A Disappointing Continuation

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Three young couples go to a snowy cabin to enjoy a long weekend. What none of them realize is that the cabin sits on the spot where the Donner party massacre happened in 1846. Apparently the spirits of the Donner party are around and begin appearing to the group and different members of the group begin to suffer mental breakdowns. What could've been a fun low budget blood bath in the snow turns out to be an ineffective and poorly written horror film. The characters and their actions are very inconsistent from scene to scene and this, along with some poor dialogue takes a toll on the acting as well. A couple chills are provided and some blood eventually is spilled but the characters never really connect on any level with the audience making this film pretty pointless in the end.

Michael "Mike" Scottfield (Robert Michael Ryan) invites his girlfriend Karen (Tiffany) and his friends Matt (George Stults), Jerry (James Kyson-Lee), Samantha (Danielle De Luca) and Megan (Penny Drake) to travel to Sierra, Nevada, to spend the weekend in his cottage in the top of the mountain. When they stop in a bar, the strange Seymour (Michael Berryman) advises that the top of the mountain is not a safe place, and Mike explains to his friends that in 1846, a group of travelers was trapped for months in the mountain while traveling to California. They go insane with the starvation, and without any food, they start killing each other to eat. The episode was known as the Donner massacre. While driving a snowmobile, Jerry sees a ghost girl that advises him that the place is not safe. The six friends are surprised by the severe snow and are trapped in the cabin. When they go to the shed to start the generator, they find the body of the caretaker Lyle (John Dobroth) lying on the snow. Sooner Jerry sees other eerie creatures wandering around the cabin. When Matt learns that Jerry is under the medication of the antipsychotic Seraquin, they fear that Jerry may be driving crazy. "Necrosis" is a low-budget psychological horror movie that uses the idea of "The Shinning" combined with "Evil Dead", with a man that goes insane in an isolated cabin threatening the lives of his girlfriend and friends. The plot is slowly constructed and the greatest flaw is the lack of explanation why Mike brings his friends to a cabin that belongs to his family for many years in a season of severe snow and without supplies. He certainly should have an idea of the difficulties that they might have in that season. When I saw the IMDb rating, I was afraid that "Necrosis" would be a deceptive film; however, I realize that actually this film is underrated in IMDb. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Sangue na Neve" ("Blood on the Snow")

This movie it about some friends who get trapped up in some snowy mountains during a really bad storm. Cut off from the rest of the world, as hours turn to days, a few of them start to hallucinate about ghosts from the Donner party creeping around the cabin. Tiffany plays the role of Karen, and does a great job with the material. Her role is not very large in comparison to the others, but her time on the screen is put to good use. I am not sure what exactly happened to her character, but I am hoping her vague unanswered demise (?) might lead to a reappearance of Karen if there ever was to be a sequel.Things I really liked about this film are: very nice scenic shots of snow and mountains throughout which really helped add to the growing feeling of isolation. A few good scares and unexpected twists, and of course, Tiffany in her first feature film!

After seeing about 10 minutes of this movie I took out the DVD from my player. Yes, I literally threw it in the trash. Now, I understand why the first reviewers rated this so low. The poor thing about this is it's the just flat out very-very poor acting. Oh, the lines delivery is also very-very amateur like they're reading directly from the script. Yes, the movie is very disturbing to the fact that the makers wasted their money for hiring very-very less talented actors. It left me asking the same question on why I wasted my frigging money buying the DVD? The tag-line of the movie really got me COLD. Brrr, stupid movie and stupid me for falling into the trap.
