Wildling

A clever, sharp-fanged mélange of classic midnight-movie horror and modern indie ingenuity.

It’s a promising debut for Böhm, with a lot of promise. But it’s a home run for Powley, who makes Wildling worth watching even when it shouldn’t be.

Böhm doesn't do so well with Wildling's scare scenes and gore, because he seems more focused on making a coming-of-age character study than an effective fright-flick. But he has one remarkable character in Anna, who's played by Powley as a feral gal with a heartbreakingly doleful soul.

Wildling may swerve last-minute into a less dense finale, but Bel Powley's performance is worth this fierce and untamed coming-of-self arc that's so exquisitely female-centered.

As Wildling’s center, Powley keeps our attention in her orbit, and Böhm constructs a universe around her that’s worthy of her talent (if at times too murkily filmed for its own good). But the movie loses its thread 15 minutes or so into its running time.

This creature feature from the director Fritz Böhm is functional but lacks flavor, an imaginative spark that might distinguish it from any number of other I-was-a-teenage-monster movies.

The attention paid to images does not translate to character development, story, or dialogue, leaving little emotional resonance, while making me seriously wonder if the men telling these stories understand much at all about female sexuality.

The first hour or so of the movie was honestly quite good in my opinion. The acting, while not being great was good enough, the story was interesting and it succeeded at being an original monster movie. Unfortunately, it all went downhill after that hour. I didn't care much for the love story, there were tons of clichés, the movie became quite predictable and the ending was very disappointing. At least the creature looked good.

With an awesome premise, a great set-up and a harrowing atmosphere that you can't find in a low-budget horror film, Wildling starts out strongly but every thing that comes after the first 20 minutes drains away. And instead of this wonderful start, the movie's story morphs into a predictable vampire horror story by using incoherent clichés and clumsy dialogue. And we got a movie that would be fair if we compared it to any part from the Twilight series. (4.5/10)

I really don't recommend that for me it wast a waste of time don't know why after the year 2000 movies industry have changed a lot everything is commercial to get as much income and profits no matter what the content was movies are so bad its rare to find a real good film now !!
