The Dyatlov Pass Incident
In February of 1959, nine Russian hikers ventured into a remote area of the Ural Mountains. Two weeks later, all of them were found dead. What happened is a mystery that has baffled investigators and researchers for decades. It has become known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident. When five ambitious American college students are issued a grant to return to the site of the original events, they gear up with the belief that they can uncover and document the truth of what happened to the supposedly experienced hikers. But what they find is more shocking than anything they could have imagined. Retracing the steps of the Russians' ill-fated journey, the students are plagued by strange and increasingly terrifying phenomena that suggest that in spite of the desolate surroundings, they are not alone. The forces at work in the Dyatlov Pass Incident have been waiting for them.

The first must-see film of the year.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
I stumbled across this movie channel surfing and within 20 minutes I wanted each and every character making the documentary to die slowly and painfully. Every bit of logic and common sense is thrown out the window at every turn. They are all self assured douche bags that, really, deserve to die because of their arrogance. There is so much wrong with this movie that I just can't explain why I am sitting here writing this review as I laugh at their idiocy at how they approach every situation that comes their way. Myself, the second my GPS and compass started malfunctioning for no reason would have made me get the F off the mountain. Holly, our magnificent documentary leader, who is very much like the mule headed dolt that lead her crew to their deaths in "The Blair Witch Project", just is beyond words simple minded. "Oh, everything stopped working properly? Oh, its OK. Don't worry about it! Why did we bother coming then??? We MUST stay!" "Oh, we found a cave with a bunker in it! Hey! I have an idea! Lets open the door without any thought at all of what might be back there! It's why were are HERE! Oh, and lets not tell anyone about it after we get back to camp!" Anyway, I am waiting patiently for them to die and it better be spectacular. I am sure you will be cheering right along with me if you happen to watch this movie.
I mostly want a movie to be unpredictable and interesting, and this one was both.Could have gone higher but for the cheesy dialogue and cliché characters.. and some unreal ism. But overall really enjoyed it!I never watch trailers because I hate that they give away the whole movie.. I would recommend this one.
This movie has a decent bass to its story line. Consistently mentioning the real life incident in almost every scene and there is rarely any scenes where the movie tries to be anything more than about the incident itself.The movie is not spot on with the non fictional side of things, but it's decent enough. As for the fictional characters who are traveling to the original sight, their all different and at times give you an insight as to what it would possibly be like if you were there with them. However, this is not to say they or the script is without its faults. Without giving anything away, all I can say is, its a horror movie, I can almost say it lives up to its name in that sense however its some clichés mixed with a weird and honestly complex ending that let this move down a little.Overall, this movie did a decent job with the mixture of fact and fiction, my advice is, if the real life incident interests you, I would still watch it, just remember the movie will be given a make over, if you just like horror movies, again its a good watch, but I'd advise that you study on the incident first before watching it as the movie does leave out quite a few details. Best quality - A good mixture of fact and fiction Worst quality - perhaps not the best ending.
"Devil's Pass" (aka. "The Dyatlov Pass Incident") is one of those types of movies that sets out to accomplish way to much than it could actively deliver. And to top it off it is even in the God-awful found footage mockumentary genre, complete with the obligatory questionable camera-work.A group of Americans travel to Russia in order to unravel the mystery behind the mysterious Dyatlov expedition, but they eventually find themselves way in over their heads.I must admit that the movie was somewhat of an ordeal to sit through because it was uneventful, incredibly slow-paced and the characters had the personalities and traits of wet cardboard.I loathe the found footage movies, especially with the shoddy and questionable camera-work that is all over the place. When I sit down to watch a movie that I paid money for, then I expect to get a proper movie with proper production value, and not just something that I could have filmed myself.This was a very dull movie experience, and one that I can't recommend to anyone. It is simply just not worth the effort.
