Wilderness (2006)

- written February 2009

Summary: Callum is placed in the Morgate prison for youth offenders and while there, he witnesses the normal bullying of the weaker boys. But when one of the bullied boys commits suicide, all of the remaining boys are taken away to the Island, that is a former military training area that has been turned over to the prison system for use in wilderness survival courses. They find a few random people there whom they try to ignore. That is until people start dying one by one.           Overall: I was sooooooo impressed with this movie. It was jolting, shocking and sometimes downright scary. Some unforgettable scenes as we try and figure out who is responsible for the killing. The stealthy kills are awesome! And the dogs, for me, almost steal the show. They’re vicious, hungry and fast. Watching them go full board down the beach, makes it so freaky as we see our delinquents running into the water for safety...until they realize, the dogs plan on swimming after them!!! Bottom line, this is a must see!!!           Comparison: Surviving the Game meets Lord of the Flies
