The Dyatlov Pass Incident (aka Devil's Pass ~ 2013)
'Found footage' horror, directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea), based on the real-life mysterious deaths of nine hikers in the Russian northern Ural Mountains in 1959. Five modern-day Oregon college students set out to find out what happened to those hikers, and the truth behind the disaster that has become known as 'the Dyatlov Pass Incident'.
It takes some liberties with the (few) known facts, but Harlin apparently spent time in Moscow researching government archives and it has some interesting ideas. The movie was actually filmed in Russia, and the snow-covered scenery is spectacular - although the camera (and cast) seem to spend more time focusing on the 'peaks' of actress and former glamour model Gemma Atkinson (whose naked rear-view is front and centre of the movie's poster) than on the ones around them! The main cast are little-known UK TV actors; I'll give them credit for enduring some obviously harsh conditions, but their acting isn't great. Also (surprisingly, given the director) the film drags at times; a more charismatic cast might have been able to carry it, but here your attention starts to wander. Some poor CGI doesn't help. The film did get some criticism for using a real-life tragedy as a basis for entertainment. Perhaps mindful of that possibility they changed the names of the original victims, but it's blindingly obvious who they are.
The budget was a little over $5 million. With more money and a better cast this could have been pretty good. As it is, 5.5/10 (and that's mostly because of Gemma Atkinson).
