Man Vs.

This movie was actually really good and suspenseful. Initially I wanted to give it a higher rating. Well, that was until the last 20 minutes started rolling. They totally ruined the entire movie for me. Without spoiling too much: let's just say that there were some really bad CGI VFX at play (during the aforementioned last 20 minutes).

About the movie itself: it's a typical "filming in the woods, gone wrong" type of movie. But unlike most other movies of this genre they managed to make this one cleverly educational. There are plenty of scenes where the protagonist explains exactly what he's doing. Kind of like a survival guide if you will (there is however a better/more effective way of starting a fire than was shown in the movie).

Final verdict: if it weren't for the crappy ending this movie would have been truly great. What a way to ruin a movie.

A low budget but enjoyable film, there are some errors but nothing that would stop you watching it.

Definitely a cross between Bear Grylls and Predator, but you could probably make that conclusion from the synopsis alone. I was definitely into the movie until the CGI. There is a good chance that I would have been more satisfied with traditional effects like makeup, prosthetics, a mask, or just a guy in a suit.

In a nod to self-filmed survival shows, a TV host is dropped in the remote Canadian wilderness to film himself for 5 days and then get picked up by his production team. Things start to go wrong, and he is convinced someone or something is messing with him. There are a few actual survival tips given in the early parts of the film.

It's probably best not to know too much about what's going on before you've seen it. Thanks to a largely one-man performance by the underrated Chris Diamantopoulos, this film has a believability that another actor wouldn't have been able to carry off alone (imagine going from playing Moe in the three stooges movie to this - amazing).

I was a little puzzled that the image on the poster appeared no place in the film. It was one of the reasons i picked the movie.

just to share my personal opinion about this movie. The movie about a guy filming a man VS nature show ,but things turns into a man VS the unknown . while this movie suffers from some bad acting (the crew-the wife) but the hero of the movie doing a pretty good job and that's all matter because its all about one man surviving scenario , other than that this movie is guaranteed to put you on the edge of your seat , the suspense tension moments , surprises , all are there to make one of the very few good thriller,Sci-Fi movies i saw this year ,though i couldn't help but to compare some scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger Predator movie . also there is some realistic scene about skinning an animal that might anger some people and to those i say please stick on watching Lassie . All in All a pretty good movie 8/10
