I saw this when it came out a few years ago, and thinking about it, Night reminded me of the worst movie I ever saw, Field of Honor. Don't get me wrong, Everett McGill is a fine actor, and he has done better work after that awful piece of poop. But consider the ff parallels between the two films:
In Field of Honor... An army officer is the only one who survives a surprise attack during the Korean War. His right foot is injured and he limps. The other two survivors are not soldiers, but civilians; a young lady and her younger brother. The officer has a dog for a companion.
In Night of the Wolf... A widow is the only one who goes by horseback from her house to another cottage up the mountains. She falls off her horse and breaks her LEFT ankle Aside from herself, there are two poachers on the loose and her son, who is looking for her. Her only companions are a trapped wolf and its family.
Other than that, Night was the better film.
Can't wait for Grindhouse. See you @ the movies!
