- Synopsis:
- Urbanite boyfriend and girlfriend Alex (Jeff Roop) and Jenn (Missy Peregrym) head to the Canadian wild for a romantic getaway. Having visited the woods several times in his life, an overconfident Alex shuns bringing a map or mobile phone and is determined to veer away from the hiking trails into the true wilderness along the secluded Blackfoot Trail. His blind ambition grows stronger when a cocky intruder (Eric Balfour) insinuates Alex is just another soft yuppie pretending to know the area. Before they know it, Alex and Jeff find themselves lost and even worse, they end up stumbling into the hunting grounds of a black bear with a voracious appetite.

Don't go into the woods today. - Blackfoot Trail review by NP
Two's company, and all that. Alex and Jenn, embarking on a backpacking trek through the Canadian forests, are such good company that when Brad joins them, he spoils the balance, no matter how much he ingratiates himself. Jeff Roop and Missy Peregrym play the couple, and Eric Balfour is Brad, and the further he is on screen, the less likeable he seems. The Canadian Ranger, played by Nicholas Campbell, completes the modest main cast list. They're all so well played, it doesn't matter that we have to wait a long time for any of the expected attacks to come.
When they do, they don't disappoint. Director and writer Adam MacDonald, in his debut feature, ensures that tensions are ratcheted up a few notches as the film goes on, with many scenes full of perfectly judged jeopardy that also prove to be surprisingly gory. Only the finale seems a little anti-climactic. My score is 8 out of 10.
