Territorial Behavior

This is one of the best FF films I've seen, and I've seen a lot.

The main character is filming a survival guide documentary in the Montana forests, and it starts off bright and cheerful. The lead is great as Bailey Rhodes. He seems like a well-rounded character; a bit cocky, nerdy, and almost childishly innocent. This is especially true when he first encounters hostility.

I think it's intentionally funny having him slowly contradicting his own advice, and his refusal to acknowledge that he's lost. Instead he's merely momentarily 'disoriented'.

As the film progresses the story becomes increasingly more unnerving, especially as the protagonist is likeable. There's a brilliant practical effect near the end that left an impression on me. Due to some stunning shots and the overall atmosphere of the setting, this is a film I'd watch again.

I get it. It's not 'good' acting. Nobody talks like that on the phone. The sound design is... sub-par.

But, I like this movie a lot. I guarantee you waste a lot of your time anyway. Give it 15 minutes and if you don't crack a smile, turn it off.

But in this world, there are so many people that don't do anything with their life anyway, I give credit to anyone who starts and finishes a project.

This movie is better made than any of the Les Stroud/Stacy Brown, Jr. Movies (f.e. The Pit).

15 mins, turn it off, but it deserves at least 4 stars, if only just because it is a finished project.

I've watched a few survival FF movies with a horror element and I've enjoyed them. But, this one is just plain awful. The main guy can't act. The plot is plodding and goes nowhere. I stuck with it. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Bad acting, unrealistic dialogue and a budget of about 50 bucks from what I could see. This movie had a lot of terrible components and yet for an hour and a half, I sat and watched, mesmerized.

Somehow, the whole of this movie overcomes the dismal sum of its parts. If you can get yourself into the right frame of mind, it's downright fun.

No ominous music. No sweeping landscape views from $10,000 drones. Just a guy in the woods getting increasingly unnerved and desperate, stalked by some persistent menace that's heard but never seen.

I don't know what to tell you. I should be here with the rest of you, crapping all over this low budget affair, yet now that it's over, I'm stunned to find out that I really enjoyed that flick.

If you go into it with low expectations, and if you can somehow get past some of the worst phone conversations you'll ever hear, you might actually have fun with this one. Once you get into the swing of it, you actually feel rather lost in the massive wilderness. And as annoying as the main (and only) character can be, I found myself pulling for him.

Damn the fool for not bringing a lousy Bic, though. Of course, buying one would have blown half the budget, so...

I started watching it and knew what I was in for. Got about 20 minutes in and then I had to keep watching because I've never wanted a character to be killed as much as I wanted this guy to. " I don't want my clothes to get saturated" Was a line about hiking in the rain! This movie reeked.
