Storyline

Peter (John Hargreaves) and Marcia (Briony Behets), a bitter married couple teetering on the edge of divorce, take a camping trip to heal the rift between them. As the weekend progresses, the selfish pair engage in reckless behavior that demonstrates an increasing disrespect for their natural surroundings. When Peter and Marcia become the targets of a series of inexplicable animal attacks, it becomes clear that an angry Mother Nature has come to exact her revenge.



Short Review

Eggleston's direction is surprisingly tense and engaging while the late great Ozploitation writer Everett De Roche's minimalist screenplay speaks volumes in term of its psychological and environmental subtexts.
