Devil's Pass

JUST LIKE BLAIR WITCH PATHETIC

Bad CGI, bad acting, but still it was okay

Totally surprised on this. The ending shocked me with the teleportation technology learned in the Philadelphia Experiment, did not see that coming and it tied the ending in perfectly with the original Dyatlov pass crew it was so original and unexpected. The crappy CGI in the very end took this down a notch but really clever and fun movie

A found footage film that takes a real-life event and offers a possible explanation as to how and why it happened. It's not seamless in blending genres, but it's still interesting, intriguing and original in its exploration, and it does deserve more credit for taking a pretty big swath with the third act that's also rooted in history. It's not for everyone, but it's still good whether you like it or not. My biggest complaint is some of the visual effects could've been handled better.

It was really good to start but the ending felt so weird and out of place. like they forgot what the movie was about. looked like a video game cutscene. stupid. >:(

It is a typical found footage. The protagonists go party the night before the journey is always a must for every found footage trip. Like the Chernobyl Diaries, we encounter some likeable guides from that part of the world. Eventually, the group goes into territory that the guides won't venture to. They are warned by a now aging survivor of the 1959 Dystlov tragedy to STAY AWAY! They push forward anyways. We are not dealing with the best and brightest of Oregon U but they are fun to watch and I recommend this for a fun time.

Found footage based on true events "Devil's Pass" or "The Dyatlov Pass Incident" was full of ambition, brimming over its fill with ideas and twists. I completely enjoyed this movie, but think it was a little too far-fetched for its own good. Some parts were startling, like background menaces during the scenes where I found myself watching on for more "easter eggs." The ending of the movie became rampantly action-packed which was sort of disappointing. Where I wanted more jump-scares, the movie passed with tensity and bleak atmospheres. Based on true events, I felt more should have been added to the desperation of the survival elements through the mountain climbing parts of the film. Although it laid flat and did its job, I think more could have been emphasized about the harsh climate conditions of the mountains, and more could easily have been added to the cinematography. Specializing on effects with the threats of the movie worked well but should not have marginalized the scenery which was downplayed. I really liked this movie and would have liked even more to have given it a much better review. Through the forced portions of the found footage aspects, it lost points.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident is a fascinating mystery, and this could have been a good film had it not turned goofy toward the end. I personally enjoyed the build up far more, but even then this is another mediocre entry in the found-footage genre.

the film is pretty good to start in terms of found footage quality, but the ending is ruined by underwhelming cgi which would have been much better performed by real humans and/or prosthetics. conceptually, the ending is quite cool if it implied what i think it did.

While this movie is far from perfect, I honestly cannot think of how a found-footage "sequel" to the real Devil's Pass mystery could be any better. There's some genuine mystery at the story, with some true moments of tension, and the Act 2 twist of how much the heroes are in danger does add a bit of serious intensity, even if this twist does feel a bit conjured and slightly obvious. I do wonder, however, if some of the dislike people have with this movie is from the final twist, but honestly, I kinda loved it -- if nothing else, it's genuinely horrifying, and one I most certainly did not see coming. Okay, once COULD say the same about the ending of The Chernobyl Diaries, however the big difference here is that this ending works perfectly with everything up to this point in the movie. With that, one of the most frequent attributes in Horror cinema is the emotionally unsatisfying ending, and honestly, this is easily the best of these I've seen this side of the first Sinister movie. As far as Found Footage movies go, this really is among the very best.
