The Frozen

A young couple, Mike and Emma, goes camping in the snow (ya know, like you do) in a rather remote area. They are all by themselves (or are they?) without cell phone reception (of course). After an accident with the snow mobile, they are somewhat stuck and frequently get lost when trying to hike back to their truck, which they left parked some 10 miles away.

Then weird stuff starts happening.

They see (or imagine) a guy with a hunting rifle watching and/or hunting them. One night Mike goes to investigate strange noises (ya know, like you do) they believe to come from the hunter taunting them. He never returns.

The rest of the film, Emma stumbles through the wilderness trying to find her way back to civilization, all the while running from a hunter.

She has a few weird nightmares (visions?) along the way and finally ends up in a small town, where she bursts into a diner begging for help. When no-one reacts and she realizes that one of the patrons is actually the guy she tries to escape from, he explains to her that she died in the snow mobile accident, as did Mike, who didn't give him such a hard time with constantly running once he explained the facts to him. Then Emma takes the hand of the hunter (death? an angel? some spiritual guide?) and walks off into eternal peace.

Or something.
