Went in not knowing much and expecting less from this found footage snowbound horror. It is pretty well acted and the 'pay off' is worth it and conclusive, which is nice for a change. I was even more shocked when I saw Renny Harlin's name as director.

Worth checking out.
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I thought that the end was especially effective.

Characterisation is good enough, there's PLENTY of gore, and one very clever kill which will impress you to no end.

Not quite THE exceptional film, but it has enough to impress any contemporary horror fan, which is saying a LOT.

Very promising. Very recommended.

One of my favorites; just got it on Blu-ray & DVD (and I rarely buy movies now since everything is digital).

I am VERY interested in seeing this. Ooo. Maybe I'll catch a matinee this weekend (THAT'S RIGHT I'M THAT OLD).

Actually, I prefer matinees because it's cheaper and those DERN KIDS usually aren't there. *shakes broom*

Wow. I had no idea that this was out either. I thought the first one was disappointing but I'll still check this one out.

Does this one have the claymation short you were looking for?
