“There haven’t been wolves in this area for years!” IFC Films + Shudder have unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Out Come the Wolves, the latest horror from filmmaker Adam MacDonald (of Backcountry and Pyewacket). This intense Canadian survival thriller set in the backwoods is about a woman who must fight two kinds of wolves – animals living in nature, and jealous human males. 🐺 Watch out. At a remote cabin deep in the wilderness, a weekend of hunting with three people turns to mayhem and a fight for survival when a pack of wolves suddenly attack a man, his best friend, and her fiance. “Sophie is forced to rely on her hunting prowess to face the deadly predators and save the one closest to her heart.” Of course. Starring Missy Peregrym as Sophie, Joris Jarsky and Damon Runyan. I thought we’d moved on from using wolves as the villains in survival movies, but I guess they’re a metaphor this time. Just makes me want to (re)watch that Liam Neeson survival movie The Grey instead, in which he also fights off wolves.
Here’s the red band trailer (+ poster) for Adam MacDonald’s Out Come the Wolves, on IFC’s YouTube:
Retired hunter Sophie (Missy Peregrym) invites her fellow hunter and childhood best friend Kyle to her family’s secluded cabin deep in the woods. There, she plans for Kyle to meet & teach her fiancé Nolan how to hunt for an article he’s writing and reveal their engagement. Tensions flare between Kyle & Nolan over their shared history with Sophie, escalating during the hunt that goes awry when they are ambushed by a vicious pack of territorial wolves. As alliances fracture under the pressure of survival, Sophie is forced to rely on her long-abandoned hunting prowess to face the deadly predators and save the one closest to her heart. Out Come the Wolves is directed by Canadian indie writer / filmmaker Adam MacDonald, director of the films Backcountry and Pyewacket previously, plus a few other horror short films. The screenplay is written by Enuka Okuma; from a story by Joris Jarsky & Adam MacDonald, and Enuka Okuma. This hasn’t premiered at any film festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. IFC Films debuts Out Come the Wolves in select US theaters + on VOD starting on August 30th, 2024 right at the end of the month. Look any good?
