Plots(1)
Fact: In February of 1959, nine Russian hikers ventured into a remote area of the Ural Mountains in Russia.
Fact: Two weeks later, all nine were found dead.
What happened to them is a mystery that has baffled investigators and researchers for decades. It has become known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
Rumors have attributed their deaths to everything from alien encounters and government conspiracies to supernatural causes. To date, no one has been able to adequately explain what drove nine experienced hikers from their tents so frantically that they ripped through the material from the inside; or how their bodies came to be exposed to such dangerous amounts of radiation that it was still detected weeks later. And no one knows why they were discovered hundreds of yards from their camp, half dressed and with internal injuries including broken ribs and fractured skulls, but with no external wounds at all. The body of one young woman was even missing her tongue.
Present Day: Five ambitious American college students are issued a grant to return to the site of the original events in the belief that they can uncover and document the truth of what happened at Dyatlov's Pass. But what they find is more shocking than anything they could have imagined. Their trek through the Ural Mountains, retracing the steps of that ill-fated journey, is plagued by strange and increasingly terrifying phenomena, all of which suggest that in spite of their desolate surroundings, they are not alone. The forces behind the Dyatlov Pass Incident have been waiting for them.
The students' recently recovered footage – the only clue to what happened to them – was deemed too disturbing for public eyes. But, like everything else connected to Dyatlov's Pass, the truth has found its way out.

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.

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.
