Blu-ray Review – Out Come the Wolves

Director Adam MacDonald (who was just in theaters with “This Is Not a Test”) aims to explore relationship woes and the horrors of nature in 2023’s “Out Come the Wolves.” It’s a minimalist chiller that doesn’t contain any overt threat for most of its run time, with screenwriter Enuka Okuma working on psychological issues for the three main characters, trying to complicate relationships with unspoken feelings and barely concealed hostilities. The picture eventually switches over to killer wolf mode, and it’s the rare offering that doesn’t really benefit from an escalation into animal attack violence. “Out Come the Wolves” isn’t as satisfying as it could be, though it teases some interesting complications during its first half, getting into a tight situation of obsession and silent longing that’s more suspenseful than any forest dangers.
