Incredible first feature film by director Adam MacDonald. The acting is so good and natural I can almost see what they're thinking and feeling! Since there are only two main actors in the film, this is an important feature. And Jeff and Missy really are that good! I felt so nervous for them at times!! The film is very well done and despite the small cast, it never gets dull or boring. It is exciting, thrilling and nerve-wrecking from beginning to end.

This is a good film about a bunch of campers who get lost in the woods and end up being stalked by a bear. I was surprised by everything: the acting, atmosphere and production values, everything except the plot which was pretty bare but for a film of this kind it isn't a problem. Backcountry is a film that deserves an audience. (Must watch nature survival feature)

She's a pretty girl :) The movie was good. But the last 1/4 seemed rushed in the writing idk could have been a little better in the last 1/4 from when they got attacked to the end was a 5star and the first 3/4 was a 7star

The first half of the movie is phenomenal. Tension, atmosphere, it's all a pretty good setup. You can kind of tell where things are going as the characters make some dumb choices along the way, but you're still interested. Maybe I'm being hard on them because I have outdoorsman experience, and I know just how stupid a lot of their actions are. But it was all very well-crafted, well-shot, well-directed, and well-acted. The second half? Meh. It went from clever, psychological horror to mindless gorefest in the blink of an eye. I guess this sudden shift of time was supposed to be some shocking movie moment, but really I just went "oh, it's this type of movie now? Ok then." And honestly, the movie it set itself up to be in the first half was far superior. Then you're here thinking, "well, since we've decided to be a gorefest, let's just enjoy a super violent finale!" And you'll be disappointed because the ending they go with is so underwhelming. It's like it tried to go back to the psychological thriller it set up in the first place. Just pick a tone! You want to be an atmosphere piece or you want to show people getting graphically ripped apart by bears? Because if you want to be an atmosphere piece, you can't get off on over-the-top bear maulings, and if you want to be an evil bear movie, you have to give us a gory finale. It tried to do too much and is just a forgettable survival film we've all seen before. With a random scene of a bear eating someone alive.
