Night of the Wild

Short review:Not recommended unless you don't care about the plot/story and just want to see lots of people getting mauled to death by dogs afflicted with meteorite-induced bloodlust.Longer review:The premise for this movie is simple enough. Meteorites smash to Earth and make the canine population overly aggressive and murderous. Apparently, the meteorites also make the human population more stupid because they continually put themselves in danger, but more on that later. It isn't ever explained why only canines are affected and why there is at least one dog that isn't attacking humans indiscriminately, but I'm assuming the storyline wasn't the point here and making a nature-goes-crazy movie was. What ensues is what you'd expect though. They start attacking humans (and cows, from what I could tell, but it isn't ever shown, rather strongly insinuated) and it's carnage. Yeah, we've seen it before and I'm not against recycled themes/plots. Still, this is not good.A positive was that the acting ranged from average to bad, but overall, was OK for the most part and what you'd expect from a B-movie. Nothing wrong with the camera work, although I did have an issue with the use of slo-mo at certain scenes as it was unnecessary. The movie has continuous action, so if you don't want a believable plot and zero common sense and just want to watch people being mauled to death by dogs, then this might be for you. They at least did set up the main male protagonist with the background necessary to employ the method of escape from the town, so that was believable. Also, kudos to the individuals who trained the dogs for this movie.WARNING SPOILER ALERTS:Now for the bad. You have friggin' meteorites crash in your town. They are scattered and highly visible in broad daylight and even more so at night. These are GLOWING GREEN fragments of an asteroid just laying around in places such as people's backyards, an apple orchard, a farm...you know, locations where people live and work and therefore, are bound to see them, right? Nope! Wrong! Not a single person ever says, "Hey, that wasn't here before! How did that get here? What is it?" In fact, no one even mentions them, except for at the beginning where a duo of hunters sees them fall from the sky and then again in some lame news report. I mean, it's like they CGI'd these items in post-production and forgot to write a scene where at least one of the actors interacts with them post-falling from the sky. And how meteorites that large crashed to earth without leaving any sort of noticeable impact on the surrounding area is beyond me, but I guess there's no need for details when you're making this kind of movie!I won't go through everything I found ridiculous/silly/logic-defying, but some of the items that really stood out are:+when people are in safe places, they will inevitably leave the said location for no reason at all to get killed. This was a constantly recurring theme that got old, very fast.+people know something is wrong with the dogs, but don't take any precautions at all+the use of slo-mo was hella annoying and unnecessary+ if you are a main character, you will not be killed if attacked by dogs. At most, you will suffer nonlife-threatening cuts and scratches inversely proportional to the duration of the attack and # of dogs involved+expendable characters will get their faces eaten off by the smallest of pooches+perfectly intact baseball bats are always in abandoned vehicles so you can defend yourself+except for one character, no one thought to call the police or even animal control+when supposed best friends die, their passing isn't ever mentioned or all that serious+hiding under vehicles makes you invisible to attacking dogs. Who knew!+man steals girl's truck to get away from the dogs, but doesn't think to roll up the window+man shoots a single bullet at a car and it explodes into flames (OK, this was actually a lol moment for me because it was so ridiculous)+ dog commits suicide by jumping at the spinning propeller of the crop duster (another lol moment)+CGI dogs...think Syfy movie grade CGI. Thankfully its use is minor.Some particularly ludicrous moments:The entire scene with the mother and her daughter escaping from the dogs at the house. How were they BOTH not dead after all of that??When the dad is pinned between the two cars, the others attempt to physically push the car so that he can squeeze out. No one thought, "Hey, let me try to put it in reverse or at least neutral." And how the father had not a single injury, not even a bruise or a limp after that, is beyond me. The people who did that scene have obviously never seen a person get hit by a car in real life. I sadly have and it's brutal, even at low speeds. Just a completely unbelievable scene.I 100 percent anticipated the ending since there wasn't much plot. As such, there shouldn't be a sequel, which we can rejoice over! :DDespite the amount of action, it took me 3 days to finish this movie. Yes, three days; it was that silly and at times, just annoying to watch. But it wouldn't be fair to leave a review if I didn't view it in its entirety.That said, not recommended.

Who are the zombies who gave this crap movie a 5 star ! they have lost their tiny little brains haha lol, cheesy acting to say the least , blonde lady gets bitten like 25 times and yet she is ok and jumping out of 20ft high windows ..little girl is never concerned about her Mom she keeps saying mommy lets get the puppies after the Mom has been attacked by 5 dogs and mauled supposedly to death then she remarkably gets up and starts running again .. this is when I turned this pathetic 1 star pos movie off , dont watch save yourself the bother .

What's wrong?I don't know. But my dog has become aggressive.What's happening here?I don't know, but my dog is attacking people.Where is so and so?I don't know. But he was attacked by dogs. I think he's dead.What's wrong?He's dead. His tiny dog attacked him and ate his face off. And both of my girlfriends are dead now, too.And so on..............High point: feisty step mother, step daughter and dad survive all dog attacks while everyone is slaughtered by the dogs.

Hello my movie buff friends out there! This is the stickdoc here and I've got to tell you that this is the best horror movie that I've seen in decades. It's about a strange meteor shower which occurs right out of the blue. After this event happens, every dog in that town goes bezerk. They start attacking the townspeople. I like it most because it stars the beautiful Kelly Rutherford from "The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr." tv series if you've ever seen this. Plus the ending is very weird. You'll have to see it to believe it. Kelly plays an awesome part in this movie. This movie reminds me of "The Long Dark Night a.k.a. The Pack" with Joe Don Baker back in the good old days when horror movie were scary instead of funny. So my friends, see this movie! It's a roller coaster ride from start to finish. If you love horror movies as I do it will keep you on the edge of your seat and it will scare the devil out of you I promise! Take it from me!!!

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.

L'idea è interessante ma e' stato sviluppato male .Nel complesso è' carino . Non ha troppi colpi di scena ed i cani posseduti sono sempre gli stessi

Super

Selten so einen bescheuerten Film gesehn!!Hinterher ist einem schlecht. Nicht nur von den unterirdisch schlecht gespielten Szenen, sondern von der wackelnden Kameraführung!!

Nun ja: Ich hoffe mein Hund, der neben mir auf dem Sofa lag, hat jetzt keine bleibenden Schäden oder kommt des nachts auf dumme Gedanken...Ein Meteoritenabsturz lässt alle Hunde verrückt spielen. Wieso, das bleibt mal wieder ungeklärt, Logik brauchen solche Filme ja auch nicht. Im Grunde passiert nur eine Sache: Ständige Angriffe von Snoopy, Benji, Lassy, Rintintin und Cujo. Meist sehr blutig mit wahren Lebenssaft - Fontänen, aber oft mit zu sehr erkennbaren Bodyparts aus Plastik / Stroh.Das wird schnell langweilig, richtig an den Bildschirm fesseln konnte mich da nur die atemberaubend schöne Tristin Mays (Vampire Diaries).Ein typischer Asylum / Sci Fi Chanel - Film, aber davon gab es schon schlechtere.

Man muss den Macher des Films schon loben, da man bei diesem Film nicht erkennt, dass es sich um Trickaufnahmen handelt. Denn schließlich sterben ja nicht wirklich Menschen oder Tiere. Diejenigen, die den Film negativ bewerten oder als Kitsch abtun, erkennen offensichtlich nicht die Arbeit, die in so einen Horror-Thriller steckt; überhaupt wenn mit Tieren gedreht wird.Der Film ist wirklich sehenswert. Und auch die Darsteller verdienen einen Lob. Ich persönlich sowie auch meine Bekannten können den Film empfehlen.
