Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is wonderful that a movie actually shows a woman breastfeeding a baby, but it's a shame that it was in this disaster. It was confusing and hard to follow. Throw in the bad acting and the hideous lighting and you have a train wreck. The ugly, fake monsters were the icing on the cake. With a budget of $1 million, you'd think they would be able to afford a bit more believable costumes/effects.The basic plot of a girl giving up her baby for adoption, then finding an abandoned baby during a hike where she and her friends are then stalked by a murderous creature is interesting. It had so much potential with additional development. Unfortunately, this is where the director fell short.

OK. I'm going to be a little bias here as Samantha Shields is actually a good friend of mine and i act with her quite often, but nonetheless i actually did enjoy the film! OK, so i've seen scarier horror's in my time and ...maybe i laughed a little at the special effects on this one, but with such a low budget they done OK.As for the acting, well...iv'e only ever acted with Sami on stage before and so it's all been a little over the top as stage performances usually are, so to see Sami being so natural was amazing! the girl definitely has a natural talent for natural acting! She definitely has a bright future ahead of her! take me with you Sami!!

I am slightly biased in favour of this film, since part of it was shot at my farm. Having seen "Wild Country" from its very rough stage through to the final screening, I am very impressed, especially with the special effects, which were extremely well done, and with the quality portrayals by Martin Compston, Samantha Shields, Peter Capaldi and Karen Fraser. Even knowing the plot, I still held my breath at some scenes. The young actors put on very polished performances and Craig Strachan was a considerate but professional producer for such a cast. Scottish films are few and far between and this is a must see for Scots horror fans.

I think Wild Country is a good film. It has something for everybody, it's comical in places, scary in others, it also has a touch of social realism and a little bit of a romantic story underlying. If you appreciate hard working film makers you will appreciate this. The acting is natural and very convincing. I like the way it's lit, it makes it more scary for it to be that dark because that is how dark it is in Scotland at night in the winter.It's how realistic they made it that works for me, the actors act the way any normal teenager would act when faced with a beast in the out in the middle of nowhere. it's shot documentary style, with a "blair witch" feel at places.I think the film makers did a good job and i hope the film does well so that more Scottish films can be made!!!
