Killer Mountain (2011; Sheldon Wilson) is a
sci-fi/horror/thriller that keeps upping the ante as it rolls along at a steady
pace, and is much, much better than its generic/unspecific title and Syfy
Original Movie cable-TV pedigree (and accompanying mediocre CGI) would indicate.
To put things into a broader sci-fi/horror B-movie
context, Killer
Mountain
Attack of the Crab Monsters, The Crawling Eye,
Journey to the Center of the Earth (1958), and the Martian sand-shark episode
of The Outer Limits.
It may not be High Art, or shockingly original, but
the best kind of cheap thrill: an engrossing entertainment.
