Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Intelligent werwolf TV Movie
I greatly admire the novel of the same name by Dennis Danvers upon which this UK TV movie is based and have reviewed it favourably on these boards .This UK TV movie version does it justice simply by virtue of concentrating on the essence of the book -the people caught up in the plot rather than razzle-dazzle special effects .

Alice -played by Amanda Ooms -is a librarian who thinks she is a werewolf and transforms at every full moon .Michael Kitchen is the psychiatrist in whom she confides ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not the book...
Being a huge fan of werewolf fiction, I absolutely love the book "Wilderness" by Dan Danvers. When I saw this film on the shelves of the movie rental place I picked it up immediately. The first time I watched it, I was sorely, sorely dissapointed. The movie is so far from the book that it is almost an entirely different story. But as I got to thinking about it later, I realized that in its own right it's not half-bad. In fact, if you can forget the book while you're watching it, it is quite good. If you ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wolf Love....
Alice White is a librarian with a secret problem...She's a werewolf! After dating and (dumping), a series of losers, Alice consults an unscrupulous psychiatrist to help her with her problems. Over time, the psychiatrist falls in love with her and tries to manipulate her into a relationship not really believing Alice can turn into a wolf. Can Alice control the 'wolf within?' Or is she destined to be an outcast in human AND wolf society.

I enjoyed this movie, despite the cast of rather skanky male ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not as good as the book.
I read Dennis Danver's "Wilderness" before I saw the movie based on it. The book wasn't too bad, and I liked some parts of it (such as the fact that the werewolf was NOT a murderer, and was supposed to look like a real wolf when in wolf-form). I rented the movie expecting the same story as in the book, but I was dissapointed. The movie takes place in Britain, while the book takes place in Virginia and Canada (I would have liked to have seen more woods and less inner-city London, I believe the book had more ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Total Bomb!
I saw this movie and thought Finally!! someone made a movie based on the wonderful book by Dennis Danvers. Rented and blech! Terrible. Not at all like the book. First of all they changed the biologist's name from Erik to Dan. Then they make him a penguin biologist. Give me a break! He was a wolf biologist. Then they add in the parts like the wolf eating a little girl. Never happened in the book. and the worse part was the ending. Erik/Dan is suppose to stay with Alice. But whoever made this film did a total 180 ... Read More
