Backcountry
Directed by Adam McDonalad
An urban couple go camping in the Canadian wilderness - where unimaginable beauty sits alongside our most primal fears. Alex is a seasoned outdoorsman while Jenn, a corporate lawyer, is not. After much convincing, and against her better judgment, she agrees to let him take her deep into a Provincial Park to one of his favorite spots - the secluded Blackfoot Trail.
An urban couple go camping in the woods and find themselves lost in the territory of a predatory black bear.
Cast: Jeff Roop, Missy Peregrym, Nicholas Campbell, Eric Balfour

Excellent film shows how pride from men leads to incompetence and unnecessary competition that overlooks very real threats and results in a dynamic women must endure in life where they are reliant on those very dynamics and then are forced to survive reality outside of it. Only to ultimately require saving from the same very unsettling trust in that same dynamic again at the end. The gruesome scenes excellently display the horror and pain in a way that makes you empathize harder with the loss that just occured and the complexity of the feelings from earlier tension and discord in their relationship as it pales in comparison to the natural horror that followed.
Bring a gun next time
There is a lot to like in this movie, personally, I like a lot of the build-up, and the quieter moments it has. it lost me a little in some of the parts but overall I think this is well done, and the good parts out way my few nitpicks
Really enjoyed this, had me on the edge of my seat!
Probably the most realistic bear attack movie you'll ever see. Ignore the reviews complaining about not showing the bear enough. When it is shown, it's highly enthralling. Pretty good acting in this one and the characters are really well fleshed out. It's kind of formulaic but still enjoyable and surprising at times.
