Director: Adam MacDonald
A hunting weekend turns into a fight for survival in Out Come the Wolves, a 2024 Canadian thriller directed by Adam MacDonald.
What is Out Come the Wolves about?
Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a man joins his closest friend and her fiance for what should be a quiet hunting trip at a remote cabin. The isolation that first feels peaceful curdles fast once a pack of wolves begins circling the property, and the three companions realize the hunters have become the hunted. Cut off from help and running low on options, they have to rely on instinct, old grudges, and whatever nerve they have left to make it through the night. The film leans into claustrophobic tension rather than jump scares, using the vast, empty backcountry to make the characters feel small and exposed. As supplies dwindle and the wolves grow bolder, cracks in the group's relationships surface alongside the physical danger outside the cabin walls.
Cast & crew
The cast is led by Missy Peregrym, known to genre and procedural audiences alike, alongside Joris Jarsky and Damon Runyan as the friend group whose weekend spirals into crisis. The three actors carry most of the runtime together in tight quarters, and their dynamic is what keeps the survival plot grounded between attack sequences.
Context & significance
Director Adam MacDonald previously made his name with Backcountry, another wilderness survival thriller built around an animal threat and a couple pushed past their limits, and Out Come the Wolves returns to that same territory with a slightly larger ensemble. Canadian genre cinema has produced a steady run of these remote-setting survival stories, trading urban horror tropes for open forest, cold weather, and the simple menace of nature indifferent to human plans.
