Excellent but underrated film

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Blistering performances.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Sarah (Isabella Calthorpe), who has been away from home for a long time, returns to England from LA. The house is being remodeled. We are introduced to Duncan (Simon MacCorkindale), Sarah's stepfather. There are some bill issues and mom is away for...? but will return in a couple of days. She is accused of keeping a boyfriend and draining the family of money. Sarah joins her brother out in the garage/barn where we are introduced to the rest of the gang. She has 3 brothers: Steven (Peter Gadiot),Charlie (Gabriel Thomson), and Luke (Antony De Liseo). Doug (Joshua Bowman) is a playboy and a friend of the guys. Emily (Gemma Atkinson) is Steven's girlfriend, formerly Doug's girlfriend as so crudely pointed out by Gary (Tom Felton)another party animal.After we get the basic idea of who all these people are, under a full moon and a power outage, the drunk stoned party moves to the big house with flashlights and candles....only to discover the terror that occupies the house. (If you have read the title or looked at the cover, you got a good idea what is there.)The creature makes noises that sound like "Predator" apparently an easy noise to duplicate as all the horror films have gone to it. The "night wolf" moves through the house by jerking around an infra-red camera. The movie was a fairly good idea that was poorly executed and suffered from the lack of decent special effects. I thought the support cast of Tom Felton and Gemma Atkinson were great. Isabella Calthorpe left much to be desired.F-bombs, sex talk, no real nudity. Pot smoking, drinking.

This movie is made by the producers of 'Dog Soldiers'. It isn't that bad but in no way is it in the same league as the for-mentioned movie. It is however a good film, with moments of bloody gore and good old-school effects, just like 'Dog Soldiers'. The story is nothing new but it does go along at a good pace. I have to admit, the Brits do make a good horror compared to others. There is a small twist to the plot near the end, but you can kind of see it coming if you look for the signs. The 'wolf' like creature is done well, but you don't see enough of it. But overall it was a good movie to fill in 85 minutes if you don't have anything amazing to watch. So I give it a 6.5 out of 10. Not that bad.

13Hrs/Wolf Night – TRASH IT ( C- ) 13Hrs is one of the trashy indie horror movies we see from time to time. The story revolves around a girl who returns home after years to meet her family. She meets her half siblings and their friends, who are drinking in the barn. Suddenly they realize that there is something really strange roaming around the bran and their house. From there the hide and seek for their life starts. The story is acceptable but it's the presentation that bothered me. Low budget is understandable but bad lighting is not. It was sometimes really hard to even understand what exactly is going on in most of the gruesome scenes. The only thing nice in the movie is the friction between friends and siblings. Joshua Bowman (Reason I saw this movie), Gemma Atkinson, Isabella Calthrope, Peter Gadiot and Gabriel Thomson were good in their respective parts. Drunken Tom Felton is not a good thing to look at, he was over the top and not good at faking it. Overall, Trash it, the family mystery in it is not worth wasting time.

I thought this was a very interesting, engaging film. It is a bit predictable (and some of the special effects aren't the greatest), but I found it thoroughly entertaining and that is a lot of times difficult for me since I tend to over think and constantly critique the horror movies since they are my favorite genre of movies. The girl who plays Sarah is quite lovely and doesn't suck at all at acting, which is always nice since the heroine of most horror movies that aren't commercial seem to over act and annoy the crap out of me. Quite frankly the entire cast is quite nice considering the only guy I had ever heard of was the guy who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. Besides this, dude who plays Doug (Joshua Bowman) is quite handsome, so he made it very easy to watch the movie. Basically I enjoyed this movie, and recommend it for at least a try.
