While perusing RedBox's meager offerings I foolishly selected a horror movie called WOLF TOWN. In this waste of $1.29, the worlds biggest loser convinces his best friend to be his wingman in his quest to win some girls affections. She brings her boyfriend along and off they go to a ghost town which has a well maintained dirt road leading right to it, but hasn't been picked cleaned. The trip was four hours each way and the four college students took no gear, not even water or food. So much for higher education. Or common sense. They find a diary, in the saloon of all places, which tells of how the wolves practicly wiped out the miners from a hundred years before. Meanwhile the loser sees a wolf and drops into a ball, crying, like it's a grizzly looking for a snack. It half snarls and runs past him like it's chasing a thrown stick. But his hapless friend is savagely attacked. They discuss not having a first aid kit or any emergency gear then find that not only have the wolves (dogs) stolen a cell phone, they've also climbed under the dash and chewed the ignition wires and carried some off. Pretty savvy for animals who's ancestors last had contact with humans 150 years before. Panic ensues and they run in circles before finding dynamite in the barn. One remembers he has a lighter in his bag, in the car, and loser remembers he has a flashlight. Of course none of them thought to throw any of the million or so handy rocks just lying about at the wolves chasing them. I'd like to report they all blew themselves up with the century old dynamite, but the viewer just isn't that lucky. This movie is a prime example of what not to do when heading out into the bush. And who not take along. Unless wolves are out to eat you. Then they would make good diversions as you escape. I hope THE GRAY is better when I finally see it.

LOL!!!
