Remember that old movie that came out I think in the '80s based on the book The Hatchet. Had a child star at the time, don't remember his name but I just remembered loving that movie when I was young especially after having read the book for school. Have no clue what the hell it was called.

I'm a sucker for survival in the wild movies. I think the last really good one I saw was The Grey.

This looks promising considering it's only got a cast of three. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

ya there's a number of em - got that one with anthony hopkins and the baldwin brothers that's great as well. Just looked it up, "the edge". Love all that stuff. Use to fantasize as a younger man flying over remote areas that my plane would go down so I could do my survival story (not factoring in i'd almost certainly die in the crash).

Yeah, I forgot about The Edge, that's the one where they're being hunted by the bear. It was actually a pretty good flick for the '90s.

I must wonder if this is going to be some sort of modern Jack London type deal like White Fang because of the dog.

Hell, even Alive is a great movie, and also a really good book, even if it's pretty grim. Man vs Nature is just interesting.

Just saw it and it's very good. Pitt and a dog trying to survive out in the woods just works perfectly. Beautiful landscape shots, too.


Really don't click this if you plan to watch.
The wolf scene was intense as fuck. JK Simmons as forest spirit psychopomp was a good move. My only gripe is that they did the same damn thing they do in every movie now: the legacy of a man gets handed off to a woman.
