Renny Harlin's New Horror Movie Gets a Poster

This is one of those situations where I just don’t know what to do. I will explain this in a minute. What we have here is the first poster released for Renny Harlin’s upcoming, as yet untitled movie. Quiet Earth reports that this film is going to be based on an incident that happened back in 1959. It is called the “Dyatlov Pass Incident.”  I had never heard of this before, so I did some research.  

Here is what I found on Wikipedia:

The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959. Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot into heavy snow and a temperature of −30°C. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. Their clothing, when tested, was found to be highly radioactive.

This sounds pretty damn scary to me. However, this is where I run into the dilemma that I spoke of earlier. The concept of the film is definitely one that I would love to sink my teeth into. But given the choice of director, I am not sure what to do. For all of you with shocked looks on your faces right now, I will agree Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger were great movies. Harlin's resume takes a sharp turn for the worse after that. Cutthroat Island, Driven, and The Covenant are not movies to brag about. So, there is the problem I am facing. Will he ruin a great premise, or will he use this as a spring board to get back into our good graces? I guess we can only wait and see. Let us know what you think.

McMurphy Out!
