Description:
Explosive Adventure From The Director Of THE BEASTMASTER and PHANTASM For five strangers from the city – including a bitter divorcee (Catherine Keener of THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN) and a sullen ex-convict (Dermot Mulroney of MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING) – it was supposed to be the ultimate wilderness challenge: Four weeks at the North Rockies Survival Quest School led by a toughas- nails instructor (Lance Henriksen of ALIENS). But when the group crosses trails with an unstable and sadistic paramilitary squad, a shocking accident turns their nature trek into a desperate struggle for life and death. Mark Rolston (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION), Reggie Bannister (PHANTASM) and Paul Provenza co-star in this rarely seen actiondrama, now fully restored from original vault elements under the personal supervision of writer/director Don Coscarelli.

Rating:  - uneven fight for survival
I had seen this in VHS when it first became available around 1990. As I

He portrays a jailed delinquent being put through camp for rehabilitation purposes. Each character that signs up for the course has their own set of quirks and vague backstories. The clash between the wilderness trainees and the military ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful, overlooked film
This is a seriously underrated film, and one which is well worth your time. A group of disparate characters sign up for one of those "Outward Bound" type classes, and learn that survival in the wilderness is not about who can get to the top of the heap and win the money, but about who you can rely on to help you stay alive.
I love this one. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, and Lance Henriksen plays one of the good guys. Watch for Dermot Mulroney -who met his future wife, Catherine ... Read More
