Wolf House (2016)


 A group of people who call themselves friends, but seem to dislike each other, go to a cabin for the weekend. They treat each other poorly, play  mean pranks and you’ll want to punch most of the characters in the face.  When they shoot a large unidentifiable creature, they decide it’s a Bigfoot and bring it back to the cabin.  Chaos ensues as other creatures show up and want their friend back.

At one point in the ruckus, 911 is called and they say two people are dead and something like a bear attacked them.  The 911 operator tells them the line is for emergencies only, and hangs up because they think it’s a prank.  That is one bad operator.  If you don’t believe a creature attacked them, at least take the report of two dead bodies seriously.

One scene that drove me nuts is the guy with the camera hiding in a cabinet trying to be quiet. But he keeps moving the camera all around so he can film out the door.  Seriously, stop freaking moving. How stupid are you? Apparently pretty stupid since he never stops moving which means he’s making noise and boom, creature attack.

This is super low budget and it’s found footage genre, which means the camerawork is nauseating.  There is a reason this has a 2.6 on IMDB. It is almost unwatchable.  It’s one of those movies that will probably only appeal to those who worked on it, or friends of those who worked on it.
