I love this movie so much

Just what I expected

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A handful of people wind up stranded in a snowy mountain area in the wake of an airplane crash. They seek refuge in an old abandoned cabin. Moreover, the group find themselves being terrorized by a lethal predatory extraterrestrial beast residing in the basement of said cabin. Boy, does writer/director Paul Gagne strike out something rotten in every possible way with this mind-numbingly awful stinker: Slack (non)direction, sluggish pacing, terrible acting from a lame no-name cast (Merry Simkins cops the grand booby prize for her insufferably shrill portrayal of hateful whiny shrew Sandy), murky washed-out cinematography, zero tension or spooky atmosphere, tin-eared dialogue ("I'm scared, baby"), tacky gore, shoddy (far from) special effects, uniformly obnoxious and unlikable characters, an overly talky and meandering script, a generic hum'n'shiver score, and a pitifully hokey and unconvincing rubbery monster. Only a surprisingly hot lesbian love scene and some tasty gratuitous female nudity manage to make a favorable impression. A total clunker.

OK, it's a crummy movie, at least according to the usual standards of film, but it is not that hard to watch. In fact, it's really pretty fun. (I don't mean that it's so bad that it's good; I mean that it's fairly interesting and it doesn't grind your soul down as you wait for it to end.) The story keeps moving and actually has some suspenseful moments. (You may actually be mildly surprised at who survives and why.) There are several lengthy topless scenes, including some lesbian action. The acting is wildly over the top and the characters do the dumbest things. But it plunges forward relentlessly and cheerfully.The alien(s) is a combination of puppetry and some of the hokiest animation possible. "Cheesey" doesn't begin to describe it. But that's also part of the fun. Plus, you just have to catch the airplane FX at the beginning of the movie.It appears that about half of the movie is blue-screen and this creates some truly surrealistic effects. During a confrontation in a room, for example, the shots of one character were clearly taken on location or on a soundstage (probably the former). The reverse shot of the other character is obviously blue-screen, but the background that has been inserted looks like Van Gogh painted it, with wild textures and colors. It's supposed to be the very same room, but you'd hardly know it.I also enjoyed the revolver that was used. Not only did it not require reloading (well...they DID reload it once, I guess) but it is clearly a toy with green paint on the muzzle so they could add CGI muzzle blasts when it was fired. It's fascinating.And be sure to pay attention to the clearly irrelevant snow cat subplot. And the styrofoam snow. And the fake "flame thrower" FX. And the "baby" aliens. It's like Disneyland...so much to see.Anyway, I watched it all the way through and suffered absolutely no ill effects. Give it a break...it IS what it aspires to be.

Saw this on Zone Horror the other night, couldn't believe my eyes at how bad this movie really is!!! Most of the 'Action' *cough* takes place in this hut thats supposed to be snowbound but there's no sign of snow outside.The main alien looks like one of those rubber pencil top wobblers you used to be able to buy in the 70's.The acting,(ha-ha) was more wooden than Queen Victorias teeth, and near the end when they are trying to dig themselves out of the hut the snow they are digging resembles polystyrene packing material.Shocking bloody shocking.

This simply has to be the worst film ever made. Why? No plot, no script, no direction, no acting, the worst CGI monsters you are ever likely to see – wouldn't convince a four year old that they were real, let alone an adult. Move over "Plan 9 from Outer Space", your title as worst ever move has just been hijacked! You have to ask the question, why did they bother? At least Plan 9 was bad enough to achieve some kind of cult status, and had a "star" in Bela Lugosi. This film had nothing. And… all these comments are based on the bits of the film I could bear to watch! It was way too excruciating to view every minute! If this one comes round on cable, go out, make a coffee, clean your navel out with a screwdriver – anything has to be better that watching this!
