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.
... View MoreWhat should be a simple night of cigarettes and booze, quickly turns into a dismal array of disaster as members of a family are slowly picked off by an unnatural force. Not only are emotions tested as secrets and true feelings come out, but they are heightened through tension and suspense as each one is picked off one by one. The ending will be an unexpected twist compared to the rest of the film, but it seems that the movie relies too much on emotional drama more than anything else – the supernatural creature – revealed in the title as a werewolf, is rarely seen and only in the distance or off camera – this movie focuses more on family ties than anything else and makes for a sad entry into the horror genre. The movie might be good for those that like B-Grade style, but I otherwise would steer clear of this and focus elsewhere.Some complaints about this movie include at least three plot arcs which do not match up overly well – they seem to be mashed together to form a complete movie more than anything else. The young adults, which otherwise seem to be having fun, quickly turn into reckless daredevils as they go up against a supernatural creature; their emotions that run wild remain throughout the entire movie and it proves to be a letdown with the ending. The sarcastic name calling and swearing in typical British horror movie style, also leaves much to be desired.
... View More13Hrs/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.
... View MoreI think the integrity of IMDb has gone to sh_t because of fake posts, fake ratings by those involved in the film.I rented this one, seeing a >8/10 review from some 25 people. I can't say it was anything but a waste of money. I'm a huge horror film fan, and watch anything that comes out and doesn't get abysmal ratings on here. I had to watch this one in fast forward. The initial dialog, and characters were interesting. Acting seemed fine. Once the creature and killings enter in, we are left with incoherent camera flashes, and a claustrophobic mess. When we finally see the creature, we understand why they decided to hide it till the end. The quality of the creature effects definitely are the bad. The story the ugly.. and the acting, and characters... the good.The film had a lot of things done very well. Others very badly.
