There are movies that are extremely hyped up and deliver what the audience expects. There are also movies that are extremely hyped up and do not deliver. However, this movie is hyped as i think i did manage to see maybe 3 or 4 trailers before the show is released. But this show is strange, because the trailer seemed to be telling people that its an action thriller show, but yet its really more of just a thriller in the end. This probably explains why there are alot of people who found this show really bad, and yet there is another group that found this show really really good. So to set things clear, THIS IS NOT AN ACTION SHOW!
Heres a picture of the show poster
Yep... the poster is as informative as the title and also the trailer. Meaning it tells you nothing at all.
So for those who really wanna know, this is a show about man's survival instinct when placed in a situation against wolves. Yep wolves. NOT WEREWOLVES! I guess this might be the problem with the show. In a time where everything is fantasy like or funny, this show follows a more film art kind of tone which means there is a lot of exchange of emotion and interaction and hence it is not easy to understand. Well below is the review that could help you decide whether you should see this or save your time.
Storyline
The storyline is pretty simple, its about man's survival against the elements as well as the wolves that seem to be pretty offended by the presence of these intruders. Since it takes place in a far far away place, I can't say that it is not a very plausible scenario, but whether wolves really act like this is another curious issue. Either way, the story line is basically a survival type of story but there are no zombies, just lots of hungry and angry wolves.
Character
This is supposed to be the main attraction factor of those who see this show, and i guess to a certain level it does it pretty well. The characters are believable and generally pretty different to allow you to consider who you would be in that situation and confirm that you would really act in that manner. Also many characters in the show die.. and some die very quickly before anything unique could be established. They really could have gone further into describing some back story to give more immersiveness into the show.
Cinematography
You can feel there is some effort put into the cinematography of the show. Especially at certain points of the show to evoke feelings from the audience. So overall like a film art you will have good and meaningful perspectives that help to keep the show from being merely a story, but rather something you could immerse yourself into.
Music
I have some slight memory of there being some music aspects during the show, but nothing too striking or hindering.
Spectacle
As far as this show goes, it will score pretty badly if you are finding action. But if you are finding maybe drama or thrills then this is probably something that will strike out to you. However, remember that this is not fantasy kind of thrills and more of realistic dangers which means that to quite many people, it will be monotonous.
Overall
Storyline : 3 (I personally have to say it doesn't really appeal to me hence the lower score and i would say that this storyline may only appeal to a niche audience)
Character : 3.5 (There is good character building, but i do see many places it could be improved)
Cinematography : 3.5 (It is pretty nice and does have its uses, but its not exemplary)
Music : 3 (The average score for an average score.... pun intended)
Spectacle : 3 (Average score because what many people expected wasn't what they got. Of course you could say that oh its just a misinterpretation, but if it makes alot of people misinterpret then its not very nice either)
Overall : 3.2 (This show satisfies its niche market which would be people who like to see how people react in realistic situations in the world. However, for people who wanna be entertained by action or nice fight scenes or stuff like that, this is probably not the show for you. Its those kind of film art show where if you check professional reviews, they will give very good ratings. But its only cause they can appreciate all these. For the layman however, it will require more work.)
