Checking out their family's ski lodge, a group of friends learns the local legend about the haunted lift on their slopes is true when a psychotic killer begins killing them off one-by-one for being on the mountain and must find a way to stop the killer and get away alive.This here wasn't all that bad of a slasher effort. The main thing here with this one is the fact that this one really manages to get enjoyable with how it actually builds the mysterious backstory of the area as there's a lot to like in this section. Not only is there a rather fine origin story here about the dead daughter and the wife's accident but there's also the fun here with the shifty background information found out here that goes quite well with how this imparts a change to the storyline here by really taking what could've been a simple ghost story into a solid slasher basis filled with some nice red herrings and a rather fun reveal that comes off rather nicely. Likewise, the variety of the kills in here are rather nice as there are some rather decent offerings here which are given a much better overall feel here with some nice bloody aftermath to give them a really great feel as it makes for a decent slasher effort. The only other enjoyable facet here is the action from the finale as this is where the film really has a lot of action to spread throughout here with the killer taking the group out one-by- one in some tense stalking up in the bedroom, going after the girlfriend down in the kitchen and finally out on the slopes where there's plenty of fun action encounters that force this into a really fun finish. These here hold this one up over the flaws present, which are pretty significant. The film's biggest issue is the rather clumsy manner in which the early scenes here don't really display any real sense of tension or attempt to terrify as there's a matter-of-fact air about how they're shot and filmed, draining the suspense from the scenes as there's very little scary or suspenseful antics about them other than the outcome and this really lowers the first half considerably. There's also the surprisingly tame way this deals with its exploitation elements here by barely managing any real nudity or sleaze despite an abundance of chances to get her naked as she showers in the beginning and strips down several other times yet always keeps it hidden which makes no sense. The other flaw to this is the overly lame rationale for the killers' motives against the group which is completely ludicrous and uninformed which just takes a lot of the impact out of their scenes. These here lower this one somewhat over the positives.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, sex scenes and drug use.

This movie is about some friends who go away to a closed ski-resort and there, a mystery killer-skier is lurking around the slopes... a killer that maybe connects to something that happened in the past at this place!?.... watch and you will find out!first of: I liked the killer outfit! Simply but nice! I also liked the abandoned ski-resort, the whole place was creepy and exiting. I think it was a great place for a murder movie. The place and the killer was the best about this movie! The place is amazing and the killer is cool. I think you will like it too! I agree with others here about the movie in general, it was a movie that sucked sometimes but sometimes it was actually really nice too!When I see a movie I try to look past the bad things - like a weird conversation or a character that is acting strange like a perverted sheriff or when someone takes a stranger with them - without a doubt... It sucks when this kind of scenes pop upBut there are good scenes too and lets enjoy them! I am no slasher/horror expert and I don't want to try to be one. I just wanted to tell you about the good things in this movie. For me its important with the back story and also the place. I wanted to give thumbs up for these details in this movie! There will always be details that you miss, for me its about more scenes of the killer lurking and also maybe a scene when the killer is listening to the teens in secret. I like the movie and I have bought it! I don't want to complain too much, I want to see the good! And shine a light on it!

Shredder like any classic horror film incorporates, hot chicks, sweet deaths, snowboarding, and a giant snowplow with no regard for human life. Viewers will be thrilled by not only the skill of the of the urchins and skys (Johnny Tsunami reference) but will also enjoy the suspenseful creative death scenes. It will keep you guessing throughout the entire movie with its complex and original plot!The best scene by far is the final death sequence which will plow your mind! I recommend watching this scene in slow motion to get the full effect of this carnage. Shedder is sure to entertain audiences of all ages and is cool as the other side of the mountain.

I am in the process of writing a screenplay for a horror film, which in all honesty will probably get an instant ban in the UK cos it's gonna contain some seriously censor-annoying material in it. To put it bluntly there will be, amongst many other things, graphic rape, sodomy and kiddie killing which is what i know to go on in real life but has, as far as i know, never been tackled in mainstream media (to any graphic detail). I am in no way a sicko (I have two young daughters myself, aged 1 and 3 years old, I am prepared to film anything with full parental cooperation,child would be on set when the filming takes place), i am just interested in writing/directing/starring in my own production, i feel this film will be absolutely nothing like what has ever been shown in or underground (save for so called snuff) cinema worldwide.Now to my point, I would love the serial killer (Candace Moon) from this film to be a murder victim in the film i end up producing - she would ultimately end up being (cinematographically raped and having her throat slashed), i know this is a long shot, but if she were to be in it then it might just be a good thing to happen ! What I would really like to include in the film is the cast members from films who have been killers to end up as completely random victims in this film i an thinking of doing. I'm only suggesting Candace cos i thought she should have had a few more lines to say in this film. Another potential victim could be the actress Felissa Rose, the killer in the first Sleepaway Camp film.If anybody else has thought of this idea, or thinks it might be cool to do such a thing, please contribute !
