In 7 words or less: Can you survive (watching) Killer Mountain?
Best bits? Ha ha........no
Did it make you think thoughts? The Thing, The Fly, Alien. These are all great creature features and prove that horror does not just reside in the murky depths of ghosts, ghouls, zoms and vamps. But this.....wow, this takes it to another level and not in a good way. Think b-movie, no wait, think straight to dvd. Hold on a minute, how about tv-movie of the week. Nope still not there yet. Try this. Get your phone, turn the camera on, film your sibling/parent/buddy climbing over the sofa pretending it's a mountain and then dress the dog in a combination of black lyca and binbags and them have him/her growl menacingly at your frightened climber. The result will no doubt be better and more watchable than the crap I had to endure watching Killer Mountain. The horror is supposed to come from the creature stalking the mountaineerers. The poster would have you believe it's a giant cobra. Aces. What we actually get is a non-explained cross between a centipede and a lizard which manages to impart zero chills or gasps and it definitely features the worst special effects ever seen (they should actually just be called effects as there is nothing special about them). I think this might be the first ever horror film to be so unscary that it's actually becomes a feel good movie.
Would you watch it again? I'd rather stab out my eyes with a rusty gaffi stick
Rating (out of 100%): This may have supplanted Pluto Nash as the new 'friends birthday present'. Top ten worst films of all time candidate. 8%
