Killer Mountain

'11. A mysterious creature terrorizes mountain climbers as they embark on a rescue mission. Starring: Aaron Douglas, Paul Campbell, Torrance Coombs.

Worst belayer ever.

And as much as I would desire that to be the extent of my review I must question the actions of one of the characters. He is looking at a map laying on a table. And blood starts dripping on it from above. And instead of looking up and wondering what the fuck it was, he does the whole "dab 2 fingers into the puddle, and smear it around with the thumb, while looking at it contemplatively".

Also, all these fools gon' die. There are 5 of them roped together. Climbing a sheer rock face. With seemingly no gear. So, I guess if one of them slips, the lot of them are gonna peel off the wall and make a nice cylon splat. In case you weren't aware, Aaron Douglas was a Cylon on Battlestar Galactica.

Apparently when you fly a helicopter so high that the air is too thin, it randomly causes sparks in the cockpit. And thus disappears he who my brother has nicknamed the "Mexican Mustache". Although, reports of his demise were premature. By about 15 seconds.

I hope everyone in this movie dies. They just suck at climbing. In fact, this movie would be pretty darn hilarious if everyone were to die due to various climbing chicaneries. Before they even encounter the monster.

Also, mystery leeches.

Also, it would appear that the Mexican Mustache has survived. But it looks like another one of those things where I say something, only for it to be revealed as untrue 15 seconds later.

Apparently their cams can't hold a person falling (although that was a very poorly place cam), but they can certainly hold an entire helicopter for quite some time.

And now, for something completely different. I'll get back to this at some point.

They seriously suck at cam placement... and how many newtons is a cam rated for that is can hold a helicopter?
