I've recently been going through a whole stockpile of bad films, although this film I wouldn't necessarily call it bad but it wasn't good either, it had an okay premise and was able to draw my attention but it wasn't long when this film started feeling like the plot was going nowhere, I mean the pace was as if it didn't move at all it just floated around for 90 minutes.The acting was average, although the characters weren't really developed and came across as cardboard cutouts and sometimes the cast looked more like they were just reciting a bunch of lines instead of really acting.The plot itself actually did have potential but the execution is the main problem here, the pace like I said is as if it just floats around and feels like its never gonna go anywhere and neither one of the characters are likable and you never start to care for them because they are so under developed they might as well be rocks.Honestly, the only good quality about this film is that it could just be the cure for insomnia because I've never been so bored for 90 minutes.

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.

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!
