Between the bad accents, bad makeup and bad boyfriends, you don't have to get lost in the woods to find Backcountry, a genuine "root-for-the-creature" feature. When a film's celebrity power is Haven's Eric Balfour, you know you can trust when they say, "based on a true story" (which means the writers guessed this could probably have happened to someone... somewhere). The pretentious cinematography in this "suspense" film had my friends and I falling asleep until we remembered our riff training. From the annoying characters to their self-inflicted plight, Backcountry is nowhere near deserving of such accolades as featured in their trailer from IFC Midnight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46uwmzTf5nA. "Gripping," "harrowing," and "terrifying?" Maybe, but not in the way they think...
