Full Plot Details

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. When they realize they have entered a bear's territory, being lost suddenly becomes the least of their problems. Terror, horror, will, and survival become paramount.

Movie Reviews

Fangoria - 9/10 by Chris AlexanderFor what it intends to do, BACKCOUNTRY is an almost perfectly realized film, making the best of its humble budget and exploiting its stunning locations to maximum effect.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenA survivalist drama made all the more scary since it is based on a true story and since the bears are real, not animatronic.
New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisMr. MacDonald’s ability to notch up dread moment by moment — with a rustle of leaves, the snap of a twig — is all the more impressive given that it takes a while to warm up to the two souls he cuts loose in those woods.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanAlmost traumatically intense. The film continually cranks up the danger, creating a scenario that becomes more and more harrowing with every passing minute. A superb chiller.
Variety - 8/10 by Scott FoundasMacDonald has seen enough horror movies of varying kinds to know what audiences expect, and one of the pleasures of Backcountry is how skillfully it toys with those expectations, setting us up for something like a Mumblecore “Straw Dogs” and ending up somewhere closer to a landlocked “Jaws.”
Mark Reviews Movies - 8/10 by Mark DujsikThis isn't about the bear. [It's] about two people who get in way over their heads in thinking they know nature and each other...
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Justin LoweSolid performances from the small cast and robust visuals will be clear selling points with audiences seeking the raw excitement of an elemental survival film.
Vérité - 8/10 by Anton BitelAs in Open Water and Black Water, nature is a hulking, roaring reality rather than a CGI imitation, brought into alarming contact with the two human characters via skilled wrangling and clever compositing.
OZY - 8/10 by Michael NordineThe vicarious thrills of getting lost in the cinematic wilderness have apparently yet to be exhausted.
BlakeCrane.com - 8/10 by Blake CraneThe anxiety is palpable and various threats are immediately recognizable, communicating how illusory the concept of control is, and how frightening it can be when it's lost.
