Travis Brown of Horror Movies Uncut recently sat down with Adam MacDonald to discuss the inspiration behind this intense film, his collaborative history with actress Missy Peregrym, and the challenges of bringing wild animals into the mix.
Adam MacDonald’s deep connection with nature, forged in the wilds of Canada where he grew up, is evident in his work. His childhood, spent exploring forests and encountering wildlife, played a significant role in shaping his filmmaking style. "Out Come The Wolves" is an extension of that connection, where nature isn’t just a backdrop but a central character in the story.
"Out Come The Wolves" marks MacDonald’s third collaboration with Missy Peregrym. Their creative partnership has flourished over the years, with Missy consistently bringing depth and intensity to her roles. Her portrayal of a woman navigating complex relationships while facing the threat of nature adds layers to the narrative, making her character’s journey compelling.
At its core, "Out Come The Wolves" explores the dynamics of relationships—particularly the tension that arises when a third party is involved. The film delves into the emotional turmoil of being a third wheel, the subtle power plays, and the underlying insecurities that can surface in such situations. These themes are amplified by the film's wilderness setting, where survival instincts take precedence.
One of the film's most striking elements is the presence of wolves. MacDonald emphasized that "This is not a werewolf movie!" The wolves in "Out Come The Wolves" are portrayed authentically, as wild creatures that embody the raw power of nature. Their role is pivotal, adding a palpable sense of danger and urgency to the story.
"Out Come The Wolves" is a testament to Adam MacDonald’s skill as a filmmaker and his deep understanding of human behavior in extreme situations. His ability to blend suspense, nature, and emotional depth makes this film a must-see for horror and thriller fans alike.
