The inmates of a Young Offenders Institution are beyond help: too tough to handle, too far gone to be brought back. Their prison is a dumping ground for the worst in the system: until they are sent to the wilderness.

Critic Reviews

  • Anton Bitel, Film4

    This over-literal, fright-free slasher is strictly for completist gorehounds and Home Secretaries seeking radical solutions to the high number of youth offenders.

  • Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

    Wilderness has an extremely high gore factor and a couple of genuinely nasty scenes but it's ultimately let down by its unlikeable characters.

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    Nothing is nearly as scary or surprising as the filmmakers seem to think it is.

  • Harry Guerin, RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland)

    It's nasty and bloody with enough mayhem to make most horror fans overlook some even more horrific dialogue.

  • A.D. V


    A welcome entry to survival horror with shades of the slasher genre thrown in for good measure. Low budget British fun.

  • Dean !


    Low budget UK horror, looked great from trailer but bit of a let down overall, had great potential. Very gory.

  • Steve K


    Solid if unoriginal Lord of the Flies type film. Hard to root for anyone, which is problematic. Some fierce dog mauling effects.
