"KILLER MOUNTAIN"!!!!
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 8:53 pmThis is a really awesome looking new SyFy original about giant creatures that I wanted to share here a while back but I was too tied up with a couple of film festivals I helped at and with other news for our websites. It originally premiered on the channel back in August but is now set to replay there this Saturday at 11:00p.m. alongside "BEHEMOTH"[at 7:00p.m.] and the world premiere of a new sasquatch horror film; "RAGE OF THE YETI"[ at 9:00p.m.] so be sure not to miss it and the others!!!!
4 seperate synopsises;
"Alien doom stands between mountain climbers and the legendary city of Shangri-La."
"Located in Bhutan, Gangkhar Puensum ("Killer
Mountain") is the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.
According to local legend, 6000 meters is the abode of the
Gods, and trespassing is strictly prohibited as a matter of
religious law. But when a research expedition is lost,
billionaire WALTER BURTON hires WARD DONOVAN, the best
climber in the business to lead a rescue mission. Ward
initially resists until he learns that Burton had hired his
ex-girlfriend KATE to lead the missing group. Soon Ward and
his team find themselves on a flight to Bhutan. Upon
arriving at base camp, they hear Kate and her team's frantic
final message for help. It sounds like there was something
else up there, something attacking them, but what could it
be? With Burton's son CREIGHTON along for the climb (Burton
stays at camp), Ward and his team begin their ascent. But
they quickly realize why Gangkhar Puensum has never been
successfully climbed. Some of them won't be
coming back alive. Unbeknownst to them, something slithers
through the shadows and under the ice, following them,
waiting to strike..."
"In a dramatic tale of extreme survival and mysterious
legend, Ward Donovan, and his team of expert climbers are
hired by billionaire Walter Burton to rescue a research team
lost on the world’s highest unclimbed mountain. But amidst
deep crevasses and steep rock faces, Ward discovers an
abandoned temple complex... Is this Shangri-La, the mythical
land of eternal life – the secrets of which Burton would
attain at any cost – or is this something far more sinister?"
"Walter Burton(Andrew Airlie), a wealthy industrialist who sponsors a
climbing expedition in Bhutan. The mission goes awry and he
has to hire another expert climber to rescue the members of
the first climb team. With ulterior motives at play, danger
and mayhem ensue."
