No one deserves what happens to them in "Black Mountain Side," but as the deer-head deity would tell you, no one ever said it all had to make sense. Go to Full Review
Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Oct 21, 2020
The key to making a relatively low-budget movie is an exceptional script and competent casting director. This picture benefits with a considerable measure of both. Go to Full Review
Rob Hunter Film School Rejects Mar 1, 2019
A beautifully-shot, creepy love letter to John Carpenter's The Thing that finds its own identity amid the paranoia and bloodletting. Go to Full Review

....the tone is inconsistent, the plot meandering, and the whole film is just way too long. Go to Full Review

Poe R Nov 3, 2018 On cell whole time but it looked stupid and not scary at all.
Sep 1, 2018 I watched it on Tubi. If you liked Carpenter's "The Thing, " you will enjoy it, but more down time. Still, a great Lovecraftian tale as told by a Canadian Indie filmmaker. See more
Aug 29, 2018 NOT THE PERFECT MOVIE, BUT A GERAT ENTERTAINMENT. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF JOHN CARPENTERS THE THING. UNSETTLING AND FUN! See more
Jul 25, 2018 I liked the movie, but I didn't have any expectations going in. I didn't care much for the ending, but the ride was good. And, by the way, that was anything but a deer, but whatever. See more
Abraham R Jun 8, 2018 Black Mountain Side was well executed Lovecraftian horror. The acting was slightly sub par at points but didn't detract from the story. The movie doesn't use jump scares to illicit responses, instead it uses a crawling plot and dialogue. See more
Rey W Feb 4, 2018 SPOILER ALERT! Just plain bad. Don't get me wrong, it had the potential to be an incredible movie and if it had a sequel it really was a good set up for a movie that actually elaborated the plot a bit. But basically nothing added up. Why was the car killed? What was the deal with the squid dna? Why did the base station stop answering? Why did the tribesmen leave/go in the wrong direction? What is the deer good actually? What is his motivation for all the killing if he even says he is the creator of all but not there to teach? What is the reason for exposing himself at all? This movie did nothing but frustrate me with all the unanswered questions and lack of consistency. I am never going to watch another film from this director unless he creates a sequel or explains some of these many many many missing points. See more
