This movie was filmed the way that I enjoy watching movies which is the first person camera view. If all movies (or at least most of them) were filmed this way I would be a happy camper. I was not aware that this was based on a true story until I found the picture above which is a terrifying thought. Five college students set off to find out what happened to the nine skiers who mysteriously died in the Dyatlov Pass incident. In Russia, there is a mountain in which nine skiers were found dead and almost all naked. When the students start investigating the incident, a lot of people do not want to talk about it or have nothing to say about it. Once they get far up the mountain, they realize why. They start to find very large foot prints that start and end in random places where it would be impossible for them to be. While investigating radiation in the mountains, two of the students uncover a door buried in the snow. While they are sleeping that night, an avalanche takes out one of them and most of their supplies. After sending up a flare for help, government officials find them and begin shooting to kill. In an attempt to escape, they pry open the door and hide. Inside of the door they discover what looks to be a lab for experiments and with a little more exploring get ambushed by creatures. It is unknown what the creatures are and how they got there. After being pushed further into the cavern, they find a portal at a dead end. Having no choice but to move forward, both students go through the portal. when they make it through the portal, their bodies are transformed into the creatures and taken to the past. I would have to do some digging, but I don't believe that anyone has ever seen such creatures and if they did I don't know how believeable that may be. I gave this movie a four. It was very well done as most IFC movies are.
