There's Snow Escape

Traveling together through the woods, a group of friends looking to get together for a special celebration find their trip has been crashed by a murderous snowman housing the spirit of a long-dead lumberjack from local lore haunting the area and must find the means of stopping his rampage.

This was a decent enough indie effort. Among the brighter aspects here is the series of starting plotlines brought up that provides a reason to care about the various figures in the area. Getting to see the couple out in the woods fulfilling the local legend before heading to the bachelorette party while also getting the exploits of the hikers going through the woods gets a generally fun setup. As this also includes the strong local legend of the killer snowman's identity, this setup starts the film off decently enough. As well, there's also the film's rather solid stalking scenes of the snowman coming to life and carrying out its rampage. From the opening attack on the campers to the encounter by the lake chasing the victim through the woods and the big encounter later on where it confronts the series of victims still alive, this aspect all comes together quite nicely here providing cheesy encounters with a fun frenetic indie vibe to everything. Combined with the goofy gore and effects work on the snowman props that are frequently utilized, these here are the film's positive points. There are some big problems here that do hold this down. One of the biggest issues here is a pronounced and quite dull period where this is so focused on building up the numerous storylines there's very little action here. The amount of focus on the storylines here involving the couples hiking around the woods discussing their relationships or just goofing around with their friends that there's barely any kind of action for quite a while. It's well over halfway through the film that anything resembling genre action is somewhat troubling. Also part of that reasoning is the other big flaw here in the use of completely banal subplots designed solely for generating bodies later on. The conspiracy theorist and the disinterested police officer are the biggest culprits, although there's plenty of additional scenes involving the lives of the various groups around the woods which all end up being pointless elements to continue the running length. The last issue here is the rampant and ever-present low-budget origins which drop from the screen every chance possible which is all that holds this one down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Brief Nudity.

Seriously, I only was "lucky enough" to catch a 1/3rd of this movie, but it seems like one of those films that is so low budget that it's trying to be funny for how low budget it is. Potential to become a "Cult Classic" and was disappointed that I didn't find "Cult Film" on IMDB's drop-down list of Genres.

But, again, seriously, a bunch of people worked on this, and I'm guessing they weren't paid a whole lot of money to do so, so I figure they deserve some credit. :-)

I've read the reviews here and they keep pushing for "cult classic". This just angers me because this film is trash.

Directionless, aimless, pointless. This film is as lost as most of the cast is; to the notion that they are in a film.

This is one of the most God-awful things i've ever had the displeasure of viewing. I might not be as criticial if it weren't for the fact that the other reviewer is obviously related to someone affiliated with this film.

This is nowhere near "cult classic" status. It is absolute trash. It meanders on for an hour with literally nothing happening. Nothing driving the plot.

I FF through half an hour and still NOTHING IS HAPPENING..Then, I fell asleep and missed the ending and woke up because the next film was playing on my Roku.

The next film that came on was indeed a cult classic that I had never seen before.

This movie = Trash. Someone was obviously paid to lie to us. The CC words and this film should only ever be mentioned when stating that this is the polar opposite of that.

Do NOT waste your time with this. The camerawork gave me headaches. The constant back-and-forth for every-single-line of dialogue is enough to drive you insane.

I didn't even stay awake for the ending, when something might have finally happened.

So many pointless scenes and characters. The 3 girls in the woods was needless and literally was pointless. The story was so selfishly written.

I honestly am so pissed off for having sat through most of this, under false pretenses from some moron reviewer; who as I stated was obviously paid by, or related to someone associated with this utterly directionless pile of garbage.

I would not recommend this to anyone, ever. There were zero desirable traits to this film. Even the "intentional" humor, which its pretty hard to fail at satire, is a testament to how clueless anyone responsible for this garbage is.

Do not watch this. I would honestly suggest suicide before watching this garbage. That is how pissed off I am at having wasted my time on this.

I wanted to give it a 3 because I tend to appreciate things more than others. But what I do not appreciate and absolutely detest and despise with every fibre of my being, are liars and hypocrites.

Do yourself a favour: Next time you make a movie... well, next time you make a steaming pile of garbage, don't have some scumbag lie about the film in a review.

2 out of 10. As far as i'm concerned this trash has been wiped from existence & memory.
