It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Blistering performances.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I wish to give less than 0 stars, for bad directing and actors playing. This is the most worst movie I have seen!Even a kid of 10 years old has more imaginations to create better stories to create a good movie than this one.I admit I have watched till the end only for the curiosity how the movies end, but I saw even the end is really a sh33t like this "movie"! And I wonder, Directors and all staff of this movie, when you saw this movie for the first time, how many of you accepted to publish it? Because it's a REAL bush33t of movie! Do you know it?Cheers.
I rented this last night, and thought it was actually pretty funny. The characters were pretty dumb, you can see that the actors are wearing those dog bite sleeves. They have dogs with blood everywhere trying to sound vicious with growling noises played throughout, but they look cute and like they're playing around. The story is like something out of an old 80's horror movie; a meteor lands in a small town, breaking into several parts. The pieces give off a green glow and loud screeching sound, making all the dogs in town attack and kill anyone human. One family tries to survive the carnage and make it out alive. If you love bad cheesy movies and dogs, you might enjoy NIGHT OF THE WILD!!!
By Asylum's standards, this movie is a triumph. Since almost all Asylum films feature terrible CGI and brazenly atrocious acting, this film sets itself somewhat apart as it is a bit higher quality.I didn't say it was good. Just better than the average Asylum feature. Asylum movies are characterized by a formulaic construction using an outlandish plot, poor acting, egregious errors in common sense, and insultingly horrific computer animation.So what did "Night of the Wild" bring us? Outlandish plot. Check. We got it here. A meteorite crashes, causing all the canines from every quaint little hamlet in the county to converge upon one little town and maul every happy citizen with a sleeve. Great, I love it. It's nice to see that the townsfolk won't let a few glowing rocks from the heavens stop them from going about their town-ish business.Then comes the acting. Absolutely sub par, but not to the point of being distracting from the movie's action. I'm traditionally very easy on the actors of such films since I don't think anyone can really save a bad movie movie by eloquently delivering poorly written dialogue. What it comes down to is staying in character, and the actors managed it well enough. I'm sure others here will be happy to rip the acting apart, but frankly I don't see much to comment on here one way or the other.Next, we get some absolutely ridiculous distortions of common sense. I mean of course that the characters, when faced with disaster, seem to choose the most obviously insipid course of action available to them, every time, without fail. For many viewers of this genre, herein lies our blessed entertainment.Lastly, the aforementioned terrible CGI. I'm happy to report that for most of the movie, this element is lacking almost entirely. It seems that when faced with a plot line that does not involve mutated fusions of various reptiles and sea creatures, hideously gooey and slimy otherworldly visitors, spectacularly impossible or improbable natural catastrophes and/or large robots, the Asylum studio has enough presence of mind to actually reject hastily constructed and unconvincing computer animation.Or so I had hoped.. Unfortunately by the end of the film it became apparent that the budget was running short and they had to finish the movie in a hurry, so they filmed the car ride and the plane ride in a studio (you never get to see the vehicles moving), recycled and misplaced a scene or two (the blood and makeup mysteriously vanished for about 8 seconds), and then finally surrendered to the urge to do what they do best: add some hastily constructed and unconvincing computer animation. A patchwork finish if I've ever seen one.(Spoiler, the ending credits are apparently ashamed of themselves because they zip up at a truly confounding speed. I knew I should have taken that speed-reading course in college.) Altogether the movie was still entertaining, and in my humble opinion a good move in the right direction for the Asylum studio. It earns one of my higher Asylum movie scores.More please.
with as many stupid characters and worst writing this was a must watch to see how awful it would become. Virtually all of the characters in this movie should die and fall victim to natural selection weeding out inferior species and animals. Rooting for all of these idiots to die became my ultimate priority. If movie makers can't do better than this they should quit making movies, I must write ten lines to make it printable, are they serious????? with as many stupid characters and worst writing this was a must watch to see how awful it would become.
