Dismal (2006)

What was supposed to be a relaxing long weekend of trout fishing in the wilderness quickly descends into a bloody battle for survival when a pair of over-stressed urbanites cross a reclusive survivalist looking to elude the law in Virginia's Great Dismal Swamp. All Bill Matherson (William Gregory Lee) and Matt Murphy (Scott Miles) wanted was a chance to break their daily routine and catch a few fish. Between Bill's top-of-the-line gear and Matt's comprehensive knowledge of nature, the pair seemed perfectly poised for a peaceful weekend retreat. Though everything starts out well enough, events quickly take a turn for the worst when their gear and canoe both go missing and the pair is forced to fend for themselves in the vast wilderness. Though under normal circumstances they would likely be well equipped to do so, Bill and Matt are soon faced with a variety of obstacles both otherworldly and manmade. From deep in the forest, a human predator named Croaker Norge (Richard Riehle) watches their every move. A dangerous fugitive whose extensive knowledge of the land allows him to skillfully stalk his prey from afar, Norge is ready and willing to do whatever it takes to remain undetected. When Bill and Matt's worried wives convince police and rangers to launch an extensive search for the pair after sensing that something has gone awry, the two would-be weekend warriors are suddenly thrust into a tense battle of wills that constantly shifts from the physical to the psychological, and seems to pit them against something much more deadly than a simple survivalist. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
