A
group of students go to a resort for
snowmobile riding and partying. However,
two of them named Ron (Jim Cagle) and Tom
(Aaron Kjenaas) decide to race one
another and then Tom gets into an
accident by hitting a tree and knocked
unconcious with severe injuries while a
snowstorm happens and they are trapped on
a lake but spot a closed down cabin at a
campsite to keep sheltered for a while.
Tom's girlfriend Jeannie (Dawn Laurrie)
is having faith that he will survive as
he is slowly moving and talking.
Then they find a some sort of Ouija board
and decide to summon up some spirits
although Jeannie is against it decides to
host it.
Suddenly things starts to act strangely
as Tom seems to heal very fast and acts
very strange plus some demonic force is
killing their friends as they find out
that the camp was once used by a satanic
cult for its rituals, and is still
infested by demons.
What a pile of
crap this film is as they tried to be
original by making a supernatural horror
film at an abandoned camp in the winter
but didn't go far at all.
It's boring and not the least bit
frighteneing and the whole performance
surrounding this film is extremely
slacking too.
Better off with another low budgeter than
this that's for sure.
The acting is
terrible and full of nothing but virtual
unknowns. However, lead actress Dawn
Laurrie seems to do fairly okay in
her part but not too fantastic by any
means.
Lead actor Aaron Kjenaas tries
to do well by behaving evil and possessed
but he is a little too much.
There is a brief
butt shot on Dawn Laurrie during
a lustful scene.

sticking out of his hand
Chunks of blood is sprayed on some walls
A guys eye is stabbed by an iceberg
Christopher Webster
is terrible with his direction for this
film but he does show a good camera shot
on a snowmobile racing through the snow
during the beginning of this film.
There is a scene with bit part actor Mark
Armstrong as a bar lout acting drunk
and not so pleasant towards Eve
Mongomery and then a brawl between
him and David Fields as all of
this looks extremely amateurish and so
fake.
There's also a slacking performance by Bekkie
Valin as a bar waitress but there
are good close up shots on her talking.
We have nice shots on a snowmobile chase
performed by Aaron Kjenaas and
Jim Cagle as well as good shots
on the cast running to catch up to the
tragic accident.
Laurrie seems to do well by
trying to talk to Kjenaas as he
lays there still unconcious and it looks
quite effective when he slowly speaks.
There is a nice shot on the cast hosted
by Dawn Laurrie summoning up
spirits from the dead as she looked good
by tipping her head back but her panting
sounded just a bit phony.
There's a good close up shot on a barb
wire and a background of Cagle
snowmobiling towards it as you feel
something deadly is going to happen.
A good shadow effect creeping up on Montgomery
when she tries to escape and a good
shot on her when a fan comes down about
to chop her as she shows good frightened
expressions but her screaming and freaked
out actions are terribly stiff.
There's a good shot on icebergs hanging
from a roof ledge outside coming down
towards Fields when he tries to
scramble to dodge them.
There's a fair dialogue with Kjenaas trying
to act soothing towards Laurrie.
There's a good close up shot on Kjenaas
showing a demonic type of expression
during a lustful moment.
We spot Laurrie trying to talk
to the pentagram but the direction looks
very wooden like.
We see a snowmobile chase between Kjenaas
(Who showed a nice demonic grin
before the chase) and Laurrie
but the pacing is extremely slow and
lacking.
A good shot on a snowmobile exploding.
John
Tatgenhorst has some terrible
synthesizing music throughout most of the
film but however, there's some effective
organ playing during a lustful scene as
well as some interesting cheesy guitar
and keyboard riffs during a snowmobile
chase.
