The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)

Posted by: Sam Doyle | at 15:53 |

The mysterious Dyatlov pass incident is a true story about a group of nine experienced Russian hikers that were found dead in Urals in 1959. Found in various states of decomposition and mutilated, it is still not known what killed them.

This incoherent mess has nothing if anything to do with the mystery, and is yet another blair witch-style found footage film. A group of students embark on a trip to the area where the incident took place hoping to solve the 50 year old mystery.

The first half of the film basically involves the group of annoying American students arsing around in front of the camera, filming the sky and drinking. Until that is, they find some strange footprints outside their tent...and immediately this group of genius's surmise that it is a yeti.

They press on in their quest to solve the mystery. Which eventually finds them running into the Russian army, cheap CGI mutant creatures, and the Philadelphia experiment? Yes that's right the director of this tripe thought it would a good idea to link together two completely unrelated historical mystery's into the plot.

As if the script wasn't bad enough, the acting was terrible. This muddled up mess of a film is probably the worst found footage horror I've seen so far. The only thing I enjoyed about this film was watching the annoying characters getting killed off one by one.

Considering the director made Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger, I think he should have retired while he was ahead.
