10 Horror Movies To Watch If You Love The Outdoors

10. Backcountry

Nothing is scarier than realism, which is precisely why Hollywood keeps pumping out animal-attack movies.

Wolves, sharks, and crocodiles are your usual culprits, but when you find yourself deep in the Canadian woods, there's only one culprit you're likely to cross paths with: Bears. 

That's where 2014's Backcountry comes into play. Loosely based on the true story of a black bear attack that occurred a decade earlier, writer and director Adam MacDonald aimed to encapsulate and exhibit the same horrors the real-life couple would've experienced. 

Nature and survival horrors go hand in hand, and Backcountry is a solid entry. It's hard not to get enamoured with the magnificent scenery while there is a bloodthirsty killer bear on the loose, but there are some genuinely great shots in this. The realism conveyed by the film's use of shaky cameras can sometimes be disorienting, but overall, this is a good horror that doesn't rely on cheap tricks and jump scares to get under your skin. 

Backcountry is a thrilling watch that thrusts the viewer into a truly terrifying real-life situation - especially for its bear attack scene, which gives The Revenant a good run for its money.
