Well, here's a slasher film that comes from Sweden for a change - but don't expect it to be less dumb than any of its American counterparts. BLOOD TRACKS is a pretty lively film, with a huge death count, and lots of sex and cheap gore effects to appeal to the exploitation crowd. It has its failings - much of the climax takes place in the dark, stupidly, so that you can't see a damn thing, although this may be a fault of the print (along with the awful pan and scan job here in the UK) - but no more so than any other low budget horror yarn from the period. As well as this it's short, has a fast pacing and an interesting isolated setting in the form of the spooky mountains, which I always like the use of in a horror film (whether it be THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN or THE WEREWOLF AND THE YETI!).The cast members are even more dumb than usual, with a group of people wandering around an old building at night and deciding to split up to search for a missing companion - yeah, that's clever. The female cast members are all vain and unlikable, and so are most of the men for that matter. It doesn't help that the truly hideous fashions and hairstyles have also dated badly since the time in which this was made. The dialogue sounds cheesy and overdubbed, although I do commend the film-makers for getting maximum use out of a piece of stock footage of an avalanche.The murders - despite being noticeably cut here in the UK - are all varied and kept interesting, as well as being short and to the point - there's little of that stalk-and-slash nonsense here. Characters are impaled, axed, burnt, shot, and fall foul of deadly traps. Of course, it's all done in the nastiest way possible. You can't feel too sorry for the truly stupid cast members, though, who decide to have sex in their log cabin while a family of murderers lurk around outside and occasionally peek through windows. Speaking of the bad guys, you almost feel sorry for them towards the end of the film! For some reason their faces have been dipped in oatmeal by the look of it. Although cheap and cheesy, I did get a kick out of BLOOD TRACKS, due to it being a straightforward celebration of death with minimal dialogue and lots of violent action.

Deep in the snowy mountains a mother took her children after killing her husband, their father(he was a mean, abusive drunk who wasted money on booze), living currently in a condemned factory where a band named Solid Gold and a video film crew and dancers plan to shoot if and when the damn avalanches quit ruining everything. The children, now adults, are unstable and it's only a matter of time before a cinematographer or sound guy runs across them, igniting a spree of inevitable violence to all who enter their domain. Personally, I found BLOOD TRACKS dull and monotonous, losing interest minute by minute. Essentially, the movie consists of characters attacked from behind while their minds are elsewhere. Most of the murder sequences take place in the factory which is a perfect place if you are to besiege victims. The dubbing is poor and flat, with characters so bland I couldn't acquire one iota of interest for any of them. While the methods of violence can be bloody, most of the killing happens off screen, or quickly as we are accustomed to in the latter Friday the 13th pictures. There is the usual assortment of beheadings, limb removals, shootings and stabbings(all low budget affairs), the plot a laborious, cyclical(attack, kill and repeat), repetitive bore.

Wanna be rock-stars with cannibalistic intentions? The only thing this movie features is a couple of teenagers that wanna make name and fame in the rock business. To do this they go out in the mountains to record a video-clip. The only thing the screenwriter knew to write was how to let them whinge and nag for about 90 minutes about actually how cold the snow is. The cannibal part he forgot. This movie features all over plot line mistakes –holes and many more next to the bad acting and poor dialog. I fear while writing the scenario the writer's brain was numbed by the cold and probably the booze he had to try and keep warm. Maybe they should have provided the actors with the needed booze to boost up their performances and acting-skills. Nevertheless I have one statement to make, when you have a hangover, skip the medicine box just put on this movie! Boring all over and a serious tranquilizer.Dario/

This film is really bad. It starts off as a wife gets into a squabble with her husband and ends up stabbing him with a little pocket knife and the film ends with her and her children running off and the story line ends off there and leaves us in the dark not knowing what happens next. The story takes off 40 years later as the lady and her children are now all grown up and are now cannibals living in some abandoned warehouse. A heavy metal band that looks like a cross between Motley Crue and Poison wannabe rejects are filming a video there and bring their whore groupies along with them. From there all we see is the band getting laid, partying and getting killed by these cannibals. It has terrible over dubbed voices, awful singing and rediculus acting. But there are several parts in the movie that are worth a few laughs like the head of one of the band members gets cut off and thrown at his girlfriend like a lit firecracker as well as a couple of other people getting wasted may be the only parts in the film worth watching. Stay away from this one unless you really need a cure for those sleepless nights.
