    Underdeveloped

    I loved this movie's originality, which is hard to come by these days. The main complaint is that the pace was way too quick which left the story with way too many things unsettled, or glossed over. Even if there were a sequel, this story wasn't told to its full potential. The main actress carried the movie with a brilliant performance which is why it earned my 6 stars. Would have been a solid 8 borderline 9 if the story was told with a little more detail.

    It's Something

    So this movie is VERY VERY INTERESTING, it has an odd enough storyline to keep you into the movie... I think Most will really enjoy the mystery that is this movie. However just as interesting as this movie is, is how crazy the shift in story will be. So I think if you're in the mood for an interesting movie this is definitely one to watch !!! You'll love it , be let down by it , maybe hate it or just be confused but either way it's not bad

    Good start - bad finish

    Wildling has a promising start even though it is very reminiscent to The Room in its early scenes. As the story unfolds, the film basically disintegrates before finally stopping with a badly written ending. At times, you could also connect the story to the one of Raw, the French film from 2016. I would advise you to see that one since it is incomparably better than Wildling. The acting is quite decent but the story feels underdeveloped, sloppy and it also contains some unecessary cheesy teenage romantic moments. There are not many special effects, but even the ones present are poorly executed. I know this is a harsh review and I wish I could list some more positives but they are simply not there. It is a shame since the opening minutes are not bad.

    Better than some gave given credit

    Lots of negative comments on the ending. So, maybe my expectations were low. But, it wasn't that bad. You know with this kinda film it was going to be dark. Anything else would've been corny. Overall, a pretty decent flick. The actress playing Anna did a great job. Wild that she's actually 26.

    Shut up with those fake reviews.

    You just can't rate this film with 1/10 or with 10/10. This film is not trying to be mystery/thriller original. Even the film poster suggest what can you expect from this. Main girl cast was excellent, she did a great job, you won't believe she was 26 y.o. at film's premiere. Acting was very good and directing was well. Story was okay, but not so shocking. Camera angles were good, but I didn't liked the editing much. Not very violent film in my disappointment.

    I will not watch this again, but there were entertaining 92 minutes today.

      [first lines]

      Daddy: [telling a bedtime story] Do you want to hear a story? Do you want me to tell you about the Wildling?

      Daddy: His teeth are long and sharp like this. And so are his nails. Long and sharp like this. And his hair is long and black. All over his whole body.

      [thunder rumbling]

      Daddy: Do you wanna hear more?

      4-Year-Old Anna: [head shake, no]

      Daddy: Okay. You're my special little berry.
