turbotonio If a bear is stalking you and you are in your tent (and you have bear spray with you) why would you close up the tent as it approaches so that if it comes thru the tent and you need to use the bear spray everyone gets a full blast of pepper spray in the enclosed tent? "Lets wait until the bear comes inside our tent before we use the spray, cuz that'll work!". That's what this character does and it just ruins the building suspense. Theres such tension building, and then that happens and you think to yourself "oh come on!!!". They didn't even have the bear spray in hand when they knew the bear was just outside! You wait until the bear tears thru the zippered up tent to look for the bear spray? Instead of blasting it thru the opening as it's coming towards the tent, he zips the tent up so that if the pepper spray is used, everyone is getting it. After using it once the woman drops it and can't find it, while her boyfriend gets dragged outside and destroyed. Who would stay inside while a loved one is being attacked when you have bear spray? Just very hard to believe that people would behave that way (unless they really are that stupid- then they'd both deserve to be eaten). That scene just totally ruined a decent build up until that point.

foutainoflife This was a solid couple against the elements movie. The acting was decent and while you can see that it is low budget, it never felt cheesy. Not bad at all.

shrimpy321 The beginning is promising, the premise is awesome. But the bear attack was hilarious. Like they cut out a pic of a bear in ms paint and had it moving back and forth lol. The bf's acting is not good. The lady really holds it together. Random stuff in the plot is meaningless and leads nowhere like the gore-toe and creepy woods man - who happens to be coming to the rescue in the end. The ranger giving them trouble at the start too, like what was that all about? anyway give it a miss my guys, its a bit of a laugh but too slow to be worth waiting for it.

Michael Ledo If you happen to peak at the cover while looking at the title, you know it is about an encounter with a bear, that is not going to be pretty. Alex (Jeff Roop) and his girlfriend Jenn (Missy Peregrym) go camping late in the season on a trail he knew as a kid. He doesn't need a map so guess where this goes. It is just a matter of time before our couple who don't know how to play dead, encounter a bear.Now the question of who survives and who doesn't is the only mystery. I was once told you don't have to be the fastest person when running away from a bear, you just can't be the slowest (pushing someone down and tripping are fouls to consider). Rape whistles are not really effective, but if that is all you got...I'm sure some people who are falling flap their arms too.Of course our couple can't just run into a bear. It has to be introduced slowly to build the tension. The encounter was more like a shot of a circus bear yawning with a dubbed roar then show some blood. It was low budget graphic. Not exciting.It is a fair film. I wish they had created a better couple instead of a boring woman and a sad sack.Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Male butt nudity.
