1822, Van Diemen's Land (renamed into Tasmania in 1856) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1361843/. Several convicts escape a penal colony only to find themselves helpless in the vast primordial forests. Only one survives. The true story, which continues beyond film's time frame, is very gruesome. You may read it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Pearce
