Wolf Town is another one of those films that I spotted on Youtube and decided (Against my better judgement) to give a chance due to the impressive cover art.
I had no idea what to expect and just assumed it would be another low budget horror mess so was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
For a start the film looks great, the budget limitations are blatant but they get around that using solid camera work which disguises it brilliantly.
The story is about a small town in the ol'wild west that discovers gold but mere months later they are all gone and it's become a ghost town. Cut forward to modern day and four 20 somethings visit and discover the horrifying secret behind the towns fate.
This story was solid and the execution was highly original. The characters are hit and miss and are the biggest weakness by far, our "Hero" is a whiney little unlikeable idiot that it's very hard to get behind.
If you can get past that we have a competently made, genuinely interesting horror/thriller that is well worth anyone's time.
The Good:
Looks great
Fantastic story
Budget limitations are very well hidden
The Bad:
Some weak characters
Rushed ending
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Wolves are just dogs
Wolves know how to disable cars
I really want to visit a ghost town suddenly
Sounds influence peoples dreams, my other half had a nightmare about wolves attacking the house due to sleeping while I had the film on!
