A police officer is called to an isolated hotel in the middle of the snowy alps. Besides a few eccentric guests everything seems fine. But once an avalanche cuts them off from the outside world strange things begin to happen. Murder, paranoia and the slow descent into a reality of uncertainty. A dense eerie dissonance floods the mind and nothing is what it seems.
Based on the novel from The Strugatsky Brothers (STALKER, HARD TO BE A GOD), DEAD MOUNTAINEER'S HOTEL is a surreal scifi by way of a murder mystery. Awash in inky blacks and bubbling pop-art neons, this moody tech-noir is captivatingly creepy.
