Rated PG-13 for language, some suggestive material, and thematic elementsUser review:Surviving the Wild (previously known as “Riley’s Peak”) is essentially a coming of age story. There is humor and emotion, as well as a little bit of language. It’s a good movie for families with adolescent children.It’s a low budget movie but the cinematography is spectacular, showcasing terrific views around Kentucky. It was great seeing some of my favorite outdoor places utilized in the movie. Some locations I recognized were Natural Bridge and Cumberland Falls State Parks, the Kentucky River Palisades and the majestic Red River Gorge Geological Area. The state of Kentucky is prominent in the movie and there is even a brief appearance by Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin.I was excited when I heard about the filming of this movie. I’m a fan of previous roles of Jon Voight and Jamie Kennedy, and I heard that Mr. Voight was very kind to people while in the area for filming.You should give “Surviving the Wild” a watch!
