* AdaptationalVillainy: The shaman, one of the few more or less recognizable characters from the novel, is subject to that. He isn’t a nice guy in the novel and dislikes the Russian explorers from the start, but he never [[spoiler:plots to kill the chief]] and doesn’t do or say anything even against the explorers until the catastrophes begin. His film counterpart is murderous, power-hungry, sadistic and ObviouslyEvil.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Zig-zagged. The stakes for the protagonists are much higher than in the novel: Perfilyev is barely persuaded to finance the expedition and plans to get the explorers killed if they find the gold, and the shaman wants to kill them in very painful ways from the start – in the novel, the money was given by a kindhearted academic and the Onkilons never threatened the explorers' lives [[spoiler:until things became really desperate]]. However, in the ending, [[spoiler:the future of the Onkilons and Sannikov Land looks way brighter than in the novel]].

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The Onkilons and the Russians easily understand each other from the very start, for some reason. In the novel, a Yakut from among the explorers acted as interpreter at first, because he knew Chukchi and the Onkilon language was similar to it. In the film, it seems that the Onkilons have somehow learned Russian. Or that their language is identical qto some other language that all of the explorers know.

* JealousRomanticWitness: When Annuir confesses her love for Ilyin (his response is rather reserved as he has a fiancee at home), they are watched by Dukkar who has a VillainousCrush on Annuir and was rejected by her only minutes ago at the wife-choosing festival. This event cements Dukkar's hatred of Ilyin and the rest of the explorers, and he spends the rest of the film being TheDragon to the murderous, sadistic local shaman.
