New write-up of the week:
Ghost KeeperA group of snowmobile riders get lost and take refuge at an isolated, empty lodge while they wait for a blizzard to pass. But unbeknownst to them, the elderly caretaker is harboring a dark secret.
This is essentially a poor-man's take on
The Shinning. And when I say poor, I mean they literally ran out of money half way through filming, and made the whole second half of the movie by the seat of their pants. Naturally, the plot after that point sort of went to shit. As did the inclusion of the film's main protagonist, the evil spirit known as the Wendigo, which ironically made it's portrayal more closely resemble the
actual Wendigo legends. But unfortunately it also mucked up the set-up of the first half of the film. These poor filmmakers just couldn't win. It does have a pretty strong and effective atmosphere though, so it still ends up being pretty creepy, even if the plot sort of starts to fall apart by the second act. Oh well, still interesting.
