I remember seeing this made for TV movie back in the seventies. It stayed with me very intensely although I couldn't recall its name. I had asked a lot of people about it and everyone said "Prophecy" Not even close by the years separating them. Peter Graves was great as the father of the family. He had earned a solid place in my psyche for it. I remember the the kids as being very independent going into the woods, but after the tragedy, they came to rely more on Graves' decisions and intuition in a situation gone awry. The 70's were great for films like this, heavily pessimistic. Even though the film ends on a good note, there still is the fact that they are pretty much the only ones alive.
