As someone who goes back country hiking and camping often, this movie really hit home and made me consider what I bring on my next trip. The acting and pace was great and I really enjoyed the movie. I did not like the 'artistic' shaky camera-work but fortunately, that was a minor negative in an otherwise great movie!

A low budget film but a great movie! It had me in suspense from the beginning until the end. I definitely recommend watching this movie since it will give you a whole new perspective on the realities of backpacking in foreign country and the importance of being well prepared :)

Nice performances from the leads especially Missy. The movie is a slow burn, but the inflicted pain on screen is brutal and convincing.

This was supposedly "based on a true story" but I'm curious as to the actual "true story" itself. Bears are, for the most part, herbivores (although they eat grubs and other insects) and are not known to attack humans and in most cases, only attack when provoked or when defending their own young.

**Under the limit, but acceptable for being honest!**

I watched the entire film without knowing it was based on the real. Only on the later I came to know that and my stance has changed a bit. Because it's not always about the quality of the product, but something revealing truth is most importan More

For a movie whose one thing is summed up in the Play School theme, "There's a bear in there", there could have been more bear in there. The intial contact with said ursine is magnificent though.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
