After the movie ends the screen reads, '3070 people have gone missing in the Balkan Mountains.' I can't find any data to support this. Could they have stooped low enough to include the people never found due to the Balkan war?
It's a good movie BTW.

I live relatively near the area of Risnjak mountains,and the claim on the end of the movie is entirely untrue,there are no missing persons in those mountains,it is just a false claim that should add the feeling of dread to the movie.It is completely safe in those mountains,no rednecks,the only real danger are the bears :) Many tourists and mountaneers come there,would you think they would come if the missing persons claim was true? Surely not.And the mountains are controlled by rangers as well.The claim is total *beep*

No need to take the final claim seriously. It's something fictional to enhance the viewer's feeling. Once for all, make the difference between fiction and reality.

Look, I'm Romanian. I'm not offended when a movie show that Dracula was a bloodsucker vampire. Dracula is a fictitious character based on a real one:Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler. Vlad was real. Dracula was the creation of Bram Stoker, later moved to celluloid by a lot of filmmakers. Dracula was not real. Stoker, his creator, had "spread something that aint true", as you wrote above. No problem for me, for my people, for my country. We had another (real) problems to be worried about.
What about the Germans? In every war movie(WW II) they are portrayed as dumbs. The hero always approach from behind and cut his throat because, obviously, the German sentinel is deaf. Was this real? No. The German Army was the best trained, equiped and disciplined army at that time.
What about the Americans? No movie without some shootings or murders. Have they a Boogeyman lurking in the dark of the closet? Have they Bloody Mary hiding in the mirror? Is Jason Voorhes stil roaming the woods, chopping innocent teenagers? Is New-York still there or it was teared down by the "Cloverfield" monster? Answer: No, they are fictional characters. They live only inside the movies, for our great pleasure, horror-movies fans.
The same with "the hillbillies" from the Croatian mountains. Don't worry, nobody will be afraid to visit Croatia because of that statement (more than 3000 vanished).
@SkyMarshall7-yes Britt Lapthorne was found dead,not certain whether she was killed or not,most likely it was an accident of her falling off a cliff and then into the sea.And Croatia as a tourist country takes care about the safety of tourists as much as possible,so as a Croat I did find their claim somewhat offensive but most people that watch horror movies learned that claims in the horror movies are not to be trusted :) And I think that their 3000 claim is an offense to anyone´s common sense,that in Europe 3000 people can go missing and that no one really noticed except those filmmakers.

I never going to visit Croatia because there are canibal killers in mauntians. This movie tought me so, thank you movie.
Exactly that :)...
No one over the age of 10 is going to believe this to be a true story.
I am from croatia and a mountaineer, I don't know what the other two guys from croatia on this board are talking about. If anything this movie is going to bring more tourists to Risnjak. There is no such thing as bad press!!!
I just have to warn you that this movie was entirely shot in French Alps, just like the charecter in the begining of the movie said that the scenery reminds her of the Alps... :)
Don't get me wrong, Risnjak is very beautiful but there is no via-ferrata trail in Risnjak or whole Croatia for that matter....
shh, shh. We know you are all cannibal hillybilly croats waiting for us in the mountains. You wont eat me this time.
shareJust like we have chainsaw leatherface human skin wearing freaks here in Texas. Remember they did the same in that movie by stating it was based on true facts and wasn't even close. Other than leatherface was loosely off Ed Gren (who lived up north) cause he would wear the skin of the dead that he killed.

Actually, you should stay away from ANY wilderness areas in Europe as well as the youth hostels mentioned above. Movies like Cold Prey, Hostel & its sequels, and the High Lane have proven that Europe is full of homicidal sadists & cannibals!

Don't forget what Wolf Creek taught us about the Australian wilderness!
shareAh yes, the Australian wilderness! Full of serial killers, hick towns with gangs of murderous teens and their murderous parents (can't remember the movie name), and gigantic 30'+ crocodiles whose primary food source is unsuspecting tourists (Rogue, Black Water).

Basically no continent is safe. And forget living on a ship at sea, that's where Jaws lives. And space is completely out of the question what with the numerous variants of murderous aliens.
