In an age where horror films are filled with repetitive jump scares that do nothing but annoy, Wildling builds tension by creating an uncomfortable feeling within the viewer.

Sure to appeal to Young Adult fans and burgeoning werewolf connoisseurs, yet it doesn't quite capitalize on its promising premise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2021

...the storytelling gets more haphazard and by the time it finally fully shifts gears into horror, the whole thing just becomes kind of silly, not to mention pretty sloppy from a technical standpoint.

Böhm's film is cloaked in mystery, dark and dank, occasionally bloody, sometimes shocking, and fantastically folkloric.

Fairytales can be far denser than people realize. Wildling knows that, and creates something quite impressive in its 90 minute running time.

[Wildling's] a strong, assured debut with a cracking cast and plenty of weird, dark storybook elements to surprise even the most diehard body horror fans.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 1, 2019

A metaphor about the process all girls go through physically and psychologically, in a world painfully focused on gender roles and ignorant of feminine sexuality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2019

The actors do their best, but Wildling is a bland muddle: fatally uncertain as to what tone it wants to convey, and prone to haphazardly picking up and discarding subplots and themes.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 7, 2018

It means well, even when it doesn't have a lot to say.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 3, 2018

Wildling has a promising start, but it comes apart when Anna's transformation begins. It feels almost like two different films in one, and this unfortunately leads to multiple plot holes and strange character arcs.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Nov 2, 2018

Wildling is a solid debut feature for Böhm and features a magnetic performance from Bel Powley as well as some excellent creature and gore effects.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

A new exponent of terror that exceeds the average of the genre thanks to its abundance of ideas and searches. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2018

Anna's journey from confinement to liberation is more complex when configured in the back of her big blue eyes, when the look she fears is the one on the other side of the bars. [Full Review in Spanish]

The drawback is a script that, after an acceptable start, takes an erratic course. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 18, 2018

Wildling is an attractive film that despite its shortcomings, has the virtues of an independent cinema exploring identity and sordidness of terror. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 16, 2018

Another film that seeks to explore the tumultuous battlefield of becoming a woman, Wildling oozes with an unexpected amount of dark charm.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2018

A horror film that departs from conventions to deliver an unconventional story but lacking solidity. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 27, 2018

There's a maturity struggling to get out, but the director just keeps injecting it with moments that stunt the growth and ultimately fail its ambitions.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 11, 2018

A clever reimagining of werewolf lore using a present-day setting and female twist.

| May 4, 2018

The attention paid to images does not translate to character development, story, or dialogue, leaving little emotional resonance, while making me seriously wonder if the men telling these stories understand much at all about female sexuality.
