Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail 11/13/2015
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. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 06/03/2015
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Di Golding Dear Cast and Crew 12/10/2018
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 Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Chris Knight National Post 11/12/2015
3/4
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. Go to Full Review

Claudio C Oct 6 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. Title (Brazil): Not Available My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Mike M May 3 Loved it! Great story. Very original. See more Alex W 06/05/2024 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. See more 05/13/2022 This would make an interesting TV series. I find myself curious about what happens next. See more 08/16/2021 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! See more 09/11/2020 Oh my god. This movie begins with an absolute stellar premise. It has a wonderful slow build with what at first seems to be a relatively underwhelming climax. A great psychological thriller movie for the majority of the movie and in the last about 15 minutes it goes off the wall batshiz crazy. I absolutely loved it. Just the pure insanity of this movies ending took it from a 3.5 to 5 for me. I was honestly ticked off that the first part of the movie was so slow when their ending was so wild. They ended up smooshing two movies into one with this movie and while I love both concepts so much. I was left wanting with the ending though. It feels like their should be a sequel to the movie they set up in the last 15 minutes. I do kind of wish they had left this movie ending at the final camp sit and then just done a sequel movie for the rest of it. Still though freaking amazing movie, amazing concept, incredibly good CGI considering the budget, and the main actor really caries the film. I will definitely watch this again and probably force some friend to endure it too. If you love dumb, low budget horror movies then this is absolutely the movie for you. See more Read all reviews
