In 1959, nine skiers went missing in a remote area of the Ural mountains in Russia. Two weeks later, all nine were found dead, hundreds of yards from their camp. To this day their deaths have remained a mystery... Years later, five American college students set out to uncover the truth, retracing the steps of the ill-fated expedition, documenting what they find along the way... but what they are about to discover will prove to be more shocking and unexpected than they could ever have imagined.

The screenwriter had a vivid imagination and combined mysterious, unexplained real-life events with horror and sci-fi themes straight out of a horror B- movie that has no place in cinemas. The found-footage concept repeatedly defies all logic, the characters of the American group of adventurers are of no interest and the performances of local Russians are ridiculous (the interviewed grandma inconspicuously reading from her text is just… no comment). There is some proper horror tension in the climax, but the overall product is incredibly inane.

From at least the moment those zombies that look like out of an underfunded video game from the late 90s show up, even the most optimistic can no longer take this movie seriously. The script presents a lot of funny questions (Why did the last three surviving protagonists hid in a bunker that is opened and closed from the outside? How did they figure out how the machine in said bunker worked? Are the creators really serious? etc.). This year, for found footage horror, my bets are on The Conspiracy. The Dyatlov Pass Incident can be easily ignored.
