I had a black-bear inches from my head when I was alone camping in a tent just like the last scene shows. It stayed around most of the night snd was sniffing and scratching and running around. I prayed to God to send protection and not even let it harm the tent and a glow appeared between my head and the back of the tent where it sat.

It was obvious that the bear was lonely and just wanted a hug. When he saw the couple in their tent he was a happy bear and strolled over just to say "How's it going eh? Got any honey?" but the couple were very rude to the bear so of course he was offended and because bears have anger issues, he attacked. This all could have been avoided had they simply just gave the bear a hug.

[@amyfrancis1492]

Loved this movie!! Here's why: • Unfamiliar actors that were believable (for the most part) and that were able to act their way into my caring about their story • The fear is real. I couldn't help but think, " Improbable... But possible". • I was deeply, deeply disturbed during the final tent scene. So much so, that I actually found my hands were shaking. This was probably due to lack of oxygen, because I forgot to breathe while watching. Correction: LISTENING. What we can hear during this scene will shake you to your core. Great film, so happy I stumbled into it! I've been hunting for a similar movie ever since!

[@michaelweston409]

[@kystars]

Amy Francis. hopefully you will get my response 2 years later ;) I also agree with you about the movie. Most bears run away from people unless their babies, cubs, or food is being threatened. So in this case we have a very wild bear on the prowl. but you never know, it could happen. I thought the movie was very interesting and really exciting in the tent. WOW

This is the kind of film making that I knew Canadian film makers and actors were capable of because of their depth .

Keith Scott, a bear expert with the Ministry of Natural Resources, said such attacks are very rare. There's only been four fatalities in Ontario through black bears dating back to about 1978," he said. "This one in this particular case, it's early in the investigation, but it appears to be a predatory-type bear. These bears have learned to and often prey on humans."

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Be prepared when going into the wilderness. Bring map, compass, and necessary navigational skills. Let someone know exactly where you’re going and when you expect to return. Don’t assume that you are safe from bears at a campground; they know campgrounds are handy places for an easy meal. Cook and eat at least 100 ft. from tent site, if possible (not always possible at a campground). Likewise, store food 100+ ft. from tent site, in a bear canister, suspended between two trees, or in a campground bear box. NEVER bring food inside your tent! Change out of your cooking/eating clothes before retiring to your tent; store those with your food. Clear away all food smells before bed. Use a tablecloth to keep food crumbs/spills off the picnic tables at campgrounds, and store that with food items at night. A cowbell, whistle, or air horn will scare off most animals snooping around the campsite looking for food during the night and a can of bear spray is a good idea, just in case (but, obviously, don’t discharge it inside the tent!).

[@hmj8469]

clearly this bear has issues with respecting boundaries. shame on you naughty bear.

[@JFriedM123]

Reminds me of the time my friend was attacked by a black bear in Northern New Mexico. You see this bear rolls up to camp after my dumb ass friend had cooked chicken and forgot to wash his hands. The bear goes up to my 1st friend in his sleeping bag and swats at him. He rolls like a log. Bear goes up to my next friend and he starts freaking out. Well that wasn't a good idea. Bear bites his head and then my other friend fires the shotgun in the air. Bear runs off. Friends skin is hanging from his head. They wrap a towel around it and hike back home. Within 20 minutes the white towel was red. At least he got a piece on sixty minutes.

Pretty damn good. Based on true events & done realistically. Decent acting. Great bear scenes. Bear was very fucking scary. Every campers worse nightmare. Scariest part is this could happen to anyone, especially if they go off trail and are unprepared idiots, which are many. Gruesome & good horror movie.

[@rkygriz]

This move is very atmospheric , beautifully photographed, and the bear attack was as realistic as any description of a real life bear attack ever was- and I've read a great many books on this subject! Be aware that black bears have a tendency to start eating their victims while they are still alive! Don't believe me? See the case of Cynthia Dusel-Bacon who was attacked by a black bear while she was part of a geological survey in Alaska. The bear pinned her down, and started eating the flesh on both of her arms. By a sheer miracle, she was able to use her radio and summon help from a nearby helicopter and was rescued, but she lost both of her arms. If you are a tent camper who enjoys camping anywhere in bear country, this movie should be enough to convince you of the merits of keeping a high caliber handgun( such as a .44 magnum) by your sleeping bag lest you wind up like the guy in this movie does because this has happened in real life many times all across the North American continent ,and in Europe, pretty much wherever bears and other large predators are found. For instance, Timothy Treadwell and Amy Huguenard might still be alive today if they had carried a firearm for protection. Maybe not. But at least a firearm would have given them a fighting chance to survive instead of both of them winding up in the stomach of a hungry grizzly bear!

[@the_last_centurion]

[@JoeHenry1236]

About the only accurate part in this movie is that a Bear attacked. What REALLY HAPPENED IS THAT the Man fought the bear off with a knife but not before the woman was mauled to death.

[@rkygriz]

Correct, Jean. I read about this incident some time ago. The bear attacked and all they had was a knife to defend themselves with. The man stabbed the bear repeatedly, but the woman still died before they could reach help. Here's the real story for any future readers:A black bear that may have learned to prey on humans killed a woman and injured her husband at a provincial park in northern Ontario.Police and wildlife officials were on the hunt for the wounded bear Wednesday and campers have been ordered out of the back country of Missinaibi Lake Provincial Park.Jacqueline Perry and Mark Jordan, both 30, were attacked at a campsite in the provincial park about 80 kilometres north of Chapleau.Ontario Provincial Police said that while the bear was attacking Perry, her husband managed to stab it with a Swiss Army knife in a frantic effort to keep it from dragging his wife into the woods.Perry was a family doctor at Grandview Medical Centre in Cambridge, Ont.The couple were on a two-week holiday, camping and kayaking at a remote campsite when the black bear attacked.OPP Const. Karen Farand said after fighting off the bear, the injured Jordan carried his wife to their kayak and started paddling to the nearest campsite. He yelled for help, and a father and son from Pennsylvania heard him and took Perry into their boat.They soon flagged down another boat with a doctor from North Carolina and an off-duty police officer on board. The doctor tried to treat Perry while the boat continued on to the park office about 10 kilometres away, but Perry succumbed to her injuries."I've lived here all my life and this is a first for me," said Farand. "I can't even imagine what [the couple] went through."Keith Scott, a bear expert with the Ministry of Natural Resources, said such attacks are very rare."There's only been four fatalities in Ontario through black bears dating back to about 1978," he said. "This one in this particular case, it's early in the investigation, but it appears to be a predatory-type bear. These bears have learned to and often prey on humans."There have been a number of bear attacks across Canada this summer.A Manitoba man fended off a black bear in early September, just one week after a black bear killed another man in the province. There have been four grizzly bear attacks in Alberta since June, including a fatal one on a female jogger near Canmore. And a woman in British Columbia was mauled by a bear in May.

[@duckmastersupreme]

Cynthia Dusel-Bacon survived because she made noise, not because of a miracle. Don't play dead with a black bear. Black bears like to eat dead things. Ergo, if you're not moving or squawking when your arm is being chewed, you must be dead! Her making noises saved her life because it startled the bear in a "whoah man, it's moving" sort of way. After she made her livelihood pretty clear (by moving and calling in for backup), the bear moved on to a move easier target; her camping rations.

Omg this movie is so good! I just watched it for the first time today on Netflix and omg it’s prolly my new fav movie

Good movie that's scary, realistic, and an ironic ending! The movie reconfirms why I do not prefer camping for any vacation......

[@mattr.1887]

The filmmakers took some heavy liberties to claim that this was "based on a true story". Also, the bad guy is ultimately portrayed as the good guy. If you can overlook these glaring flaws, it's a decent movie.

This movie sent me into fight or flight mode for the rest of the night. I am now scared to hike

[@victoriaembro7544]

This movie is what sparked my life long fear for bears

[@mahnoorkhan7845]

it made me hate them and not the couple even though they were the uninvited guests and were silly enough to get lost without the assurance of with nonlethal weapons to scare away potential threats except for bear spray and some repellent. i think it was partly because i emphasized so much with them since they were genuinely scared that they didn't know where they were going but understood that it could be/get worse and appeared to be confused what attracted the bear as they didn't bring any food into the tent or around it. we can sit here and say "what did you think was going to happen when they entered into bear territory?" or "of course, they wouldn't survive more than a few days without knowing the way back or having the right navigational tools" but in reality, its realistic to expect nonexperts to critically assess a situation and be as prepared as they can be when they've exhausted their resources and are having to rely on their instincts to keep alive and while all alone. watching the end of the film, i really admired seeing Jenn go into into complete survival mode and tried to use what little knowledge she had as a lawyer and not a adventurer like Alex to make it out alive. the heartful moment when she "respects" the wandering deer made me appreciate nature again despite being exposed to the grimmest parts of nature; i'm so glad she found the canoe, but i could never unsee what happened to Alex or think of him less because of it

[@fabiana7157]

@@mahnoorkhan7845 Alex was a total idiot and got what was coming at him. The bear was not at fault. No need to hate them. They usually avoid humans anyway, these are rare cases of hungry bears.

Backcountry is got to be the frightening movie I have ever seen

[@larryfinklestein4480]

When you go camping you better bring the Glock. Yes, we all know you really need a rifle to stop a bear, but better to go out unloading the clip on the bear.

[@critterlex3872]

Can't do that in Canada though.

[@MrRaymo88]

Larry Finklestein, I don't think a rifle will stop a bear. Not an AR-15 because it's not meant for taking down large game.

[@nicolenicole001]

Just keep shooting it in the head with whatever gun you have until it dies.

[@benmelanson7527]

@@nicolenicole001 sure hitting on spot multiple times may penetrate but by the time you do that you will be taken. 9 mm will not penetrate a bear skull or hide... Maybe the eye. Or if youre lucky and the bullet doesnt get lodged in its ribcage... The heart.

[@Me-lb8nd]

@@critterlex3872 You can if you go through the process of taking a gun safety course and get a license to buy a rifle. You might have some problem though if you have a police record.

[@sbeer99]

so to all the people who blamed the guy for his incompetence: would you have preferred he brought a gun? then movie would be like this: bear attacks, guy shoots bear, the end. or should he have been more reasonable? maybe just go back after he got injured by the canoe? couple paddles over a lake, guy gets hurt, couple paddles back, the end. it's a shame that this movie claims to be based on a true story. the 'true story' was a complete different story. before you judge the 'real' couple please inform yourself. but other than that, I was pretty much entertained by this movie. bear attack was pretty scary. even I wished she had applied the bear spray bit earlier ... ;-)

[@elisabethrivera969]

I love a good bear movie because they are always realistic no matter how good or bad the movie is, but this movie was sad won't say why! but it was very good there was scenes of gruesome that actually made me squirm which I don't do! also some scenes had me on edge of seat, I enjoyed watching it I could watch again

[@DoubleDash28]

I agree great movie!

[@lindsaytruscott3002]

That bear attack scene was horrifying

[@ninjastorm540]

Well dont know where i can review this so ill just do it here. Some spoilers below to so youve been warned. This was an interesting movie at first with just the attention to nature but it kinda fell flat for me cause it took way too much time setting up and i felt some of the characters were being stupid for the plot. The male lead in particular, most of the time I just felt bad for the main girl. Her boyfriend was so incompetent it was ridiculous and pretty much his idiocy and pride screwed them over. I get he had a whole plan to propose at some random lake from childhood (its not even romantic) but if your not an experienced hiker then admit it and don’t let your damn pride get in your way. I mean I don’t know if he even knew pretty basic things of the wilderness. I mean he saw SOOO much warning signs of a bear but completely ignored it or must not even have known. I mean im not even an advend hiker, I just read and I knew how much warning signs were their but he didn’t. I mean this guy saw broken branches, random berries just randomly on the floor and a bad smell (most likely Dung) it even looked like he picked up the berries from dung; The Worst ones were that he saw a rotting dear corpse that looked super recent, he even freaken saw a bear FOOTPRINT early on and ignored it???? WTF???? And he saw the bear footprint before the corpse……. I mean put two and two together dude!! WTF??!!! Its like he was trying to get them killed. I think half way through the warning signs he knew but just didn’t admit it cause he didn’t wanna look bad. Plus he screwed them over with the cell phone. He just didn’t know what he was doing at all but she trusted him and it was basically the blind leading the blind. And the blind is to prideful to admit hes blind…..

good review

[@Tonshmar]

ninjastorm540 Great review 👍🏽 and its "MANY" dammit, "MANY!" 😕

[@MrGraffitiproduction]

ninjastorm540 i couldnt agree more, this film honestly made me angry haha. And when they were in the tent and she used that bear spray for like 4 seconds and still had 8 seconds left on the can and she lost sight of it for when the bear came back?! Like she was just as useless as he was for fuck sake. She didnt know how to pull the safety off either, that took her damn near 15 seconds to figure out alone and then they leave the bag by the fire and shit like everything was sooo stupid and annoying i found myself screaming at the tv and shut the movie off a couple minutes after she ran away and hit her head and woke back up because i couldnt take any more cheesy ass bullshit. Ughhhh im going to smoke a joint now this bitch pissed me off to much..

[@mikaelam.695]

MrGraffitiproduction while I enjoyed the movie, I totally agree that this part made me aggravated. Maybe they were trying to convey shock, but still.

[@mikaelam.695]

ninjastorm540 While I agree, it's also unfortunately realistic for many. Most of us have known someone like his character at one point...and i think it was to be realistic and show people that pride or arrogance doesn't make you invincible.

[@furyofbongos]

There are these things called guns...

[@salheddineyahiaoui2308]

furyofbongos It was obvious that the bear was lonely and just wanted a hug. When he saw the couple in their tent he was a happy bear and strolled over just to say "How's it going eh? Got any honey?" But they ran so it was a little bit offensive to him. that's it

[@sgauden02]

furyofbongos How many people do you know who actually take guns with them on what is supposed to be just a hike in the woods?

[@furyofbongos]

sgauden02 Most people who have concealed carry licenses and actually carry do so all the time. Think of it like an insurance policy, you wouldn't buy a policy that only works for Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you buy a policy that covers every day. The reason to carry is to handle the unexpected.

[@sgauden02]

furyofbongos Okay, maybe some people do, but certainly not EVERYONE.

[@mori5271]

also bear spray does much more than a gun

Another trailer showing the entire movie

[@CrappyScrap]

Plot summarized: A couple go hiking, they get lost due to the guy being an arrogant dumbass, the guy gets eaten alive (after an hour of little to no plot), the girl escapes, credits. And it's NOT a real story. It's at best vaguely inspired by any story of anyone being eaten by a black bear. 90 minutes of my life wasted.

[@moonblink]

so in the end she just gets away? she doesn't kill the bear or anything?

[@2fun55]

Nope, she reached the beach where they left and the tourists found her.

[@Balalaika74]

I actually thought the movie had a pretty creepy atmosphere (despite the story being very unoriginal) and nice scenery. The dialog was shit except for the "guide" scene. I saw a lot of wasted potential.
