This film is not a convensional thriller but I am writing about it as it is a good example of effective build up of tension. In this film the threat is coming from nature and not a person. The resourceful hero uses everything he has with him to help him to survive. For example he uses his ropes to create a seat to stop him from using his energy. this is a very simple story which grips the viewer.
The film shows time going as the time on the video camera is shown several times and then the battery of the camera goes which shows that time is running out.
