Red Snow

By the first 15 minutes you will know if you want to continue, i did by then thankfully and i liked that "charming" lowish budget Vampire movie. The leads where well cast, good script, and a film that would do well in festivals, i like this vampire story, well directed.

I was immediately drawn in by the cover/poster for the 2021 horror comedy movie "Red Snow" as I stumbled upon it here in 2022. Had I heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it? No. Did I even know what it was about? No. It hardly mattered, as a horror comedy with vampires that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuation to sit down and watch what writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch had in store.

The storyline was actually fair enough. Now, it has enough contents to support a single viewing, but I doubt that it can do more than just that. For me, personally, then this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time.

"Red Snow" is a fun approach on the vampire genre, and on that account then writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch certainly managed to come up with something unique enough to stand out.

The movie was nicely carried by lead actress Dennice Cisneros (playing Olivia) and Nico Bellamy (playing Luke). In addition, the movie also had the likes of Laura Kennon (playing Jackie) and Vernon Wells (playing Julius) on the cast list.

Visually then "Red Snow" was actually good. Now, hold your horses, because "Red Snow" is not a movie that was heavy on special effects, and as such, not really dependent on having great special effects. Whatever special effects that were used in the movie, however, were doing their job to the letter.

I am rating "Red Snow" a five out of ten stars.

Reading the External Reviews on IMDb hooked me. The reviews were all over the map. That is unusual. And very curious. So I checked it out. The story is very Stephen Kingy, with lots of little twists and turns to keep everyone interested right to the last scene. Some of the dialog (not all, but SOME) is razor sharp and funny. Especially the bit about the poor genocided Candy Elves. For a low budget indie, the production values are sharp and the acting above average. The film has already won some awards in the horror niche. Best of all it holds the interest which, as I keep pointing out in my 1700+ reviews, is what film is supposed to be about. Could easily find a cult following. Deserves one.

Both leads carried this dark comedy well. It has shaDes and vibes of what we do in the shadows, though a tinge less polished, but nevertheless, very enjoyable with a great story line. Kooky lady with a hot vamp seducer, what can go wrong? Expectant sequel would be a nice bonus to a silly Vamp romCom. Just do it...Grrr Blood, blood! ,.. Can I please have some more please ?

The only reason I watched Red Snow was because it took place in Lake Tahoe, a place that I know very well as my wife is orginally from Reno. A lovely place with stunning views where I only have positive memories of. I do like horror movies as well but even though this movie is about vampires it's not really a horror movie. The acting wasn't bad, certainly not for a B-movie, because a B-movie it definitely is, it just shows. I don't regret watching it as I was entertained but would I watch it again or would I recommend it to someone else? No, certainly not, not even to people from Lake Tahoe as it could have been filmed anywhere else.
