Going into the cinema to see the film knowing nothing about the film was probably the best way for me to see Wolf, this movie could have been so much better, the story is there but it’s not used to its full potential, the flashback stories are good to bring in the characters’ backstories, but then again it slows down what we are wanting in a “horror” the shocks and creatures that make us jump in our cinema seats.
Some of the landscape shots look very good, but maybe down to the overuse of drone shots, they do wear a little thin after a time.
Throughout the film, I was waiting for that Wolf that is so terrifying that you could see why the Roman soldiers were so scared of what was in the woods, but the creature itself is a real let down, let’s just say that being naked and having some dodgy dental just doesn’t really introduce the fear factor that the film could have had.
The acting is certainly below par in Wolf as well, I’ve seen so many low-budget Indie films over the years and I have to say that I’ve seen so much better. It’s such a shame that there is so much that has let this movie down.
Great Britain. 150AD. When four messengers sent by Rome to a plague-infected Caledonia, with a message of peace and help for their King, go missing Rome has no choice but to send ten of their finest across Hadrian’s Wall to find and bring them back. Led by their Captain, Domitius, (George McCluskey, “The Zombie King”), and two of their strongest warriors, Grackus, (Stuart Brennan, “Risen”) and Nerva, (Mark Paul Wake, “Plan Z”), the legion soon realise that what lays in wait for them is something much worse than any plague or army known to man – And with them being picked off one by one on their journey back to the wall by a beast none of them can match, and survival being their only hope, will there be anyone left to warn Rome of the dangers it may now face. Fight For Rome. Fight For Caesar. Fight To Survive.
