Black Mountain Side is a 2014 Canadian indie Horror thriller and the first film released by the Canadian production company A Farewell To Kings Entertainment Company. The film centers upon a group of archaeologists who discover an ancient structure buried deep beneath the ice that dates back to 10,000 years before present day, upon the discovery plans begin to go awry, communications fail and not long after they start to feel the effects of the solitude. It premiered on July 30, 2014 at the Fantasia International Film Festival, where it was named best horror film by the critics at Cult Montreal, stating; "Its tension and sense of isolation were unparalleled this year; it is also reminiscent of The Thing and Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. It squarely plants itself in the increasingly popular genre of Canadian horror films addressing the implications of global warming and the subsequent Arctic thaw. The other honourable mentions are Eli Roth’s, The Green Inferno, and Mark Duplass’s Creep."
