5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful saga in the Grimm-brothers tradition, July 23, 2002

This review is from: Wilderness [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is marketed like a horror and sex fest. That's not exactly what it is. I saw it on tv when it was shown as a miniseries a few years back and I absolutely fell in love with it. If you like werewolf tales, I would definately recommend it. It's a high-quality production for British tv with good acting, and a good story. It reminds me a little of a 'Grim-brothers type fairytale', mysterious and romantic in an old fashioned kind of way. I had been cursing myself for not recording it when it was shown, and I had never even thought that it could be released on video. I was so happy and suprised when I found it here. I've ordered my copy immediately, and I can't wait to recieve it

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilderness, June 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilderness [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Wilderness is an unusually intelligent "werewolf" drama. Unusual in that the transformation scenes are gentle and quick, with none of the usual gore - just simple morphing into a real wolf which shows the gentle nature of its human form - "Alice", a lonely librarian. The drama is more about loneliness than anything else, and Amanda Ooms very effectively expresses the isolation that her condition brings, and her longing for love and a "normal" human life. Not that there isn't any action - there certainly is, but it's not overdone. Another bonus is that the film gives the viewer a good feel for how the wolf Alice feels as she hunts through the woods - and city streets - at night. The realism is heightened by the fact that only one person believes Alice's story - even her lover just can't accept it. Clever, exciting, and ultimately very moving, with no sugary happy ending to spoil it.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent werewolf drama., July 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilderness (DVD)
A 150 mn BBC 3 part drama edited t a 99min pic released by Fangoria. Not a gore pic or one with a heavy emphasis on special effects.. It is more of an artistic fairy tale of the sort of thing M. R. James might write. More a character drama than a horror pic. Intelligent and interesting with good actors. Amanda Oombs is excellent as the woman who is a wolf. There is little blood but Oombs is naked in many scenes. This adds to the pic and she handles it well and she gives her character a real sense of wildness. Really worth seeing though teen males might not like it as much as adults.This is an interesting werewolf pic since most emphasise the horror of an unwilling werewolf while Oombs' character prefers being a wolf to living her human life. Give this a try. The DVD has a trailer, a stupid quiz and an article on the movie, including a section on the problems of working with a wolf.(Never allow yourself to be lower than the wolf or she will attack you.) I like directors such as Dario Argento but this shows that a lower key pic can deal with traditional horror characters in an entertaining manner.
