Wilderness Survival for Girls is a 2004 independent thriller film directed by Eli B. Despres and Kim Roberts and starring Jeanette Brox, Ali Humison, Megan Henning, and James Morrison. It was shot in 18 days.[1]
Three soon-to-graduate high school girls stay at a mountain cabin. A stranger named Ed comes to their cabin. They manage to overpower him and tie him to a chair. The film shows the girls' responses to their captive stranger.
Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk said that although the film is not entirely successful, credit is due the writers/directors for their original script.[2] Sid Smith of the Chicago Tribune ended his review by saying that viewers are likely to leave with something to think about.[1] Robert Koehler of Variety commented on James Morrison, "a superb, nuanced and inexplicably underused actor on the big screen, is able to shift between vulnerability and being a real threat in the physically contained yet wide-ranging role."[3]
