Review of Night Wolf

Night Wolf (2010)
7/10
I Actually Thought This Was Pretty Decent
21 June 2014
I have to say that I was surprised to see that "Night Wolf" only had a 4.5 rating at the time of writing. I agree that it's no masterpiece - even in the horror genre - but keep everything in perspective. It's a low budget horror movie with a mostly little known cast, and it's a pretty tense little thriller for the most part. It starts with Sarah (played by Gemma Atkinson, who I thought did a good job) returning home to the family estate in England from the United States to visit a rather dysfunctional group of family and friends. Pretty soon, this group finds themselves being hunted down one by one by some terrifying, unknown creature.

I thought the movie did a good job of sustaining suspense, and it was rather frightening at times. I didn't think the gore involved was gratuitous and - unusual for this kind of movie - there was no nudity that I remember. The scenes inside the estate as the group desperately tries to avoid the creature were very well done, and had a claustrophobic feel to them.

Not really showing the creature was a good decision that added to the mystery of what was happening. The final revelation of who the creature was didn't come as a surprise. All in all, this was, in my opinion, pretty well done. (7/10)
