Secrets in the Snow

I ended up FF to the climax. This movie was so dull, so lacking in suspense, that I don't want to type more than a few sentences. Everyone's trapped in this house which to me would make it seem like the walls are closing in, but these characters are still lurking and sneaking around corners and whatnot. The main actress wears the same expression the entire movie. The villain attacks her at the end and in the cringy final scene, her entire demeanor is as if someone spilled a glass of wine on her floor...not as if she was afraid for her life. Just awful.

This movie had an inordinate amount of time spent in the kitchen and the dining room. At the mid-point the group were discussing recipes so much that I was ready for a sidebar cooking instruction (or a walk-on by Martha Stewart).

Look for:

1. The character of poor Angie - so sad!

2. Katherine (Ted's sister) - what a tool.

3. Jacob (Katherine's husband) - he looked stoned throughout the movie - I guess he had to be because he was married to her.

4. Christina shooting her mouth off at the mother's birthday party.

5. The bizarre ending with plot points being shot out one after another.

OK time waster.

The movie wasn't bad but most of the acting was subpar. The lead female and the blonde were very good but otherwise, the rest of the actors were less than mediocre. Cringe-worthy in some cases. If you have nothing else going on and the weather is bad and you are supremely bored, give it a go. Don't pay for it though.

Christina falls in love with Ted who takes her to his home to meet his family during a bad snowstorm and she discovers that Ted's brother died under mysterious circumstances and no one knows what really happened and why. But there's too many obvious clues as she starts snooping around in the house and it's easy to discover the missing pieces before the movie ends. I expected better and would not watch again!

Just watched last 30mins of this (channel 5 in UK) whilst pottering around, and although i only saw the last 30 mins, it was so bad that i easily guessed what was what and what had happened. The main thing for me though was the make-up. 2 characters had exactly the same make-up and it suited neither, dark brown matt lipstick way too heavy, and the mother was the same, very heavy matt red lipstick that made her look like a clown. All i could see was the bad lipstick ha ha.
