Xin Yue and her boyfriend Shang Hai head into the mountains with three friends. On the drive, Xin Yue looks in the rear view mirror and sees herself running after the van screaming, “don’t go up the mountain!” They stop the van, but there is no one in the road. The rest of the group are skeptical and the group continues up the mountain to set up camp. If only they’d noticed the large plastic bag that covered their windscreen and almost made them drive off the road has followed them to base camp.
The next day Xin Yue remains at base camp while the other four climb the unnamed peak. Whoever reaches it first gets to name it, and Shang Hai wants to name if after Xin Yue.
After radio contact is lost and the climbers disappear from the tracking screen, Xin Yue panics but can do nothing but wait for their return. Later the other climbers return and tell her Shang Hai is dead. But in the middle of the night, Shang Hai returns and tells her the climbers are ghosts who’ve come to kill them. The next day the other climbers tell her Shang Hai is the ghost and he’s trying to kill them.
Who’s alive? Who’s dead? Who cares? This started out pretty interesting, but devolves into a confusing timeline where it’s not clear if this is real, exactly how long they’ve been on the mountain, or which are really the ghosts. Be prepared to go insane as you hear Xin Yue say Shang Hai over and over and over. I wish I’d counted how many times she said it because it became annoyingly infuriating.

| I’m not sure why the bag followed them to camp. |

| Get ready to hear her scream this a lot. |

| The sand doesn’t look like it would hold the tent spike. |
