Canada's remote wilderness becomes a chilly catalyst for terror as a group of archaeologists uncover a strange structure buried in the snow. As paranoia and mistrust take hold, the researchers turn on each other, encouraged by visions of a mysterious figure lurking at the fringes of the woods. Is the terror real or a hallucination? Whatever they've unleashed is a powerful force they may never comprehend if they survive. (Gryphon Entertainment)

Una sombra de aspecto televisivo de La cosa de Carpenter sin efectos especiales, música y presupuesto de clase A. Supuestamente tocando el lado psicológico. La dimensión misteriosa de la película, que empieza a cobrar fuerza tras una larga nada, podría resultar interesante. Pero la torpeza general de la narración y la actuación poco creíble, además del elenco antipático, la matan.

Black Mountain Side is certainly no horror game-changer, nor is it a film that would be inducted in the Hall of Fame, but it’s the first genre film of the year that’s worth recommending. The hit is its premise: a group of researchers encountering an ancient evil in an uninhabited area; I love that. In the first half, BMS is a bit too slow, perhaps, and doesn’t bring anything interesting, but after the first (and given the development story thus far, pretty unexpected) gore scene, the atmosphere visibly thickens, everything gets significantly darker and more paranoid, leading to a fairly bizarre and transcendental climax, which I really didn’t expect at the beginning. 7/10, but I’m rounding up because it’s very likeable.
