   Is 'backcountry' a good movie?

   • “Backcountry” isn’t a fully developed idea for a movie, but MacDonald’s filmmaking is markedly more imaginative and confident than most of the found-footage/DIY shockfests that have defined so much of horror cinema in the post-“Blair Witch” era (including “Open Water,” which MacDonald cites as an inspiration, but arguably improves upon).

   Is 'backcountry' a good horror movie?

   • MacDonald has seen enough horror movies of varying kinds to know what audiences expect, and one of the pleasures of “Backcountry” is how skillfully it toys with those expectations, setting us up for something like a mumblecore “Straw Dogs” and ending up somewhere closer to a landlocked “Jaws.”

   Is backcountry based on a true story?

   • And so is the case of “Backcountry,” a very-well executed wilderness thriller written and directed by Adam MacDonald and apparently inspired by a true story that the movie made me very much not want to look up, which I suppose may be taken by some to be a token of its effectiveness.

   What makes backcountry so special?

   • But while there is some gore late in the film, what makes Backcountry special is the care and patience it invests in its characters and the quiet, haunting tension of its story line. The imaginary monsters of the human mind, it turns out, can be as dangerous as any wild predator.

   Is Deliverance a classic or a 'backcountry' movie?

   • Not to make an unfair comparison to a classic, but the movie “ Deliverance ” actually followed through on all of the themes that its storyline suggested, while in “Backcountry,” we end up with a storyline in which all but the most elemental stuff winds up as window dressing.

   I thought the film as a whole had pretty good pacing, solid tension, and good conflict. The bear was handled incredibly well. They barely showed anything, no wide shots with interactions between the bear and the performers, just a lot of intense close-ups, and it was really effective.
