Black Mountain Side

No one deserves what happens to them in "Black Mountain Side," but as the deer-head deity would tell you, no one ever said it all had to make sense.

The key to making a relatively low-budget movie is an exceptional script and competent casting director. This picture benefits with a considerable measure of both.

A beautifully-shot, creepy love letter to John Carpenter's The Thing that finds its own identity amid the paranoia and bloodletting.

Black Mountain Side... is a great surprise.
