Overview

The story follows Peter and Carla, a married couple experiencing marital difficulties who decide to embark on a camping trip to reconnect. The film is a remake of the 1977 production of the same name originally directed by Colin Eggleston. During their excursion, the couple becomes lost and establishes a campsite on a remote, unmapped beach. While the trip initially appears to be the romantic getaway they intended, the situation deteriorates as the environment turns hostile. After Peter demonstrates a lack of respect for the unspoiled natural habitat, the surrounding wildlife, insects, and nature itself begin to act against the couple. The film has a runtime of one hour and twenty-seven minutes and received a release in the United States on August 14, 2009. It is rated R. The production explores the tension between the couple and the increasingly vengeful natural world they encounter during their ill-fated weekend away.
