Leave your thoughts about Wildling.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere's momentum to the endeavor that's compelling, and its general direction toward macabre discoveries is periodically hair-raising. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekFritz Bohm's feature debut offers an intriguing spin on the hairy (and, one might add, hoary) old [werewolf] genre. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesAnother film that seeks to explore the tumultuous battlefield of becoming a woman, Wildling oozes with an unexpected amount of dark charm. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattA clever, sharp-fanged mélange of classic midnight-movie horror and modern indie ingenuity. |
| New York PostSara StewartA supernatural “What’s Happening to My Body?” parable in company with “Carrie,” “Ginger Snaps” and last year’s “Thelma,” Wildling is low-key with an undertone of menace, skillfully directed by Fritz Böhm in his feature debut (though some of his nighttime scenes are so dark it’s genuinely hard to tell what’s going on). |
| Dread CentralJonathan BarkanWildling takes traditional the werewolf transformation mechanism and uses it as the foundation for a more immediate and relatable story ... |
| SlashfilmMeredith BordersIt's a really smart approach to an ageless tale, and putting aside all deeper meaning, Wildling works on its surface as a cool and spooky monster movie with great performances and some extremely effective gore. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonI do recommend that genre fans keep an eye out for Wildling (it would make for a great double feature alongside Ginger Snaps or even last year's Raw). |
| The LensAndrew WyattThe actors do their best, but Wildling is a bland muddle: fatally uncertain as to what tone it wants to convey, and prone to haphazardly picking up and discarding subplots and themes. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoA clever reimagining of werewolf lore using a present-day setting and female twist. |
