A group of five mountaineers climbing in the remote Scottish highlands make a horrifying discovery: A young girl buried in an underground chamber with only an air-pipe to the surface keeping her alive. She is terrified, de-hydrated and starving. Deciding they must get her to safety, the climbers embark on a dangerous and nerve-racking descent. Unwittingly, they have taken charge of a valuable bounty and are being hunted down by the girl's ruthless kidnappers: desperate men who will stop at nothing to steal her back. Caught up in a terrifying game of cat and mouse, they are in mortal danger with no easy way out.

A Lonely Place to Die review by RP
Rather good chase thriller + excellent climbing sequences
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
From the beginning, the superb Scottish highland scenery provides an astonishingly beautiful backdrop to this rather good low budget British chase thriller. The story goes something like this: Mountain climbers accidentally find a trapped young girl. They rescue her but are chased by ruthless kidnappers, who kill them one by one. The survivors reach a village, but are still pursued. Party out to pay ransom takes revenge on kidnappers. So far, so average – but in this film the action is excellent throughout with much realistic climbing, chases and falls, a certain amount of blood, and the baddies are really bad. If there is a weak spot, it is the scene with the fire parade in the village – with those weird masks it looked like something from 'The Wicker Man' although I understand that there are a number of fire festivals held in Scotland. The acting is pretty good (Melissa George is excellent in the lead role) even if some of the dialogue is a little weak in parts. I enjoyed it and I'll give it 4/5 – highly recommended. [Aside: the 'extras' are also very good – unusually, the 'making of' featurette is well worth watching]
