Featured review
A solid independent film with a good cast
Eric Balfour was NOT the lead as I suspected he would be since he had second top billing on here, but to me it doesn't matter
Because the couple that were in the lead did a really good job and their relationsship seemed natural, they felt like a real couple and that doesn't always happen in movies so I appreciated that
I can't really say too much about the movie without spoiling it, but basically if you like survival movies give it a go
There were some parts where it felt a little slow and some parts where the camera work was in my opinion a little confusing, it most likely was intended as such but still at points I felt like they went a little overboard with the shaky camera and the intentional out of focus going into focus shots, but overall the movie looks good
It had some genuinely scary moments in it though so yeah it's still very much a good movie that I can recommend
Just now while writing this review read that it was shot in only 16 days and it is the directors debut film, and I must say that shows great promise for the future of this director

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the true story of Jacqueline Perry and Mark Jordan, who in 2005 were attacked by a bear at a campsite in Missinaibi Lake provincial park about 80 kilometers north of Chapleau, Ontario (Canada).
- GoofsIt has been noted that a lake could not be found on the summit of a mountain or hill and thus it is a major writing or character error for the couple to be climbing in search of the lake. But in fact, volcanic and glacial activity can form lakes high up on or at the peak of mountains.
