Humains (2009)
A team of researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. Unfortunately the trip soon turns into a deadly fight for survival when their vehicle crashes into a gully and they find themselves in a fight to the death.
I really enjoyed this French Swiss co-production. The location photography was just gorgeous, a stunning advert for the Alps.
The plot and dialogue kept the film rolling along nicely during the first two acts as we get to know the characters. (Thankfully the film wasn't populated by dim witted teens who argue constantly). The neolithic men were well realised and not hidden in the dark as some films tend to do with their creatures.
The film wasn't especially violent, nor did it need to be, but it had a nice about turn in the final twenty minutes.
An enjoyable film and recommended for those who like their outdoors survival horrors or Bigfoot style films.
