Backcountry

Backcountry (2015) is a survival horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Alex takes his girlfriend Jenn deep into the Canadian wilderness on a trail he swears he remembers from childhood, refusing to bring a map.

It unravels from there. The path vanishes, there is no phone signal, supplies run thin, and the couple drifts further into the range of an aggressive black bear. Director Adam MacDonald wrings the dread out of small things: stubbornness, pride, one bad call stacked on the next. Missy Peregrym carries the lead, with Jeff Roop and Eric Balfour alongside her. Loosely drawn from a true story, the attack scene plays out so blunt and unblinking that it is hard to shake afterward. If you like lean, monster-free, man-versus-nature horror, this 2015 Canadian film does the job without a single cheap trick. Stream Backcountry online on iFILM.
