The premise

1976: Two young journalists leave for the French-Swiss border to investigate a strange case of cattle mutilations and record testimonies for a TV channel. Yet, once they get there, the scientific team they were supposed to meet has gone missing. Escorted by a first-aider, a British biologist and an American forensic investigator, Melissa and David will go looking for the missing team deep into the mountains.

Horror Vault's take

Set in the bitter winter of 1976, two young journalists head to the remote French-Swiss border to investigate a rash of gruesome cattle mutilations — only to find that the scientific team they were meant to rendezvous with has vanished without a trace. Joined by a small, uneasy group of specialists, they push deeper into the unforgiving mountain wilderness with cameras rolling. What they encounter in the cold and the dark goes far beyond anything their assignment prepared them for. Shot in handheld found-footage style, Cold Ground leans hard into atmosphere and creeping dread over cheap thrills.
