10 Best Wilderness Horror Movies

Disliked by critics upon release but since rediscovered as a cult classic, Wilderness is an underrated British horror which melded the so-called hoodie horror of later films such as Cherry Tree Lane, F, and Eden Lake with the "bullied kid's brutal, bloody vengeance" plot of 2008's Tormented.

Lest any other British horrors not get their name drop, it's worth noting that this one also owes a debt to Neil Marshall's The Descent and Dog Soldiers in its "small group shatter under pressure in the desolate wilderness in the face of a shadowy threat."

To be fair, this one predates half those influences, so it's not actually a rip-off.

What Wilderness is, is a gritty indie which sees some juvenile delinquents face all sort of horrors in the titular wilderness after they are sent to atone for driving a fellow juvie inmate to suicide via bullying.

The group are gruesomely offed one-by-one in a tense and terrifying horror that makes full use of its titular unsettling setting, and benefits from a well-rounded turn by then-rising star Toby Kebbell as the film's troubled anti-hero.
