Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A violent yet agreeably goofy throwback to the survival-in-the-woods genre, with shades of Southern Comfort, Deliverance, and even The Blair Witch Project.

fresh:
Christopher Denham's suspenseful survival drama is an ingenious variation on 'The Most Dangerous Game.'

rotten:
Like his ill-fated hunting party, Mr. Denham's plans for his thriller don't turn out quite the way he'd hoped.

fresh:
Its pretensions about humans-becoming-animals aside, "Preservation" is still pretty fun, if paradoxically more so before the blood sport begins.
