A
group of people are on a skiing
trip and one of them nemd Jeff
(Dan Smith) has a crush on one of
his friends named Trina (Debra
Deliso) but Trina doesn't see him
that way as just a friend since
she is dating someone else who
doesn't like Jeff.
Out of anger Jeff goes skiing but
people warn him that there's a
big snowstorm but he doesn't pay
any attention to them.
He falls off a cliff and dies on
a bunch of sharp rocks.
A
year later the group of friends
are mysteriously invited back to
their ski resort but however a
killer in a broken ski mask and
the same ski suit that Jeff wore
is killing off the residents one
by one with a message saying that
Jeff was here.
Could Jeff still be alive and
wrecking revenge on these people
and is slowly trying to get to
Trina?
This was a typical
Z-grade made for video film but
believe it or not, I really like
this flick.
It was almost like a Friday
the 13th ripoff but this
time during the winter up on the
mountains.
It was well done for a cheap
flick like this I thought
although many of you will
disagree with me.
I loved the ending of this film
which was my favourite scene.
The acting is quite
descent for a film like this. I
liked Debra Deliso's
performance the best and deserves
good credit for her work in it.
I also enjoyed Joseph Alan
Johnson's performance as a
deceiving resident at the
mountain skiing resort (Both
acted together in a trashy 1982
slasher flick The Slumber
Party Massacre).
Plus the cast also features
former Addams Family
child star Lisa Loring who
still does fine as an actress.
Debra Deliso's
character is full nude
fornicating with her boyfriend
during the first half of the
film.
Also a brief nude scene by an
actor who is doing cocaine in a
bathroom.
Joseph Alan Johnson is
having a fantasy of making out
with Lisa Loring's character
in a bath tub
Lisa also goes skinny
dipping in her hot tub.
A characters throat
is stabbed by a ski pole
A women's eye is stabbed by an
ice pick
Someone killed by a bear trap and
his corpse is shown but none of
these scenes look too gruesome as
the film's budget was tight.
The
directing by Jeff Kwitny
is in average shape as the actors
did a better job.
But he shows great shots of the
mountains and the mysterious
killers broken mask too.
His ending scene is the best but
I won't say what it is as that
would be a spoiler.
The music for this
film was done by Dan Milner
who composed the same music for
the action made TV series American
Gladiators.
Some of it was performed on
keyboards in a cheesy Z-grade
style but some of it sounds
similar to a Friday the
13th sequel which
sounded great.
This film was
avaible on video by Prism
Entertainment with a
trailer of the direct-to-video
soft core porn dud thriller Deadly
Embrace (Starring Jan-Michael
Vincent). At present time
this movie is out of print.
