A Lonely Place To Die

This is one visually spectacular, thrilling movie. Shot in the mountains of Scotland it's about a group of hikers risking their lives climbing the highlands. On one not-so-fine-a day, one of them hears a voice coming from under the ground and they look and find an underground cell in which they discover a scared girl. 

Surely someone has kept her there and whoever has done so isn't going to be to happy to find her missing. And surely they can't be such pleasant fellows.



So from just risking their lives for the thrill of mountaineering and hiking they now risk their lives to save the little girl.

Taking the girl with them they make their way to what they think is safety but the bad guys are mighty pissed off now and begin to hunt the hikers one by one, bumping them off in the lonely highlands.

This surely is a lonely place so let me use the classic line from Alien (1979) - In the highlands no one can hear you scream!

Well, they do say no good deed goes unpunished!

This is a pacy and racy film, all hectic and running and hiding and killing and climbing and falling down and shooting and jumping and bodies and a beautiful girl taking on and winning against the might of trained evil men and all.

All it lacks is a twist in the tale, a last final punch in the gut. But still this is worth a watch. Full on unadulterated, adrenaline pumping excitement! Could have been better, but still is good enough for a watch.
