Once again the weekend went by too quickly and we’re back on the Monday grind. Fortunately the weekend offered some beautiful weather and ample opportunities to gamble. All in all I think we can chalk it up as a win. But you know what you can never, ever chalk up as a win? Getting attacked by a ferocious man eating bear.
Perfectly segwaying into M&F’s SleeperMovie Monday… This week we have we have the movie Backcountry. Backcountry came out in 2014 and stars nobody of importance. But who doesn’t love a good animal attack/stalking movie right? So when I gave Backcountry a chance I didn’t have any real expectations. An hour and a half later I found myself pleasantly surprise.
Backcountry is about an urban couple, Alex and Jenn, that decide to take on the remote wilderness of Canada for some good ol fashioned outdoor fun. However, after some alpha male moments by Alex not asking for directions OR bringing a fucking map, the couple finds themselves completely lost and in the middle of Bear Country. Throughout the movie Jenn constantly foreshadows running into a bear so you know it’s coming. You can feel it. But the film does a good job of saying fuck you and making you wait for shit to hit the fan which I think adds to the thrill. My top 3 fears in life all include being involved in a 1 on 1 battle with some kind of predator. On that is salt water crocodiles, bull sharks, and bears. Bears are fucking terrifying. Have you ever seen the aftermath of a bear attack? I’ve seen some things man and let me tell you those things will FUCK your day up. These things are thousands of pounds, some can climb fucking trees, and full grown grizzlies can run speeds equivalent to a horse. A FUCKING HORSE! In my opinion they are probably the most badass predators on the planet. Put all that in a movie and BAM you have yourself a pleasant little SleeperMovie Monday. Anyways, give it a watch.
M&F Rating: 6.9 (giggity)
