A word to the wise: When watching Wild Country (coming on Lionsgate DVD December 16), one of the few and certainly the goriest horror flick to come out of Scotland, it’s best to click on the subtitles. The dialogue is fast and furious, the brogues intense and some of the slang puzzling, though the action is what most of us count on, and this film delivers.
It’s also important to note that the film is very dark, as most of the action takes place at night, and the widescreen transfer is best viewed in a room with little or no light. True, the movie has a slow start, but once the action picks up, it never abates until the end.
The film begins, and ends, with a birth. Kelly Ann (newcomer Samantha Shields), an unwed teenager, goes through labor only to have the baby immediately whisked away from her...
