Let's see. The movie begins with a paranormal Podcaster interviewing the sole survivor of a horrible creature attack. This survivor is a "legendary lawman" of some five years' experience. This legendary lawman begins to tell the history of Bear Claw Mountain. According to his narrative, the residents living near Bear Claw Mountain had traditionally and historically been warned to stay away from the south side of the mountain. Evil, bad juju, that sort of thing. Then, after years of avoiding this area, a stranger comes to town, tells everyone that the waters flowing on the south side of Bear Claw Mountain have miraculous healing powers, and everyone believes him.
Now, let me repeat that.
The lifelong residents of Bear Claw Mountain had historically and superstitiously avoided the south side of the mountain, because bad things happened there. A stranger, who knew absolutely nothing about the Mountain and the evil bad juju there, tells the lifelong residents that the waters in this supposedly evil area have miraculous healing powers... and they just suddenly up and believe him. They just take his word for it, and start going there.
It gets stupider from there.
The "legendary lawman" Then goes on to.tell the story of the Orderly sisters, who went to these miraculous waters so that one of them can be healed of some unnamed malady. The ailing sister reaches towards the black, brackish waters, and a huge, clawed hand reaches back and touches her. Hallelujah; she is healed! Then, the healed sister reaches for the miraculous waters again, and the lower half of her face gets ripped off. The black, tarry muck monster then chases and kills the other sister.
The legendary lawman then tells the tale of his equally legendary lawman grandfather, who lead a search party into evil bad juju country to find the missing Orderly sisters. They find the sisters, or what's left of them. The big, black, tarry muck monster then shows up and kills the entire search party.
Wait. If both of the Orderly sisters were killed, and then the entire search party was killed, who gave the legendary lawman being interviewed for the podcast the precise details of how they all died? There were no witnesses, no survivors.
Well, we're making a cheap-ass horror movie here; we can't be bothered with plot holes, details, and continuity!
We cut to years later, where a professor and some geology students are heading out to investigate and analyze the evil bad juju south side of the mountain, and the usual cheap-ass horror movie hijinks ensue.
This movie blows like a nymphomaniacal hooked at a Viagra convention. Spare yourself the horror of sitting through it.
