What Wilderness Permits

About This Movie

What Wilderness Permits is this odd blend of comedy and horror that dives headfirst into the psyche of a man pushed to the brink. Russ McCoy, losing his ranger gig, spirals into a mix of dark humor and surreal moments when he encounters a clueless couple stumbling through the wilderness. The film has this raw, off-kilter atmosphere that feels both unsettling and oddly relatable—like watching a train wreck. Pacing is a bit erratic, but that adds to the tension. The practical effects, although limited, have a certain charm. Performances are a mixed bag, with Russ's descent into madness being both tragic and funny. It’s the uniqueness of the premise and the unexpected twists that give it a peculiar standing in the genre.
