Burning Bright (2010)

With a simple set up and a threadbare plot about a sister and brother trapped in a boarded up house while a Tiger stalks them often would sound like a Sci-Fi film of the week. Surprisingly, however, the film actually recalls the best of the Man-Vs-Killing Machine flicks such as Duel.
Duel used its simple premise as a means of catapulting its flawed character into a life or death situation. In that film the character played by Dennis Weaver was depicted as someone who had problems standing up against threatening forces ( a scene at the beginning in the film reveals that he did not come to his wife's aid during a time that many significant others would.) The semi-truck in that sense is just as much a symbol of terror than it is depicted as an obstacle that needs to be overcome in this passive guy's life. It had shades of Ernest Hemingway, as what is the point of living if you cannot take action and fight for what you believe in.
