The Dyatlov Pass Incident (Renny Harlin, 2013)

The director continues to slip further away from at least getting A-list stars onto his hackish productions with an unwanted addition to the horror/sci-fi sub-genre which involves squealing young American tourists running blithely around the creepy lands of Eastern Europe with a camcorder until coming to a sticky end. Here, a party of intrepid students investigates the real-life mass disappearance of a group of mountaineers in Cold War Russia, but any profit to be gained from having an actual mystery as the basis is eventually left aside as Harlin throws everything but the kitchen sink at them in terms of unearthly menaces, from aliens through the Philadelphia Experiment to zombies. The legacy of The Blair Witch Project has not been a very auspicious one.
