Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Michael O'Keefe The writers Jason Robert Stephens and Robert Michael Ryan may have had a good idea; director Stephens may have tried hard...but this project barely breathes life. Nice scenery of Big Bear and Lake Tahoe, California and a bit of eye candy in the cast; but the acting does nothing to save the movie either. Six friends plan on a romantic weekend trip to a nice mountain cabin; but no sooner than they settle in, a monstrous snowstorm traps them. Its not cabin fever they need to fear; it is the visions of frontier settlers of the storied Donner Party that will test their nerves and wits. Soon the friends start turning on each other. Are the ghosts to be blamed for the miserable weekend of bloodshed? The cast features: James Kyson, George Stults, Danielle De Luca, as well as horror veterans Mickey Jones and Michael Berryman...plus writer Ryan and former teen songstress Tiffany. Oh, well. There is some brief nudity and a great snowstorm to enjoy.

homecoming8 The story of "Necrosis" (also known as "Blood Snow") seems promising at first, but the result is rather weak. The setting (an isolated cabin in a snow storm) is creepy, certainly when flashes of the haunted ghosts appear. But since it's a VERY low-budget picture, (the leading actress Tiffany did also a song for this movie) you can't expect too many special effects. So the result is an uninspired knock-off of the classic "The Shining". The dialog is poorly written and the characters make no sense at all. Nothing is convincing, certainly not the weak cast, except for a couple of effective shocking moments in the first half of the story. But after that, it all goes downhill with a very disappointing climax. One good point: It is always nice to see horror icon Michael Berryman (original Hills Have Eyes) in a cameo. But overall: Not really worth a look to be honest..

insane_tiger Psychological/suspenseful movie despite its shortcomings, namely dialogue. There were a couple scenes when I wondered how the actors delivered their lines with a straight face. My favourite line went something like, "Bears hibernate for the winter. The only animal you have to worry about this weekend is me." The music could be hit or miss but I felt it added to the creepy atmosphere. Unfortunately the movie finishes right after the climax and is very open ended. I would have liked a little more resolution because I enjoyed the characters. If you enjoyed this movie but wanted to see more blood and gore I would recommend "Dead Snow".

Aidan Landry Friends spending a weekend trapped in a remote cabin is not a new movie concept. But, adding in a snowstorm and Tiffany, you will catch my interest! I watched this film expecting the worst, but actually enjoyed it for the most part.I know a little of the Donner party story, and I thought the connection was a good one, if under-utilized. A few flashback scenes and vague mentions of them didn't really paint the picture of just who these people were and why they were coming back to haunt this cabin. But, I suppose that is part of the intent. We are never sure whether there really are ghosts, or if they are just in the mind.The two main leads did very well together. There "romantic" scene in the power shed near the end of the film was my favourite. I thought they clicked well and having the film finally end on them, with the big question still looming about whether or not they will make it, left me thinking.I was also impressed that the movie used Tiffany's song "Winters Over" for their closing credits. Little touches like that found in this movie make it stand out a bit from the usual fair found in this low-budget genre.
