julian kennedy Night of the Wild. 8 out of 10. Asylum films get a bad rap. Quite correctly in many cases. But what is up with the hate for this film? I mean really what more could you want from a nature goes wild movie? It has decent practical effects, I've seen worse CGI effects, none of the acting is visibly risible, and the action doesn't let up. Giant green meteors land in a rural California village or perhaps the Hamptons with mountains it wasn't all that clear. This causes all the dogs to go crazy apparently through meteor sound if the one deaf dog is to be believed. This makes zero sense. The fact that the characters don't notice the giant green glowing things is a running bizarre zero sense thing throughout the movie as well. In fairness to the characters, I am pretty sure the meteors were not actually there when filming but were added in post-production with The Asylum's magical Commodore 64.I recently viewed the similar themed The Pack. The Pack is on the surface a much better film. It has better cinematography, scarier looking dogs, an actual plot and most importantly it stars ridiculously attractive Anna Lise Phillips. Night of the Wild has Housewives star, Jill Zarin. (Who in all fairness isn't all that bad in a limited role as a chew toy). But the Pack has fewer cast members than Night of the Wild has kills in the first ten minutes. Night of the Wild knows why we watch a nature gone wild movie. It isn't for story and pacing and a rumination on the struggles of rural America.Night of the Wild is a fun movie that knows it is fun and simply goes about its business. It isn't obnoxiously self-referential and it is completely lensed with a surprisingly good pace. Well worth the watch.

cmv32261 1st of all let me say that anyone who did rate the movie higher than a 1 is a complete idiot.In my opinion if it were possible to rate a movie plot lower than a 1 this 1 would have received a decimal point followed by Googolplex zeros.It should be a crime punishable by death to write scripts as bad as the movie Screen Writers for SyFy any/all Screen Writers that compose such garbage should forfeit their lives.Everything to define what cinemagraphic garbage this movie is has already been stated.

quincytheodore 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.

GL84 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.
