Several very dislikable people are on an airplane heading for a ski trip weekend when it developes problems and if forced to land in the snowy mountains.
They find a cabin in the woods and enter it, only to find an alien monster hiding in it that loves to eat human flesh. Now, there is the plot, plain and simple.
However, there is so much more to talk about. When the plane crashes there is a lot of snow around, however when the people are walking to the cabin the ground is bare and dry with green grass!!! How in the hell do you not have continuity with this??
Nothing more is mentioned of the pilot, so we have to assume he was killed and for over an hour we have to listen to these people bicker and fight before the alien appears. Now, the alien is something else altogether.
God knows I have seen thousands of low budget films, but the flagrant errors made here are unforgivable. The snow falling effects are low grade CGI as well as the monster and the plane in flight. I'm sorry, but the younger generation that tears apart older films should really look at this tripe.
The conclusion of this film has two women survivors who leave the cabin after they have killed the "monster". One is dressed in a tank top, the other has no coat on. Why do I mention this? Because during the course of the film there has been so much snowfall and there are freeaing temps outside. One of them simply says "let's go home"!!! What the hell??
Then another scene has one of the women digging snow out from a window drueing as excape plan earlier in the film and the snow looks like packing peanuts!! If the snow was that deep where did it all go at the end of the movie?
I can forgive a lot of things, but the gaps in this film are far too many and too big to forgive. Watch this for a lesson in how NOT to make a low budget horror film.
