3/10
Good idea, but it could have been executed better.

Let me start by saying that I am a horse fanatic! The horses in this movie were gorgeous, and probably one of the biggest expenditures here, along with Mickey Rooney. I am also a big Mickey Rooney fan. I think the movie had a decent storyline, except for the wolf chasing 3 loud teenagers in the daytime, on his own. That part is not entirely realistic, unless it was rabid. That is something that should have been thought out more. As well, why didn't all the parents know the kids were missing the night they went missing. You would think in such a small environment with troubled kids, everyone would know within hours, if 1 child was gone let alone 3. The last portion of the movie would have made more sense if the wolf started stalking the kids at night while they were sleeping, waking them up to chase them up the mountain, while a search is being mounted by the parents. It would have been more dramatic and realistic. I also do agree with some reviews saying the acting is wooden. It really and truly is, even from Mickey. He at least has the excuse of getting older. Keeping in mind though, that it was a low budget film, I think there was a very strong effort, on the part of everyone. Its a shame there wasn't more money in it, the movie could have been amazing!
