Travel movies that will make you re-think travelling

We usually associate travel with luxury with all unicorns and rainbows and spectacular pictures for our social media feed. However, it is equally likely to have a horrible experience while travelling. Here are some films about travelling that will make you re-think your stance. 

Into The Wild (2007) &ndash&nbspSolo travelling is often not all that it&rsquos chalked out to be. Sure it can be liberating to go off on your own but Sean Penn&rsquos Into the Wild confronts us with the dangers of solo travelling. Christopher McCandless (played by Emile Hirsch) is a fresh graduate who decides to hitchhike across America, renouncing all his possessions, and eventually meeting a harrowing end. At your own risk

Hostel (2005) &ndash&nbspThree friends travelling across Europe, sounds exciting Well, you might want to hold in your envy. What starts as an endearing albeit trite friends' trip ends up being a horror fest as they get trapped in a Slovakian underground club with wealthy predators and no clue how to get out. Directed by Eli Roth, this is the first installment in a trilogy but maybe one bad trip should be enough.

Red Eye (2005) &ndash&nbspA Wes Craven film with Cillian Murphy as a terrorist aboard a flight coercing Rachel McAdams to help him blow up the secretary of Homeland Security- it&rsquos exactly as hectic as it sounds. If you have anxiety before flying, watching this one will surely exacerbate that further.

127 Hours (201) &ndash&nbspIn a list of films about vacationing gone wrong, 127 Hours takes the crown. Danny Boyle&rsquos survival drama starring James Franco as an adventurous backpacker will give you a lot of &lsquodon&rsquots&rsquo to follow before deciding to travel solo. After trapping his arm under a boulder while backpacking through a canyon in Utah, Aron Ralston struggles for 127 hours to survive. Key takeaways Always have someone in the know about where you are going.

Deliverance (1972) &ndash&nbspAn old one but one that is definitely worth a mention. Four middle-aged friends decide to go canoeing down a river in northern Georgia before the impending arrival of a dam in the picturesque wilderness ruins the spot for nature lovers. What starts off as a pleasant trip filled with duelling banjo playing with a local boy and dances soon turns sinister with a series of sickening events awaiting them.
