I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This isnt the worst film that I've ever watched, which is about as high as my praise is going to get.The set-up creates a little bit of tension, and triggers a mild sense of light curiosity, but the main reason i bothered watching to the end was the hope that i would get to see every last one of the awful characters die.There's little that the film does particularly well. There is only one character who i found myself liking at any point, and they're uncerimoniously dispatched without much fuss. The script isnt bad per se, it just seems a bit half-arsed and under developed - which in turn makes the characters fairly half-arsed and under developed.All in all, the sort of film you 'leave on' rather than 'put on'.

It looked a bit inconsistent. Some killings were shot pretty badly. The landscapes looked amazing and some of the movement was divine. Mostly quite subtle sound design and lovely with some great music and surround/bass well used. I would watch this again but it was not what I was expecting. It did not have suspense or supernatural. It was like Eden Lake (2008) but nowhere near as harrowing. The girl from Sugar Rush was not right for this at all. Otherwise the acting was good. Overall too inconsistent to recommend.

I remember viewing this movie along with "Severance" which is both alike in many ways and as I started watching this I was purely hooked all the way through. At the start we get a group of young offenders in a prison and one of them commits suicide, after he is continuously bullied by his cellmates, the remaining inmates are then sent to an Island where they have to learn team building which was a little far-fetched and out there and then they come across a small group of girls who are also there for the same reason and both become targets of a psychopathic army man whose hell bent on killing them all and armed with vicious attack dogs.This movie was pure fun all the way through, okay the who dun nit angle wasn't hard to figure out but that didn't matter as this movie sustained suspense all the way through and it's unpredictable which is rare in horror movies these days and the death scenes are well thought out and very elaborate and those attack dogs were nasty and vicious and were well used, and this movie really makes the most of out of its eerie island setting and cleverly staged scenes in the woods and the cliffs and oceans. This movie has a definite height of realism to it despite the ridiculous reason that they were sent to the island, and this movie does build drama and suspense, the killer was spot on and a welcome change from the usual teen slice and dice, here we get an army guy decked out in camflourage and decked out with attack dogs which makes the chase scenes more nerve racking and exciting which does add a hint of intelligence to the proceedings, but my only complaint was that when the killer was finally revealed he was quite easily dispatched which was a bit of a downer.The acting was very good despite the fact that they were mostly underdeveloped but that didn't stop them from becoming interesting as we get a range of variety in the cast Sean Pertwee as the Prison guard gets a nasty death and gives a credible performance, as does Alex Reid she displays true strength and courage to her role and should've been in it more. Toby Kebbell as Callum was also rather interesting and added a sense of mystery to his role. Stephen Wight also did well at making his character unlikeable and believable as the movie carries on he becomes more and more unhinged which was exciting and Lenora Crichlow brought true charm to her role as Mandy and made decent for final girl material.All in all "Wilderness" is a decent survival flick slasher movie, that brings something a little different to the table and gladly it works as a whole.

"Wilderness" is a tight and scary film.The plot: A group of teenage offenders are sent to a forest to rehabilitate after the death of another inmate. But someone and something is after them, killing them one by one. Can they escape? The movie is loaded with gore and suspense. Sean Pertwee is his usual professional self and the special effects are pretty well done. It's from The director of the underrated "Deathwatch", so you know it's going to be nothing less than good. The only drawback is the jarring use of video during the first killing. But that's a minor problem. I also like that all the characters are despicable and there's really no hero. The climax is very entertaining and bloody."Wilderness" is another winner from Michael J. Bassett. I highly recommend it.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
