A special offer for people with a strong nervous system – Reddit users chose the most intense horror films that will definitely make your heart beat (a lot) faster, and we picked just five of the best.
1. Green Room, 2015
A little-known punk band, The Ain't Rights, travels through the province trying to make a living. The road leads them to a club for Nazis, where the guys witness a murder. On the one hand, they understand that no one is going to let them off so easily now, but on the other hand, what can they do against a crowd of aggressive, armed skinheads? So far the musicians, locked in a small room, are still alive, but it is not clear how to get out of this situation without casualties.
From the description, Green Room may seem like a high-speed action movie, but in reality this is not entirely true – this...

Maple Syrup Massacre is an editorial series where Joe Lipsett dissects the themes, conventions and contributions of new and classic Canadian horror films. Spoilers follow…
There’s a moment, very late in Tom at the Farm, when the film’s antagonist Francis Longchamp (Pierre-Yves Cardinal) wears a denim jacket with USA emblazoned on the back. The film’s protagonist – Tom – has been held hostage by Francis for several weeks by this point while the pair role play domestic roles in a psychosexual power game. Francis, it should be noted, is also the older brother of Tom’s recently deceased lover and Tom submits to the ruse, in part, because Francis smells and resembles his ex.
At the end of the film, however, Tom finally flees into the Québec woods, steals Francis’ car, and escapes back to the safety of Montreal, the largest city in the province and the third biggest in Canada.

In the first two entries of this series – on Adam MacDonald’s Backcountry and Grant Harvey’s Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning – we spent a fair amount of time talking about the Canadian relationship to wilderness.
The outdoors – whether it be woods, open plains, mountain ranges, or desert valleys – has a mythic quality in Western and horror films. For Canadians, the wilderness is a massive part of our identity: the country has a relatively small population in a massive geographical region of 9M square kilometers.
For reference, that’s 3.9 people per square kilometer, compared to the US’s 35.3. So yeah, we’re a fairly small population in a giant geographical area.

Nine years ago, actor Adam MacDonald made his feature writing and directing debut with an entertaining survival thriller called Backcountry (watch it Here), which starred Missy Peregrym as a woman lost in the wilderness and menaced by a bear. Two and a half years ago, we heard that MacDonald and Peregrym were going to be teaming up for a new survival thriller called Out Come the Wolves – which, as you might guess from the title, will have Peregrym facing off with a pack of ravenous wolves. Now Variety has confirmed that filming is now underway.
MacDonald is directing Out Come the Wolves from a screenplay by Enuka Okuma, based on a story they crafted with actor Joris Jarsky of God’s Country. The story centers on a woman who brings her male best friend to meet her fiancé at her family’s secluded family cabin in the woods. As tensions grow between the two men,...

Camping has a way of making people act unlike themselves. Once the Great Outdoors come into view, power dynamics can shift and that usual sense of self-preservation may or may no longer be intact. That’s certainly what happened when one couple went camping in Backcountry, a film inspired by a 2005 incident in Missinaibi Provincial Park. After arriving at their destination one fateful weekend, the protagonists of this 2014 Canadian horror story gradually succumb to both personal stressors and their merciless surroundings.
In Backcountry, Alex (Jeff Roop) was excited to show girlfriend Jenn (Missy Peregrym) Blackfoot Trail until they’re told the area is closed off for the season. Alex, who had already refused to take a map from the park ranger (Nicholas Campbell), doesn’t verbally state his intentions, but they’re not hard to figure out. So in under two minutes, director Adam MacDonald ensures the audience that this...

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where this month I have a very interesting treat. Those who remember my interview with Alexandra West about the movie Pyewacket know we both loved it, so this month I’m thrilled to have a chat with the film’s director, Adam MacDonald, who you might also know from his film Backcountry and the third season of Slasher.
For this month’s film, we’re taking a look at MacDonald’s favorite of all time, a South Korean thriller from Hong-jin Na called The Chaser (2008). Now, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical based on the synopsis provided by IMDb: A disgraced ex-policeman who runs a small ring of prostitutes finds himself in a race against time when one of his women goes missing.
From that synopsis I was expecting something overly stylized and action-oriented like Taken,...

IFC Midnight and Scream Factory are releasing a ridiculous amount of films this summer, and one of them is Pyewacket, actor/director Adam MacDonald's second feature after Backcountry. Mom/Mrs. Reyes and teenage Leah are struggling in the aftermath of the death of the husband/father of the family. Mom decides she's had enough of drinking too much red wine and crying in bed, and decides to sell the house and leave behind all those memories, much to the chagrin of Leah, who is understandably upset. But she's so upset that she conjures a demon (the laughably named Pyewacket) to kill her mom. Anything that happens thereafter is Leah's fault, so I can't really feel too...

Long-time actor Adam MacDonald has already made exciting waves as a filmmaker with just two features under his belt. 2014's Backcountry was a masterfully suspenseful woods thriller, wherein he employed a restraint that served to punctuate the film's moments of visceral terror. For his new picture, Pyewacket, he puts those same tools to work in a decidedly more supernatural vein of horror. Protagonist Leah (Nicole Munoz) and her mother (The Walking Dead's Laurie Holden) are coping with the loss of their father and husband, both in ill-conceived ways. While her mother turns icy and pores over old photographs while downing endless glasses of red wine, Leah throws herself into a fixation on the dark arts and the occult. Despite how dramatic that sounds, Leah's interest...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the distributor. Level 33 Entertainment is an advertiser on this site. Director: Giorgio Serafini. Writer: Garry Charles. Cast: Eric Balfour, Ladon Drummond, Kristin Cochell, Joe Grisaffi and Larry Wade Carrell. 200 Degrees is a small indie production. From Smoke Hammer Media and West Arts, this film centrally stars Eric Balfour (Backcountry, 2014). He plays the ultra deceitful Ryan Hinds. Trapped in an industrial kiln, there is no way out for Ryan, unless he can face the truth. But, this very unloveable character never integrates, nor lives the truth, in any way. 200 Degrees is very much inspired by James Wan's Saw (2004), especially in setting and plot design. Almost the entire film is housed in one, small room. As well, 200 Degrees is in every way a minimalist production. Almost all interactions take place on a phone, or through a speaker. The entire film rests with Balfour,...

A few details are igniting for Giorgio Serafini's Burn. This film, centrally starring Eric Balfour (Backcountry), involves a trapped stock broker. His life hangs in the balance as a psychopath turns up the heat, in an isolated kiln. Burn also stars: Ladon Drummond, Joe Grisaffi and Kristin Cochell. Slated for a release in early 2017, the film's first poster and trailer are hosted here. Most of the plotline has been discussed above. However, more plot points are revealed in the trailer. In the clip, Ryan is tasked with making a mysterious man 1 million dollars. He must use all of his contacts, as a stock broker, to track down the cash.

If you’re a dog lover, be sure to steer clear of The Pack. Why? Because you’ll either end up fearing your four-legged friends, or cringe during defensive scenes that depict appropriate, but brutal, man-on-canine violence. This isn’t your typical “when animals attack” adventure, thanks to the way director Nick Robertson is able to transform a few pups into dark, deranged reapers from Hell. Much like Adam MacDonald’s Backcountry, which features a hammer-clawed behemoth of a bear, scribe Evan Randall Green finds horror in the most primal situations, and tension never ceases. Robertson continually reminds us that Satan’s lapdogs are on the prowl, either watching from afar, or tearing into flesh with their bone-white teeth.
Did I just become a cat person?
This Australian thriller takes place on a sprawling plot of farmland, as the Wilson family are forced to defend their kingdom from a vicious pack of stray dogs.

Directed by Adam MacDonald
Written by Adam MacDonald
2014, USA
Backcountry is the Candy Crush of the horror movie genre: it’s a well executed, well directed contemporary horror film, that’s enjoyable and re-watchable despite its flaws.
Backcountry (also known as Blackfoot Trail) is the debut feature film from the talented Adam MacDonald, best known for his years of work as a television actor. The film tells the story of a couple who leave the comforts of city life to venture deep into the Canadian hinterlands. However, what they find on their journey challenges both their relationship and their very lives.

A summer camping trip for a little R&R sounds great right about now, doesn’t it? You may be putting that tent back into storage and second-guessing your next trip to the great outdoors after checking out the brand new thriller Backcountry, in theatres Friday.
The movie stars Missy Peregrym of “Rookie Blue” and Jeff Roop as a young couple who take a break from big city life to go on a backwoods hiking trip. With the distractions of modern technology aside, the duo’s quest for peace in the wilderness suddenly looks like a very bad idea when they find themselves lost in the territory of a blood-thirsty black bear with a creepy stranger on their tail.
The horror from writer-director Adam MacDonald (also from “Rookie Blue”) made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and is finally making its way into theatres, just as summer is winding down.

Severed limbs, evil poachers, and a gigantic killer grizzly bear – oh my! That’s exactly what Saw V director David Hackl aims to deliver in his new animalistic thriller, Into The Grizzly Maze, and he certainly doesn’t fail. The film wastes little time introducing viewers to a massive, angry bear who doesn’t take kindly to illegal hunters invading its home turf, so he/she decides to get revenge through his/her own series of grotesque murders. For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction, but when you screw with Mother Nature, that reaction is usually a Hell of a lot worse than normal. Mess with the bull, you get the horns – or in this case, you get the bear claws.

No matter what you walk away thinking of writer/director Adam MacDonald's feature directorial debut Backcountry, you are sure to have been chilled by his menacing use of sound as a couple find themselves lost in the Canadian wilderness. For the sake of complete transparency, I watched the film in a manner MacDonald would most likely frown upon -- on my computer via a screener link -- but with a pair of headphones cranked up I have to admit the salivary grumble of a hungry bear outside the couple's tent, separated by only a thin layer of nylon, was incredibly unsettling. In fact, sound plays a massive role throughout the film to the point a helicopter is heard but not seen, though you have no doubt it was actually there. Where Backcountry struggles, however, is in its story as it stretches, and stretches, and stretches to meet its 92 minute running time.
