Review of Backcountry (2015) by Cyd W — 30 Jul 2016
Very similar to films like Open Water, the film centers on a couple backpacking into the woods, and then shit goes wrong. From getting lost, to mounting discourse, to being stalked and finally attacked by a bear.
What makes you want to stay around are the main actors. Both have great chemistry and you feel for them long before the bear attack or any major catastrophe. The violence is short, but brutal and I think that makes for a more realistic event and it makes you feel for the characters more.
Not the best couple gets lost and bad shit happens to them movie out there, but definitely worth a watch if you like survival movies.
