Goofs

Although Holly's camera went back in time with her, there was another one containing exactly the same footage inside the hatch. This is the same camera, retrieved by soldiers during the Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959 and brought inside.

Crazy Credits

Several names and words in the final credits start out with some or all of the letters being spelled with Cyrillic script (used in the Russian language). They gradually morph into English.

User Reviews

Nice horror movie

The Dyatlov Pass Incident is unsolved to this time, although most researchers agree that the group was killed because they saw something they were not allowed to see or entered a territory they were not supposed to enter. And it doesn't look like anyone will know what happened. This is very sad.

The movie is not that much about the incident though. It's a good horror which keeps your attention and makes you scared. The ending is also pretty impressing. The sightings of the nature are breathtaking indeed.

I was afraid the movie would insult the memory of the members of Dyatlov group, but thankfully it was not the case. Although they made some factual errors narrating the story.

So if you like horrors you are going to like the movie.
