Wordiezett So much average
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
pennyrose525 The movie is your typical couple goes into the woods...couple gets lost....couple experiences bad stuff. Who gets out alive? I enjoyed their bravery to use a real bear in the movie. I'm sure it was difficult to work with. Plus having a lower budget the computer effects wouldn't have been the same. I really appreciated the artistic camera angles and forshadowing. It puts you in the state of mind for the next scene and prepares you for what you are to be focusing on. If you like suspense this movie has it. If you're not into movies that are laid out from the beginning, you might want to move on. But I always suggest to give it a chance.
shrimpy321 The beginning is promising, the premise is awesome. But the bear attack was hilarious. Like they cut out a pic of a bear in ms paint and had it moving back and forth lol. The bf's acting is not good. The lady really holds it together. Random stuff in the plot is meaningless and leads nowhere like the gore-toe and creepy woods man - who happens to be coming to the rescue in the end. The ranger giving them trouble at the start too, like what was that all about? anyway give it a miss my guys, its a bit of a laugh but too slow to be worth waiting for it.
williammbrown Movie had intense moments and fair character development. Special effects were pretty good. Why the writer chose to portray him as a complete dumbass that got himself killed is beyond me. He actually wrestled this bear to save his girlfriend. He actually managed to fight off the bear and carry her back to the kayak. Unfortunately, she died from blood loss along the way. He was a hero, braver than most. The writer made him look like a complete waste of space.Shame on the writer for making this story into a "women rule, men drool" scenario. He did everything he could to save her and got 300+ stitches in the process. I will not be recommending this movie to anyone because of this.
Evighat Up until the last few moments, I was ready to give this movie an 8-star rating. Having seen the end, however, i just can't do that. I even feel that a mere 3-star deduction is highly generous. Why? Because I feel cheated. Not only as a movie buff, but also as a man (and I'm not ashamed to say it). Obvious spoilers ahead.I chose to watch this movie to have a break from all the supernatural / run-of-the-mill thriller-horrors out there. I was glad to have found something that is (loosely) inspired by actual events and isn't filled with shallow teenagers acting annoyingly dumb during the first half hour, until things get going at last (I'm usually happy when they start getting offed one by one). In this movie, we witness the ordeal suffered by a man and his girlfriend while in the woods, and we are made to sympathize with them whenever things take an unpleasant turn. First, the girlfriend makes the mistake of talking to a sleazebag and kindly invites him to stay for dinner - the guy, who says he works as a tourist guide, then proceeds to taunt, humiliate and threaten her boyfriend (however subtly), before provoking him in front of her by picking up her panties and making her take them from him with a smirk on his face. I do not think there's a guy in his right state of mind who would not feel repulsed by such behavior. Luckily, the jerk soon leaves and the movie gets straight to the point, as the couple lose their way and end up in the midst of a sea of trees. It does not take long for a huge black bear to show up and begin hunting them. The boyfriend gets massacred quite gruesomely and the girlfriend wanders through the woods, trying to escape. In the end, she uses the last bits of her strength to crawl towards a group of people preparing to enter the woods themselves. Yes, they were tourists, of course. One of them, a young girl, notices the girlfriend and attracts the others' attention to her presence. And guess who turns around and dashes to save her in slow-motion, like the hero that he is (not!)? Our favorite sleazebag tourist guide, obviously!I'll be honest. I found this movie truly engrossing, and I genuinely felt for both the boyfriend and the girlfriend. I can therefore only applaud the film-makers for having achieved that, but would also love to bash their heads in for presenting us with an ending that is not only counterproductive, but even insulting to anyone that sympathizes with the two main characters. It makes me sick!
