Man Vs. (2015, Canada) is a decent film, streaming on Tubi (with ads) about one man trying to film a survival program only to discover he might not be alone in the wilderness.
Doug has a fairly successful 'reality survivalist' TV series but hopes to make it to the networks. His team drops him off in the wilds of northern Ontario for a five-day shoot, with only the bare essentials and several cameras. After the first night, strange events begin to occur and he finds that he is not alone, with someone playing games. Unable to contact his support team, Doug must try to find his own way out.
Chris Diamantopoulos (The Office, Arrested Development) is the focus of most of this film, as he is left to himself in the wilds. He's quite good, though his character can be a jerk toward others.
Some gore and animal mutilation could put some off. While some of the footage is from the viewpoint of the cameras Doug uses most is filmed in a standard format and not as Found Footage. No spoilers, but the film does take a twist once we discover what has been harassing Doug for the past few days. I had not seen the posters which pretty much give it away.
