Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com While wolf attacks are typically metaphorical, sometimes they are all too literal. In Out Come the Wolves, that’s precisely the case Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com The skimpy structure leaves little to feast on; it’s a bit too gamey for its own good. Rated: 2/4 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a progressively underwhelming endeavor that fares best within its quiet, low-key opening stretch... Rated: 1/4 Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Basically a mash-up of The Edge and the director’s own Backcountry only instead of a bear its wolves and we hope none of the men makes it back to civilization. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com Missy Peregrym anchors smart thriller with undeniable flaws. Rated: 3/4 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Pat Padua Spectrum Culture This efficient three-hander keeps you interested in the fate of three characters whose true nature seems elusive—until they face themselves in the woods. Rated: 78/100 Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Craig B Out Come The Wolves had plenty of promise, but it was held back by poor dialogue and dodgy acting. It didn't help that the first 33 minutes was spent supposedly setting up the rest of the movie, but when the entire movie is 87 minutes, 33 minutes is way too much time. Even then, apart from providing some important background history between the 3 main characters, most of that time added little value to the story. Some pretty good and gory attack scenes. It seemed like a lost opportunity... and 87 minutes I will never get back. Not a movie I could recommend. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Richard T This is terrible in every way from beginning to end. Poorly written nonsense script. If you know anything about motorcycles or hunting it is even more pathetic. AS usual the pro critics gave it a rating of 71%. They are useless. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Chris B If you're a fan of Backcountry to you will most likely enjoy this. However, I found it clunky and predictable. It's also one of those where the characters are so unlikeable, the two males especially, I had no investment into whether they survived or not. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review CJ L After seeing Backcountry earlier this year and absolutely loving it, I was excited to jump into Out Come the Wolves to see if Mr. MacDonald had anything else up his sleeves with regards to wildlife horror and while I believe he did with regards to the violence and ferocity of the animals themselves, I found myself missing any spark for the main characters. Missy Peregrym's acting was outstanding and the relationship between her and her best friend was believable and realistic, but I found her relationship with her fiancee to be a bit of a struggle to get behind. I also found the unnecessary emotional tension between the two friends to be unnecessary given the already high stakes of the situation. Was it realistic? Sure. I suppose that in high stress environments it is natural for friends to become enemies as they attempt to whether the storm, but it made the film less enjoyable for me. Overall though, a solid film and one that I would recommend to a streaming audience. I'm not upset at all that this was my first movie viewing for December 2024 and will most likely visit it again during wildlife horror binges. That being said, I do feel that Backcountry is a superior film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Steven t Good movie but a touch predictable 3 person film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Denise J I watched this movie because I like the director. He also directed “back country” which also stars the lead actress and thought it was wonderfully done. The idea of wolves is also terrifying. So I was excited to give this one a chance. Felt like the wolves didn’t get a whole lot of screen time but the shots of them were fantastic. Just wish there were more scenes with them. Also, fourwheelers take a VERY long time to run out of gas. So unless this guy started their hunting journey on a sliver of gas, there would be no way it would run out. Also why was there only one gun? Why did the guy get off his atv and run into the woods? Why was there no ammo? Why didn’t the girl bring a gun? Why didn’t they call the police first, then go look for Nolan? Idk. Just thought it could have been way better and better scenes. Love the gore and the blood and the attack scenes. Also, no bear spray? I still liked it!! Just could have been way better. I do like this director though. I hope he continues to make wilderness thriller survival movies!!! Definitely worth a watch.
