Backcountry (2014) is a Canadian survival thriller directed by Adam MacDonald. The film is loosely based on a true story and follows a young couple, Alex and Jenn, as they venture into the remote wilderness for a hiking trip. What starts as a romantic getaway quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival when they become lost and realize they are being stalked by a bear.

The film is praised for its intense atmosphere, realistic portrayal of wilderness dangers, and the gradual build-up of suspense. Unlike typical survival thrillers, Backcountry keeps the horror grounded in realism, focusing on human vulnerability and the unpredictability of nature. The performances, especially by Missy Peregrym and Jeff Roop, add emotional depth, making the harrowing situations even more gripping.
