'Black Mountain' aka 'Black Mountainside' (2014) - Nick Szostakiwskyj.

Coldly set against a desolate, glacial backdrop of an isolated, unremittingly inhospitable mountain range, where a disparate group of frequently boozed, fuzz-faced academics are currently analysing the anomalous data from these singularly unusual ancient artefacts recently retrieved by a partially exposed, crudely jutting entrance/portal to what may or may not be an indigenous, hieroglyphic embossed temple which might descend deep into the earth. If one can get over the almost overwhelming similarity to the chilling terror schematics utilized so splendidly in maestro John Carpenter's immortal tale of dangerously defrosted alien deviltry 'The Thing', director Szostakiwskyj's doomily atmospheric horror movie 'Black Mountain' proves reasonably engaging, robustly constructing an equally oppressive environment for extraordinarily bad things to happen to the grossly ill prepared archaeologists who so fatally unearthed age-old relics that proved to be anything but dormant.

Your degree of enjoyment may depend greatly on how strongly you dig upon the wyrd pagan deity that psychically torments his victims in its singularly bizarre baritone fashion! (Hey! I dug the doomy deer God, but it was a trifle hinkey!) And some of the acting performances seemed a bit 'off' (Michael Dickson) but overall this ice-cold, paranoia-soaked nightmare has some decent grue and the increasingly desperate sense of maddening isolation is creepily maintained until the film's perhaps divisive conclusion.
