The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)

Ok, I am really into the real incident that inspired this movie, I would do some research on it a little bit before you watch the movie. I think you'll appreciate more. The movie is your basic documentary horror style that a lot of people have been doing lately. This wants to do a college paper on the death of a group of hikers in the Russian mountains in 1959. They were found dead and all fucked up, like mutated and shit. It's creepy as fuck. So this group of college kids plan to go to Russia and figure out what really happened to them, and as in any good horror movie they get there things are going smooth the first day and the shit starts getting fucked up.



It's not really a gory movie, but the story and the history of Dyatlov Pass really make it interesting. Although it is just another basic mocumentary horror movie I thought it was pretty good. The dialog was good, the acting was good, and the story was good. I'm not sure if there is a dvd of it? I found it on Youtube, but check it out.

Terrified (1963 )

Terrified is a black and white picture a psychological thriller more than a gore film almost like "Saw" without all the blood and guts, but its on a gore box set I bought. So I figured I should check it out. The movie starts out in some run down old west city or something and a kid getting buried alive by a masked man. It cuts in with a couple driving peacefully down the road and this lunatic is out trying to run people off the road or play mad games of chicken with unwilling participants.You can only imagine it's the same guy in the mask. I guess it's a good start. The couple pulls into this diner and they are in an up roar over the "near miss". They are introduced to the owner Wesley Blake and he has heard of these car incidents all night. One of these unwilling participants is Ken Lewis who just popped into the diner and he just happens to be writing a mid-term paper on human fear and what better way to research than to hang out in a run down town with a lunatic running around killing people. The whole movie kind of plays off your basic fears the dark, spiders, being lock in a room, drowning and such. I really like it, it must of kept the budget down on film.

I can't say its a really bad movie the acting isn't that bad, the filming is pretty good, and the story line is pretty good too for the time this movie came out. So if you get a chance check it out, it's a classic. You can probably only find it on random horror and gore box sets like the one I got (Gore House Greats)
