Devil's Pass
Directed by Renny Harlin
Renny Harlin (DIE HARD 2, CLIFFHANGER) brings one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century to the screen -- the controversial Dyatlov Pass Incident. In February of 1959, nine Russian hikers ventured into a remote area of the Ural Mountains in Russia. Two weeks later, all nine were found dead. Now, 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. But what they find is more shocking than anything they could have imagined. The forces behind the Dyatlov Pass Incident have been waiting for them.
5 young adventurers retrace the steps of a doomed group of hikers in pursuit of a legendary paranormal mystery.
Cast: Gemma Atkinson, Holly Goss, Luke Albright

worthless film that should not exist!
pretty bad and unbelievable
I hate to say this but this movie was just so lacking. It really is a shame because there were so many good elements that could have worked. The actors are not believable as film-makers and don't really seem to have a strong premise as to why they are out on the mountain rather than doing research through interviews and archival material. None of them have strong character development. I confused the three men numerous times before finally getting a handle on who they all were. The jokey "candid" shots are so vapid and there is a lot of useless misogyny that doesn't reflect the time the film was made. (2013 and we are still relying on these sexist tropes? Really?!). The bad CGI people keep mentioning is not a problem in my opinion - IF a film can hold its weight in content. This one didn't do it for me. I feel like the twist was less of an actual twist than it was a COMPLETLY out of left field ending for shock value and not well explored. Absolutely shocked this has 4 skulls on Shudder.
stupid russian horror film!
I have definitely seen worse. This movie is fun and at least entertaining. The effects are dated, of course, but the ending was interesting. Very far out there, but who cares? No one said this was going to be a hardcore documentary or anything. It's something to talk about with your partner when you watch it together. Huge plot hole with the camera/flashlight at the end though.
