Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I found this movie very out of context and location. After growing up at Donner lake California and seeing this movie I am very distraught. The first thing I notice is the scenery. None of the movie was filmed at Donner or even within about 50 miles of Donner. The next thing is the cannibalism. I've been through the education system in my small town of Truckee and at several points learned specifically about the Donner party. After the teachings and exploring of the actual sites I can confidently say that this movie doesn't describe the Donner party as the generally peaceful people they were. In fact one of my teachers in grade school was directly related to the leader of the party and has shown me and my classmates mementos of the Donner party and how they showed possible cannibalistic traits but nothing extremely violent.

In1846, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the area known as Donner Pass, a starving man kills three others to eat their flesh during the winter, but a boy witnesses the murders and flees.In the present days, the teenagers Kayley (Desiree Hall), her boyfriend Mike (Colley Bailey), her cousin Nicole (Adelaide Kane) and the outcast Thomas (Erik Stocklin) travel to the house in Donner Pass of Thomas's parents that are in Europe. Thomas recommends his friends to be careful with the house since his parents do not know that they are spending the weekend there. They learn that the police are hunting down the criminal James Michael Epstein (John Kassir). Out of the blue, the troublemaker boyfriend of Nicole, Derek (Dominic DeVore), comes with his friends Brody (Antonio Trischitta), Valerie (Krystal Davis) and A.J. (Brandon Morales) in his SUV to stay with Nicole, despite the protests of Thomas. Soon their beer runs out and Brody drives the SUV to buy some more in the town. Brody goes missing and soon Mike, Kayley and Thomes find his body eaten. Meanwhile Valerie is murdered near the house and the car has flat tires. Who might be the cannibal that is attacking the group? "Donner Pass" is a terrible slasher with an awful gore story of cannibalism and one-dimensional characters. The explanation for the anthropophagy is ridiculous and most of the characters are non- charismatic. In the end, watching "Donner Pass" is a complete waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): Not Available

A lot of good movies didn't have a chance,Donner Pass (2012)was one of them.The reason that it didn't have a chance is that The cast is not famous! But the storyline and the idea was great!I recommend you to watch this movie.The acting is great,it's good for you if you like teens horror movies or snow horror movies.But it's the best low budget horror movie I've ever seen in my life!You might think it's bad because it's an unrated horror movie but being unrated movie is not a way to make a bad movie :D My rating:7/10

Overall the movie was really good. I only watched it because I really like the Donner Party Story and because I don't read synopsis I assumed this movie was about the original story. I was mad when the first 5 minutes were very wrong about the actually events. When it turned out it was a horror movie based on the events I was willing to give it a chance.It turned out to be a really good lower budget with good actors and an unexpected plot twist. For a movie in it's class the acting, casting and production value was excellent. Overall a good horror movie for any one who enjoys them and I would definitely recommended it.
