The Dyatlov Pass Incident

From at least the moment those zombies that look like out of an underfunded video game from the late 90s show up, even the most optimistic can no longer take this movie seriously. The script presents a lot of funny questions (Why did the last three surviving protagonists hid in a bunker that is opened and closed from the outside? How did they figure out how the machine in said bunker worked? Are the creators really serious? etc.). This year, for found footage horror, my bets are on The Conspiracy. The Dyatlov Pass Incident can be easily ignored. (30/06/2013)

I knew I shouldn't expect much from it, but exactly the visions I had about this movie were fulfilled. I wouldn't mind a little more fantasy, I actually enjoy seeking it out. The surroundings of the Russian snowy desert were also incredibly captivating, and for one, and probably the only scene, I give a big thumbs up, it's just a shame it wasn't a bit longer, but my heart almost stopped while watching it. The humorous lines also worked occasionally. However, the mistake was the selection of actors, the reveal of that evil, the point, and the effects. The atmosphere was also pretty much zero. So, in the end, not much positive was found. (02/05/2013)

The screenwriter had a vivid imagination and combined mysterious, unexplained real-life events with horror and sci-fi themes straight out of a horror B- movie that has no place in cinemas. The found-footage concept repeatedly defies all logic, the characters of the American group of adventurers are of no interest and the performances of local Russians are ridiculous (the interviewed grandma inconspicuously reading from her text is just… no comment). There is some proper horror tension in the climax, but the overall product is incredibly inane. (02/05/2013)
