Elevator Pitch |
When a police detective’s girfriend is killed by a serial killer he is pursuing, he descends into alcoholism and attempts suicide. As a result he is checked into an isolated moutain rehab centre by a fellow cop, but when the centre is isolated by a blizzard and the inmates begin to die, it is evident that the serial killer is in there with them. |
Content |
Several scenes of mutilated people hanging from light fittings and trees. People prowl about in the dim recesses of the rehab centre which has been some sort of a prison or military establishment. People are killed mostly with handguns, or edged domestic impliments. No nudity, just a bit of implied sex and some drinking. |
A View |
There was nothing much to redeem this outing by SS for the first time for three years apparently. I didn’t like any of the characters and so was not concerned when they were terminated. Cost quite a bit, and made very little. There is really no reason to waste your time on it. I have wasted my time on your behalf. |
