Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel (2027) is a Russian detective thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Alexander Domogarov Jr. adapts the Strugatsky brothers' 1970 novel, with Yevgeny Tsyganov and Sergei Makovecky in the lead roles.

Inspector Glebsky receives an anonymous tip warning of a murder and travels to a small alpine hotel to investigate. An avalanche seals the gorge that same evening — and by morning there's a body among the guests. No clear motive, no obvious culprit, no helpful evidence. Everyone trapped inside is hiding something. Svetlana Khodchenkova, Alyona Mikhailova, and Alexander Baluev round out the ensemble.

The Strugatskys built their novel as a genre trap: it opens as a whodunit and quietly becomes something stranger and harder to classify. Domogarov preserves that slippage. Stream Dead Mountaineer's Hotel (2027) online on iFILM.
