Review of Wild Country (2005) by Christopher B — 07 Feb 2008

Now here's what you can call an old school horror film, because it truly is shocking that this wasn't made in the eighties. Still, hats off to the filmmakers for keeping the werewolf on screen, even though it clearly looked like it had just been hanging up in a prop shop.

Plus, the script felt like it was written by people roughly the same age (maybe a little younger) as the kids who starred in it. It had cliches and lines that may have been a little newer in the eighties.

One thing that I thought was neat was how a priest was portrayed as a fairly good person, well for a little while anyway before he's portrayed as scum of the earth. Boy do people hate religion, it's almost getting to the point where it's a form of hate speak.

I'm always shocked when members of the church aren't portrayed as hypocrites, pedophiles, violent, cowardly, and worse sinners than murderers. Soon actors will be throwing on those white collars and performing "Mammy" up on stage.
