On Wednesday the 11th, a dangerous psychopath nicknamed the Butcher, who had escaped from an insane asylum for criminals, killed four teenagers. The maniac also had an antique dagger in his possession, which he used the next night to attack Millie, a bored high school girl, but the girl managed to escape. The next day, Friday the 13th, Millie wakes up in an abandoned warehouse in the body of a maniac, and the Butcher himself in a cozy girl’s bedroom in the body of an innocent high school girl. Of course, he is more than happy to go to school, and Millie now has to figure out how to get back into her own body without getting caught by the police.

Christopher Landon’s name in the ‘director’ column was certainly alarming, but I decided to give it a shot, I had to justify my status as a fan of the genre. But I didn’t expect such helpless work.
Well, let’s start with the good stuff, there’s not much of it here. There are a number of spectacular kills, most of which are at the beginning of the film. Although in these too the physics and, in particular, the material resistance are lame. The shooting of ‘The Wild One’ is on a proper level. The sound is okay. There are no more pluses.
My favorite is the rogue girl type in horror movies. Two years ago I praised the girl in ‘Dark Mirror’ (played by India Isley) as an extremely believable image. I noted that real-life outcast schoolgirls rarely represent extremes (‘Carrie’, for example). Here we have the other extreme. You see, the outcast, the freak, the object of constant ridicule in ‘Wildcat’ is a blue-eyed, shapely blonde with correct facial features. That’s good. That’s the kind of girl that’s not popular at school. The ‘Game’?
Oh, ‘The Game’ is a horror comedy. About halfway through the movie, I decided to count the jokes and gags not related to genitals, defecation, sex, LGBT. I counted one. That seems to me to be enough.
I have no desire to discuss mistakes in the script – it is already one continuous error. Error, flavored with a savory modern social currents and problems. In this case, all the ‘social stuff’ does not affect the content in any way. What is left is taken over by flat, one-sided characters and their lame dialogues.
Actors. A bet was obviously made on Vince Vaughn as the little girl in the body of a maniac. He plays so badly and implausibly that he is rather annoying.
As a result, I find it strange to see neutral ratings. ‘Wildebeest’ is a very, very bad movie.
