Anyone in the UK see this? I know it just came out a week or so ago. It's the sophomore effort by the guy who's going to helm the Hills Have Eyes sequel. His first film, Deathwatch, was a supposedly okay WWI horror flick (Can't guarantee that, I haven't see it). It's also going to be playing at Austin's Fantastic Fest, which has a lineup of films that makes me want to buy a plane ticket which I cannot afford. Here's a summary (from the FF site):
"Equal parts DELIVERANCE, FRIDAY THE 13th, S.C.U.M. and LORD OF THE FLIES, this intense, smartly-scripted survivalist slasher adventure film will bungee-drop you off the edge of your seat and bash your skull into crimson mountain sludge. UK filmmaker Michael J. Bassett, along with his eclectic ensemble cast (which includes THE DESCENT's Alex Reid and DOG SOLDIERS' Sean Pertwee), has made something truly sensational: an engrossing genre hybrid that plays against conventions to deliver a consistently surprising avalanche of ferocity. Although shot with a proper budget and seasoned cast, this is nonetheless guerilla filmmaking in a most literal sense. Actors and crew were forced to work under grueling environmental conditions throughout the film's Northern Ireland shoot, lending much to the primal energy on-screen. This is Bassett's second full-on genre film following his atmospheric World War 1 shocker Deathwatch. With WILDERNESS, he has proven himself to be a major talent in the new wave of British horror cinema."
And a trailer (plus some clips):

It sounds better than it looks (the trailer’s pretty horrible), so I'll hold my breath.
