Backpackers may be encouraged to snap up some
gap year travel insurance after seeing a chilling new film.
A Perfect Getaway stars Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich as a honeymooning couple on a seemingly idyllic trip to Hawaii.
However, things take a turn for the worse when the pair meets thrill-seekers Gina and Nick who appear to have something to hide.
A picturesque backdrop of waterfalls and mountainsides soon gives way to terror when the newly-weds discover a grisly surprise.
Described by the Times as a "postmodern take on the summer popcorn movie", the film is on release throughout the UK from today (August 14th).
Those not put off by the films chills and thrills could visit Hawaii for their own backpacking adventure.
According to GoHawaii.com, the islands of Molokai and Lanai offer ideal hiking terrain.
The site recommends a trek through the "breathtaking" Halawa valley.
