Episode 63: Black Mountain Side (2014)

We’re continuing our Halloween-themed month with Black Mountain Side (2014), a very Canadian indie horror film in which a team of archaeologists in a remote northern outpost are driven to madness by a Lovecraftian deer-god. We’re starting to get the impression that you can’t write archaeological horror without parasites crawling under skin and impromptu amputations. But at least this one has actual archaeology in it!
