We recently brought you the first trailer for IFC Films' Out Come the Wolves. This is the latest from director Adam MacDonald, who also brought us the deadly bear flick Backcountry, which has become an essential entry in the broader canon of bear horror movies. MacDonald is back with another man vs. nature tale, this time focused on a pack of deadly wolves. We have an exclusive sneak peek at a clip from Out Come the Wolves, but first, let's take a look at the official synopsis:
Retired hunter Sophie invites her fellow hunter and childhood best friend Kyle to her family’s secluded cabin deep in the woods. There, she plans for Kyle to meet and teach her fiancé Nolan how to hunt for an article he's writing and to share the news of their engagement. Tensions flare between Kyle and Nolan over their shared history with Sophie, escalating during the hunt that goes awry when they are ambushed by a vicious pack of territorial wolves. As alliances fracture under the pressure of survival, Sophie is forced to rely on her long-abandoned hunting prowess to face the deadly predators and save the one closest to her heart.
The core trio are in a messy love triangle, and the situation only gets messier when wolves arrive. Written by Enuka Okuma (Rookie Blue), starring Missy Peregrym (FBI: Most Wanted), Joris Jarsky (The Changeling) and Damon Runyan (Home Before Dark). Now, let's take a look at that promised clip!
Facing off against a wolf while paired with a romantic rival is not the ideal team-up, as we see in the clip! Thoughts and prayers, gang. Hope they make it out of there alive (and with all limbs intact).
Here's what MacDonald had to say about his upcoming nature horror:
“Out Come the Wolves had a long gestation period. We’ve been dreaming of this project for nearly a decade and it was beginning to feel like our own Fury Road. Now we are here, with the invaluable support from IFC Films and Shudder. My goal was to bring everyone to the edge of their seats till the very last frame. We pushed the limits as far as possible with our amazing Wolf team led by Andrew Simpson. With my collaborator Missy Peregrym, and an incredible creative team, we brought the vision to its full potential. One that will leave a lasting impression, blood, tooth and claw.”
Out Come the Wolves will be released in theaters and on VOD August 30, 2024.
