Never Cry Wolf - 1983 - 6/10

Government biologist is assigned to tundra wilderness to study caribou.
In essence, what is thinning the caribou herds? Wolves?
Charles Martin Smith plays the researcher who, ostensibly, goes “native”.
No bonding with any wolves, but becoming tolerated by the pack.
Low-key film feels like a documentary, which is not a bad thing.
As expected, the visuals are sweeping, and this benefits from an evocative Mark Isham score.
“Message” is buried in the film, a sly touch.
