Dead Mountaineer's Hotel1979

The premise
The police get a call-out to a lonely hotel in the Alps. When an officer gets to the hotel everything seems to be alright. Suddenly, an avalanche cuts them off from the rest of the world and strange things start happening.
Horror Vault's take
A police inspector answers a routine call to a remote Alpine hotel, only to find himself snowbound after a devastating avalanche severs all contact with the outside world. As the eccentric guests reveal their secrets one by one, the line between the ordinary and the deeply unsettling begins to blur. This Soviet-era Estonian cult curiosity blends noir detective fiction with creeping science-fiction dread, drawing on the literary legacy of the Strugatsky brothers. What begins as a procedural mystery quietly transforms into something far stranger and more unsettling.
