Despairing, Alice heads to a Scottish wildlife retreat, where the story reaches its startling conclusion. Since its original TV run in 1996, Wilderness has been released to video in a shortened "feature film" version. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Sort of interesting. I thought the computer generated transformations were too smooth. I would have liked to have seen some fur growth and cracking bones as she transformed. Story line was believable enough and the acting by Johanna Benyon was good. Solid 2 star rating.

This is a strange movie that manages to maintain attention without resorting to a lot of makeup and special effects. I must say that I was ready for it to end when it did. Wilderness is an average movie that is not a complete waste of time.

This movie is okay, but the description is misleading. The central character is not "a nice Quaker girl" but a modern young urban woman who lived on a farm as a child. I would have liked to see the heroine struggle with her wolf nature set in a rural Quaker community, but the story is a much more typical werewolf plot, with the twist that the wolfgirl is in therapy. Still, the story was adequately developed and the psychiatric sessions are fun. There are excessive and repetitive nude scenes that I did not appreciate, but otherwise I found the movie to be all right.
