Why watch this?
Several bad decisions lure a couple deep into bear country. Not
good.
Plot Summary: A city
couple, Alex and Jenny, take a camping trip deep into the woods.
Alex, who has hiked there once before, plans to propose to Jenny
at a secluded lake he remembers. Against the ranger's warnings,
they embark and soon find themselves lost. Alex can't find the
lake, and the couple starts to spat. That night, a large, hungry
black bear attacks their tent...
Dad's Preview:
This is one tense, frantic
film, whose mood grows more ominous by the minute. We
know these two ill-prepared campers are going to face
serious trouble. The thought of camping in woods, where
bear frequent, gives me the creeps.
