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.

Rated: C+

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.

....the tone is inconsistent, the plot meandering, and the whole film is just way too long.

A good movie, well acted with a bunch of unknowns. Keeps you in suspense really well, doesn't rely on gore, the ending is delightfully ambiguous. No it's not The Thing but I mean if that's your main complaint just.... watch The Thing, man?

Slow and boring. What looks like a lot like, 'The Thing', sinks in to a slow drudge of a film, a couple of decent ideas and a few ill-timed jokes, the zombie performances needed a lot more love.

Amazing movie for low budget. Its a slowly built psychological / lovecraftian tale. SPOILER ALERT Researchers are contaminated by some sort of virus or bacteria from an ancient site under the ice, they individually start to go mad with some patterns present to all of them. There really isn't any other premise except for what you make of it, and although the plot does bring some extra bits of information about whats going on, it is never enough to make a clear picture.

Cinematography too dark. Plot kind of makes sense, but ending is just plain stupid. Creature effects are laughable.

Wow, this was really bad. We thought that it was written by AI but being from 2014 unfortunately it doesn’t even have that to redeem itself.

Slow paced, low budget, poor, acting, waste of time. Sometimes I forget to look to see how many reviews a movie has. I think five is the minimum to receive a tomatometer rating. It seems like films with six or less reviews, have been reviewed by the six people that the director knows personally or something… Because Every time I watch a Movie with less than six reviews, it usually sucks. It's a little more difficult to pay two or 300 people to review your movie favorably... I should've read the reviews from customers. Nobody likes this movie.
