Claudio Carvalho In Glasgow, the teenager single mother Kelly Ann (Samantha Shields) is forced by Father Steven "Steve" Gillis (Peter Capaldi) to deliver her baby boy for adoption. Six weeks later, Father Steve organizes a hike in the countryside with the youths David (Kevin Quinn), Louise (Nicola Muldoon), Mark (Jamie Quinn) and Kelly Ann and leaves them alone in the Scottish Highlands. He shows the meeting point in the map and tells that he would wait for them in an inn on the next day. Out of the blue, Kelly Ann's ex-boyfriend Lee (Martin Compston) joins the group invited by David. While hiking, the group stumbles with a weird shepherd (Alan McHugh) and later Lee puts the man on the run. During the night, Kelly Ann overhears the cry of a baby and she goes with Lee to a derelict old castle where they find an abandoned baby in the middle of dead bodies. Soon the group is hunted down by a deadly wolf-like creature and has to decide whether they hide or fight to survive."Wild Country" is a reasonable slow-paced horror movie with an awful and senseless plot point in the very end. The acting is decent and the Brazilian DVD has subtitles; otherwise it would be very difficult to understand many dialogs. The beast is not a werewolf and is not developed; therefore the viewer never knows what the beast is. Further, how a creature kills so many people without any investigation from the local authorities. The special effects and the cinematography are very poor. As usual in slash movies, there are stupid attitudes: Lee leaves the safety of the tree to be murdered by the creature and the farmer on the motorized tricycle does not listen to Kelly Ann and decides to check what is happening. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Campo Selvagem" ("Wild Country")

moray-jones I really enjoyed this. Thought the actors were very naturalistic and pulled off their roles very well. This meant I stuck with the film to the end because I wanted to know the outcome. There were bad points - SFX should have been concealed by the dark more and it was too formulaic. Bold effort though and I expected to see a higher average, but there is some cheapness to be looked through. But in its own right, I was happy to watch and didn't find any slack. The actual horror was low because of this, but the tension was there. I've scored it high because I enjoyed it and wanted to see the end, whereas many glossier films I find myself just hoping that they will end.

videozombi Despite reading a few negative reviews on this movie I thought I'd give it a go tonight and I'm very glad I did. The only thing about this film that strikes me as a little off is that the werewolves look very different from anything I've seen before. Maybe even a little cheesy. However the acting, camera work, the story and the way the movie is put together all make up for it. The ending of the movie is perhaps the best part and for me a good ending makes or breaks a movie. I won't go into detail so as not to spoil the end of the film, but suffice it to say there is quite a twist and it did not end the way I was expecting at all.The special effects are a little lacking at first but they greatly improve toward the end. One scene in which a werewolf virtually bites a man in half is especially well done and makes up for the lack of gore earlier in the movie. All in all the effects, perhaps (though I hesitate to say it) with the exception of the wolves are very well done. I hesitate because I'm still not sure if I liked the wolves or not, it was refreshing to see something different but at the same time as I said earlier, they seemed a bit cheesy. I'll likely watch the movie again soon and I think watching a second time around I'll probably decide I like the wolves and they aren't cheesy at all. The film is loaded with the type of dialog and wit you would expect in a film from the UK and it all comes off very well. There are some tense moments and a lot of wondering what will happen next, I don't think it's truly scary but I do think it's a great werewolf movie. If your a fan of European horror you will definitely get into this movie and love every minute of it. It's movies like this that make me glad I root to dig up things that are out of the ordinary because even though a lot of the time you get disappointed, more often then not you come out of it smiling.

jamie-500 I think Wild Country is a good film. It has something for everybody, it's comical in places, scary in others, it also has a touch of social realism and a little bit of a romantic story underlying. If you appreciate hard working film makers you will appreciate this. The acting is natural and very convincing. I like the way it's lit, it makes it more scary for it to be that dark because that is how dark it is in Scotland at night in the winter.It's how realistic they made it that works for me, the actors act the way any normal teenager would act when faced with a beast in the out in the middle of nowhere. it's shot documentary style, with a "blair witch" feel at places.I think the film makers did a good job and i hope the film does well so that more Scottish films can be made!!!
