1.5/4

While the film's woodsy frights build competently, director Adam Massey's lack of finesse prevents the viewer's imagination from running as wild as need be.

Mixing 'found' and 'objective' footage as blithely as it blurs genres, Man Vs. starts small before revealing the place of humanity in an unforgiving universe.

2/5

With nothing to justify all its slow meandering towards a lacklustre conclusion, Man Vs. is barely mediocre, and ultimately mostly a huge disappointment.

3.5/5

Man Vs has a simple premise... a smart and tight script, shot economically with a compelling lead and blessedly sparing use of visual effects

We get to the point where the movie has to do something, and that's when Man Vs. reveals its larger game -- and falls apart.

Man Vs. is a prime example of less-is-more filmmaking, in which the slow build is achieved with little more than sound effects and decent acting.

Think “Blair Witch Project” but you get to see the monster at the end and a cliff hanger too.

Man Vs. (2015) The Surprising Discovery (11,968 – 06 Oct 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In Canada, Doug Woods (Chris Diamantopoulos) is a survivalist that presents the reality show Woods Vs. on television with techniques of survival. He travels to the Northern of Toronto with his crew formed by Terry (Drew Nelson), Bill (Michael Cram) and Angie (Kelly Fanson) to meet the guide Duncan (Alex Karzis), who will take him for the wilderness for five days. After that, they will bring him back. Doug records instructions of survival but soon weird things happen in his camp. |He becomes paranoid, believing that his friends a messing with him. Until he has a surprising discovery. “Man Vs.” (2015) is an underrated sci-fi movie, with a tense screenplay. The viewer may guess what is happening with Doug, but the plot point is a surprising discovery. The conclusion is a cliffhanger for a sequel. My vote is seven.

Excellent film. Great acting from the lead. On par with top-tier interesting sci fi and unusually good for horror. Worth a watch over 99% of movies, albeit not perfect.

I was surprised at what I thought would be a b movie, turned out to be pretty damn good! The main character did a great job and I felt his acting was top notch. Pleasantly surprised by how good this was!
