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

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

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

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

It all started out ok, with a Young Offenders prison etc, thought this could be quite a good story, but it's no different to any other slasher on an island type film, where everybody gets killed off as some kind of revenge, I hang my head in shame to not only see the Brits (who rarely do Slasher films) to come up with

Bloody British horror about a group of young prison offenders being hunted down on a remote island by a vengeful father and his pack of German Shepherds. Enjoyble survival horror. Fairly straightforward though, nothing too surprising or groundbreaking. If you liked other Brit horrors like Dog Soldiers, The Decent or Severence than this is worth a look.
