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".

Tiffany has recently decided to embark on an independent film career. Her first film is Necrosis, which also stars Hero's star James Kyson Lee, along with 7th Heaven's George Stults. I had high hopes for Tiffany in this movie based on early trailers and news. Unfortunately, of the six main cast members, hers is probably the smallest role.The story is about a group of friends who go off to spend a weekend in the snow at a remote cabin which just happens to be near where the Donner Party massacre happened. When a bad snowstorm comes through, they are trapped at the cabin, and must fend off the Donner ghosts, as well as one of their own who seems to be slipping fast into a delusional state.Half-way through the film Tiffany aka Karen decides to go for help with her boyfriend. I won't spoil the results, but it did leave me with a few unanswered questions about her fate. I feel the movie was a little slow overall and the ending a bit too fast. A better balance of action and suspense would have made it all felt a bit more even throughout.All that said, my favorite part of the DVD was the behind the scenes feature, which gets my 10 rating. There are quite a few candid moments with Tiffany, and you can really get a better understanding of just how hard this movie was to make being that they actually did shoot this during a snow storm.

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.

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!
