A group of people take a backpacking trip through some mountainous terrain. Their timing is rather unfortunate, since the [[GlobalWarming ongoing depletion of ozone layer]] has exposed the animals to higher dozes of UV-radiation, which has driven them mad. "Mad" as in "kill all humans mad".

** And possibly the worst of all is, after Mandy has been attacked by wolves, he sends Frank and the injured Mandy on a different route all by themselves to find help for Mandy, despite the fact that they are his responsibility and they have absolutely zero survival skills or know-how of how to survive in the forest, which is, ironically, the very thing Buckner is paid to do and is supposed to be teaching them. * TheEndOrIsIt: The film ends with the eagle, that has seemingly been leading the animals, flying at the screen, suggesting that danger is not over yet.

* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Buckner, in spades. Every death from those in the group are, even if indirectly, his fault:
** He fails to notice the danger they're in despite the strange behavior of the animals, including the continuous attacks, until it's too late.
** He is not suspicious at all that they find a deserted campsite with the belongings of the campers all in there, and even during the nighttime and the following day, after wolves attacked his group and injured one of them, he chooses to ignore the fact that these missing people haven't returned.
** He continues to press on his original planned path rather than turn back and go to where he first sent Frank and Mandy, where there is a radio, buildings to hide out in, and is a shorter trek than the path he has the group take to reach civilization. This after the group discovers that the stash of food he had been leading them to has been ransacked by the animals.

Their timing is rather unfortunate, since the [[GlobalWarming ongoing depletion of ozone layer]] has exposed the animals to higher dozes of UV-radiation, which has driven them mad.

* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: The ''entire nature''. Or, at least the one residing in higher areas.
* AttemptedRape: Jenson, in his newfound alpha male fervour, decides to rape Beth since he "killed a man for her" and thusly thinks thar he now owns her.
