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.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
jhmoondance Brilliant film but I would suggest watching the Philadelphia experiment before hand as there's a brief correlation between the two.A strange thought provoking film based on actual events n captures the imagination! Must see for supernatural buffs.
wildblueyonder 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.
nilssonbst WOW! I mean... WOW! I actually do recommend watching this, because you will never have seen something like this before.The movie starts quite well. + Good actors + Atmosphere + PacingReally, it does well! You like the characters relatively well and the snowy landscape makes you feel "in the mood" for horror. Just 1 small problem.... THE PLOT! It is like they were filming a real documentary in the Ural mountains and then just realized, "uhm... we need to do something?"The main character talks about seeing a door in her dreams - but this is so underwhelming that you forget about it, but sure enough the door is there and they go inside.Inside they just pull the plot straight out of their butts and even though they are in Russia they talk about the Philadelphia experiment and that this is where it must have happened. This comes OUT OF NOWHERE!They add some of the worst CGI that belongs in a 2003 video game and add teleportation and a time travel element, even though this has not been hinted of at all before. It is like the movie missed 1 hour and teleported (hur hur) to the end.You just sit in aw as they just randomly come to the most bizarre conclusions of nuclear power reactors, keeping "things" out, and yes - teleportation, Philadelphia Experiment and time travel, even if none of them can read Cyrillic.When the movie ends you just sit there and wonder - WTF?!Perfect 5/7 WTF?! moment, and therefore worth a watch. Otherwise... 3 stars only because of the opening. NOT SCARY!
Paul Magne Haakonsen "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.
