Renny Harlin directs Holly Goss, Matt Stokoe and Luke Albright in this found footage horror where amateur documentary makers travel to the Russia to explore the remote site of an unexplained tragedy.
A rich man’s Blair Witch with minimal tension and teen sitcom acting. Bungs a fair few Fortean theories against the wall in trying to come up with a compelling explanation of the true life mystery. Eventually… and I really mean eventually… resorts to entry level horror shocks without much gore, tension or impact. Was this meant to be PG-13? Hard to see Harlin’s imprint here on the direction.
