    A Lonely Place to Die (2011) A group of mountaineers in the Scottish Highlands discover a kidnapped girl and are pursued by her captors. Off to the mountains! For some R&R and… death. Directed by Julian Gilbey, who surprised me with his rowdy and violent Rise of the Footsoldier (2007). Hell yeah! A survival thriller starring Melissa George - who came out in a bunch of horror films (I personally enjoyed): Triangle (2009), Turistas (2006), 30 Days of Night (2007) and The Amityville Horror (2005). Horror-suspense-thriller is her genre, she can sell it. A British adventure horror looming in the realm of “it could happen” or “it’s fairly possible”. Adding fright to an already frightful separation from civilization. You’re on your own…It’s a nail biting ride that slowly edges through the crime genre. Hikers discover a child in the forest “who’s she?” And in a blink of an eye - they fall one by one. There is little information given about the mountaineers and the criminals that surround them. The suspense bit and sudden shocks are what this film’s all about. Yeah, this ain’t an award winner. Some may even call it “stupid” - But if you’re looking for some thrills and death spills, this one’s for you.  What gave this film strength was the foley/sound effects used in death/violent scenes, you can hear ‘em bones break. I cringed a few times. Another thing that kept my interest was one of the criminals - The fat bearded one. He was very horror monster-ish. The scenery and dialogue was… sorta typical, BUT this film got me. I can’t quite put my finger on where or how. Watch it for what it is… a survival/chase thriller.
