The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)


Boo Hiss, this was recommended to me by a usually trusted source, i trust them no longer. Based on the fascinating true life tale of 9 hikers who all died mysteriously and from unexplained injuries whilst trekking in Russia in 1959. Many theories have been discussed, a Yeti, military experiments, Aliens and Avalanches, truly captivating right. Until Renny Harlin gets his hands on it and butchers it it to within an inch of it's life. Using found footage he tells the tale of some irritating, idiot American students making a documentary about the famed incident, they are unprepared for the nonsense they find. It has a little bit of promise and just gets steadily worse, they even roll out another alleged incident called The Philadelphia experiment. Don't bother with this tripe buy a book about it instead.


Better Than This: The Blair Witch Project (1999) Still on of the better found footage films out there, Trollhunter (2010) (Subs) Excellent Nordic fantasy about massive Trolls, The Sacrement (2013) A journalist goes to visit his sister who lives with a cult, but are they all happy really?
