Wolf House is about six friends who go on a weekend retreat to the woods. Once there, one of them shoots a large beast that the camera man insists is Bigfoot. They take the supposedly dead animal back to one of their houses and it, of course, jumps up and busts out. Soon, the house is besieged by werewolf type creatures as well as a seeming tribe of painted men.
For this found footage movie, I can say I liked the acting. It was naturalistic, which is important to found footage. The rest of the movie though, woof. The creature effects were kind of lame. The cinematography was so poorly handled, you can't tell what is going on during the scenes of attack or defense. They claimed one of them got eaten when she stepped outside but I don't know how they know that. The confusing addition of a weird Indian tribe muddied the horror waters to where I wasn't sure who I should be afraid of. There is also an unforgivable found footage no-no where a monster picks up the camera and moves it exactly where it needs to be for a future scene for no discernible reason. All these sins and more add up to a movie that had potential but didn't live up to it for me.
I can't recommend Wolf House unless you just really want to see all found footage horror movies.
