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.

Just perfect...
From my favorite movies..
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
I don't want to over-sell it, but what's discovered at the end makes it worth watching the entire boiler-plate, lost footage film.Yowza! I ain't seen that explanation before. Loved it.
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.
To perfectly summarize the movie "Devil's Path" using it's very own quote: "You followed a step-by-step plan that killed nine people. What did you think was going to happen?" Don't expect too much from this movie, but it's a decent one nonetheless. The found footage trope has been beaten to the ground by this point, so it does its best to provide an interesting story that only picks up in the latter half of the film.
Sorta kinda, found footage has become what B-horrors were to the 80s: dubious, brutally slammed, chock-full of clichés, low-end – and full of surprises! Within the first 5 minutes of 'Dyatlov I realized I had found the diamond in the dust. Not least because of the core theme – the Urals: The final frontier... where no Western ff crew has gone before.>>>The True Story: In 1959, nine young hikers were found dead at the "Mountain of the Dead". This has become known as "The Dyatlov Pass Incident", named after the leader of the expedition, Igor Dyatlov. Some of the bodies were found to be mutilated, others radioactive contaminated. The rest is – speculation. What's fake, what's real? Who knows, but one thing's for sure: It makes for one absolutely amazing legend – and sets the stage for this film. >>> The Movie: 50 years later, five students shoot an investigation into the mysterious deaths. They take the old trails the Dyatlov expedition took before. Soon they discover that the Dyatlov Pass-myth might be more than just a soviet legend – and get more involved with mysteries than they would care for. Of course, the camera never stops rolling – until the chilling end. 'Dyatlov isn't by any means revolutionary, it doesn't try to redefine the genre in any way whatsoever. Unlike literally hundreds of similar films, it's about as solid and sincere as you are going to get. What transpires is done very convincingly. 'Dyatlov isn't afraid of a sublime cast, the heroine is a stunner, dialogues are sharp and pointed. Pace and story are catchy, no need for pussyfooting in the first place. And best of all, the climax doesn't disappoint either! Really, I can't tell you how many times I've felt angry over the more-buildup-than-payoff issue that plagues found footage. Mercifully, 'Dyatlov leaves nothing to be desired.As much as I am hailing this – 'Dyatlov isn't anywhere near as frostbitten and icy as I've come to expect that from a glacial "horror". And those who love to constantly complain about lack of originality should stay far away. Most, if not all, genre-archetypes can be found inside this. However, if it's proud and pure found footage you're after – then this is after your own heart. Shout-outs to all devotees still gravitating towards the genre: Don't let the haters fool you – this mystery tour is surprisingly cool, also brings a bit of the Urals to your living room, and provides the best ending since Absentia for sure, albeit without heart-stressing scares. Indies that leave you wondering what actually happened are rare. This is one of them.
