, the director gave us hints about a few things during the movie, you just have to pay attention ! I think the story in itself is quite common, and at the beginning you can easily guess who will survive and a few other things, but then again, the movie was not that bad !

This movie is not the greatest as you would guess with not a very good cast nor an original story line. To start with the acting. The actors performances were all average apart from Isabella Calthorpe's, her acting was awful. Directing was average, nothing special. The film starts of with Sarah Tyler coming back to England from the United States after a long time. We find out about each of the characters personalities and their previous relationships before Sarah left for USA.Then the action starts with the creature appearing and the family trying to survive. Trying alternate solutions to find an escape or protect themselves from the creature. The ending was surprising. It could have been better. No explanation was given on why such events happened which was frustrating and made things seem pointless and too simple. Pretty gross scenes with gore. Stupid decisions and bad storyline. Maybe you can have a laugh with friends while watching this but I don't think it's much more than that.

If you think you are settling in for a gory well thought out horror film, you should know a few things. There are many things that make no sense & are unrealistic. It started well, the production value was high and all of the acting was on point. That being said, when the "creature" appears and attacks the whole thing gets a bit wobbly, as in why couldn't it do this or why didn't it just do that. This took away from it's validity for me. Also there are a number of slayings done off camera which took away from the horror aspect some, leaving little gore. They also left the vision of the beast up to the viewer, showing it only in quick blurs. Whenever we were given the beasts point of view it relied on the old everything is red scheme. There is some character development for the main lead girl and it didn't really go into much of the boys past, mostly they have all been stuck in the country manner in England while the girl(Gemma Atkinson) went off to the US for 8 months & there was some displeasure due to the fact that she never called or wrote not even to her best friend. Of course this all started happening not much more than an hour of her being back home so it doesn't have time for their backgrounds to add up to much. There is a very well planned twist to everything at the end so don't go away till the credits role or you run the risk of missing the brief voice over at the very end. Lastly I must mention the problem of the remaining eyebrows, once you have seen it you should know what I mean. It was still entertaining for me in spite of the weak bits, I would recommend it to any creature/horror genre fan, it's a good time killer. I'll give it a 5.0
