Backcountry (2014). Genuinely harrowing wilderness survivalist thriller about a couple of young backpackers who run afoul of a vicious predatory bear after they get hopelessly lost in the woods. Missy Peregrym and Jeff Roop are excellent and convincing as the young couple in danger while the scenes with the bear are truly terrifying. Based on a true story, too.

Yes, I enjoyed both of those. Haven't thought of The Naked Prey in ages. Starring and also directed by Cornel Wilde. I tend to forget that he directed a few films later in his career. Just like Ray Milland did.

Across the Great Divide (1976). Really nice family Western about a con man drifter who helps two orphan kids get through the wilderness so they can claim a family inheritance. Robert Logan is very good as the con man while Heather Rattray and Mark Edward Hall are extremely likeable as the kids. Lots of gorgeous scenery in this sweet charming film. From the same folks who did the Wilderness Family movies.

Infinite Storm (2022). Naomi Watts gives a strong and credible performance as a veteran climber and rescue worker who finds herself trapped on top of a mountain by a fierce blizzard. Billy Howle is likewise sturdy and convincing as the sullen young man Watts discovers on the mountain. The pair must work together to keep each other alive. Director Malgorzata Szumowska astutely captures both the beauty and danger of nature as well as brings an immersive approach to the subject matter that proves to be harrowingly effective.
