Storyline
An urban couple go camping in the Canadian wilderness - where unimaginable beauty sits alongside our most primal fears. Alex (Jeff Roop) is a seasoned outdoorsman while Jenn (Missy Peregrym), 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. On their first night, deep in the forest, they have an unsettling encounter with Brad (Eric Balfour), a strange alpha male with eyes for Jenn who may or may not be following them. Alex's desire to quickly reach Blackfoot Trail only intensifies. They push further and further into the woods, Alex stubbornly insisting that he remembers the way. After three days their path disappears; they are hopelessly lost. Without food or water, they struggle to find their way back, the harsh conditions bringing out the best and worst in them, pushing their already fragile relationship to the breaking point.
Reviews
Magnificent! One of the best films I've seen this year, Backcountry is simply terrific. Basically the film is about a couple who go camping deep in the wilderness only to be stalked by a creepy hiker (Eric Balfour). If that isn't enough, they get lost in the woods and stumble upon the lair of a territorial black bear.
The film stars Jeff Roop and Missy Peregrym, whom I loved in Stick It, Reaper and Rookie Blue. And she doesn't disappoint here with another fantastic performance.
Watch this film! You will not be disappointed!
Terrifying, shocking but above all brilliant!
