Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

What more can be said? It's Blair Witch with snow!

To perfectly summarize the movie "Devil's Path" using it's very own quote: "You followed a step-by-step plan that killed nine people. What did you think was going to happen?" Don't expect too much from this movie, but it's a decent one nonetheless. The found footage trope has been beaten to the ground by this point, so it does its best to provide an interesting story that only picks up in the latter half of the film.

WOW! I mean... WOW! I actually do recommend watching this, because you will never have seen something like this before.The movie starts quite well. + Good actors + Atmosphere + PacingReally, it does well! You like the characters relatively well and the snowy landscape makes you feel "in the mood" for horror. Just 1 small problem.... THE PLOT! It is like they were filming a real documentary in the Ural mountains and then just realized, "uhm... we need to do something?"The main character talks about seeing a door in her dreams - but this is so underwhelming that you forget about it, but sure enough the door is there and they go inside.Inside they just pull the plot straight out of their butts and even though they are in Russia they talk about the Philadelphia experiment and that this is where it must have happened. This comes OUT OF NOWHERE!They add some of the worst CGI that belongs in a 2003 video game and add teleportation and a time travel element, even though this has not been hinted of at all before. It is like the movie missed 1 hour and teleported (hur hur) to the end.You just sit in aw as they just randomly come to the most bizarre conclusions of nuclear power reactors, keeping "things" out, and yes - teleportation, Philadelphia Experiment and time travel, even if none of them can read Cyrillic.When the movie ends you just sit there and wonder - WTF?!Perfect 5/7 WTF?! moment, and therefore worth a watch. Otherwise... 3 stars only because of the opening. NOT SCARY!

My first thoughts on this movie were that it was going to be a documentary the likes of Paranormal Activity. As it turns out it was closer to the Blair Witch Project with one notable exception – it is better than the latter in every way. Not only do a bunch of college kids decide to pay homage to some slasher movies, they go out on a trip to Russia to perform a documentary on an accident nearly fifty years prior. As the mystery unravels, they notice footprints in the snow – yet they disappear out of nowhere. My first instinct on hearing it would take place in Russia's mountain regions, was that it would be a Yeti or some kind of Abominable Snowman. I was pleasantly surprised.This movie, as you would expect being in the horror genre, will quickly switch from good times and actual horror. Not only did this movie build up the characters as usual and throw a few misleads, it finally threw things into the full swing. I can't say this is the same for other types of horror movies which sound like boring home videos with a brief scare right at the end. Also, this movie has a few twists that will not be understood until the very few last scenes of the movie. I definitely recommend this for anyone not getting their scare fix for recent movies.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=2747)
