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.

This movie could be much shorter and tell exactly the same story. Apart from these long moments it is really not bad. I must say that the lack of explicit gore is a big plus and even tho it is not blood and guts it is scary.
I think that this movie definitely encourages people to take all the possible precautions and to prepare properly for camping in the wilderness. It is a movie about a bear attack no more no less. It shows the fight for survival. The characters are simple and the plot is simple. I don't feel like I lost time watching it but I will most likely not watch it again.
