In the University of Oregon, the student Holly King (Holly Goss) is awarded with her research about the fate of nine Russian hikers known as The Dyatlov Pass Incident that mysteriously died in the Ural Mountains in Russia in 1959. She decides to make a movie following the steps of Dyatlov and his team and she invites the filmmaker Jenson Day (Matt Stokoe); the audio technician Denise Evers (Gemma Atkinson); and the experienced guides JP Hauser Jr. (Luke Albright) and Andy Thatcher (Ryan Hawley). They travel to Russia expecting to find the truth about the unsolved mystery; but they find death instead.
"The Dyatlov Pass Incident" is another movie that uses "The Blair Witch Project" style of footage and honestly I am tired of the clichés of using handy camera to give the sensation of documentary. But the story of "The Dyatlov Pass Incident" has potential but the screenplay and the conclusion are messy. This movie deserved a better screenplay, specially for the conclusion. My understanding is that Holly and Jenson traveled to the past and died as mutants in 1959. The face of the military looking to the camera gives the sensation that he had never seen that equipment before. The couple that comes to rescue them but are not allowed by the Russian soldiers are Sergei's father and aunt. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "O Mistério da Passagem da Morte" ("The Mystery of the Passage of Death")
