Do you have more then 3 people? If so you could do you're own version of The Most Dangerous Game. Like, 2 of the characters take 3 or 4 other people out hunting....but then it turns out that they plan to hunt the people for sport. Could be cool.

I absolutely love "most dangerous game" and its various reincarnations - surviving the game, hard target, etc. I have been thinking of doing a rehash of one of theose for some time.
I saw an episode of Outer Limits I think where this group of robots were being hunted, and if they got to a certain point they were allowed to stay funtional or something.
Ok, so this has nothing to do with the original post, sorry.
short movie, stuff to do in woods...hmm.
ya ever heard of snipe hunting? it's where you take some people out to the woods to hunt snipe (little bitty birds that can't fly) and you get them out there, and get them lost, and the couple people who know about it ditch them at one point and make them wander around for hours till they figure out there is no such thing and come back to camp...kinda mean but very fun.

The Most Dangerous Game is probably your best bet. I did an adaptation of it for a school project in Grade nine and it was probably the most fun I've ever had making a movie, I know, that seems sort of sad, but it was. The movie was filmed in seven hours over a period of one day, took no money at all to do, was seventeen minutes long, and was the first project I ever edited on an NLE.

By the way, since it was brought up, I was surprised at how good 'Surviving the Game' was, especially the great B movie cast (Rutger Hauer, Gary Busey, F Murray Abraham, Ice T, etc) and the drop dead gorgeous cinematography, at least for a B movie. See it if you have the chance
