Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

WisdomsHammer An interesting premise, a beautiful setting, an okay cast with a couple of exceptions, and an absolutely terrible script. This movie had scenes that I wanted to end that wouldn't, ridiculous dialogue (including some seriously bad singing), and characters that easily fell apart. It was painful but I kept watching, hoping it would get better. Hoping for at least a good payoff at the end. That didn't happen. It ended with several stolen cliches. What an unfortunate movie. I think it might be watchable if you have the sound off and make up your own dialogue. Maybe. Good luck. I gave it an extra star for the beautiful and effective setting which was a nice, secluded, snowed in lodge. Remind you of another movie? Yeah. Me too. A much better one.

Joseph Brando The wintery Canadian mountains which provide the desolate setting are only slightly snowier than the plot, which finds withdrawn, teetering-on-the-edge-of-crazy Jenny, her rotten boyfriend and their slutty blonde chic friend stranded at a shuttered snowbound inn. Seemingly abandoned, it isn't long before they realize they aren't the only ones there. "Ghostkeeper" is a textbook example of how much a movie can be made or broken by its soundtrack. Many long, inactive treks through this abandoned ski lodge would be unbearable if not for the sinister score - which will ring familiar to most horror-nerds as nearly identical to the one from fellow 1981 Canadian horror film, Prom Night - both done by the same guy. If you need a movie with a cohesive plot, you certainly should look elsewhere. But if you can enjoy a spooky, hazy film which is heavy on dreadful atmosphere and creepy music while remaining non-existent on gore and nudity - you've met your match. It certainly is an odd duck, especially for the time period in which it was made. It's reputation as a hidden gem is well-deserved and it will come as a nice surprise to jaded horror fans who think they've seen it all.

anxietyresister I must have missed something in this flick, because half the time you don't know what the hells going on. We have a young couple on holiday in some snowy mountain region of Canada, accompanied by a sluttish friend of theirs who has the hots for the man. One day they are out on their jet-skis when suddenly their machines pack out!! Oh no!! Luckily for them, there's a long abandoned old hotel nearby, presided over by a mad old bat with two sons.. one a creepy David-Blaine look-alike, the other a flesh eating monster. Despite the place being creepier than the Bates motel, they end up spending the night there and the blood really starts to ooze.. at least that's what the back of the video says because I can't for the life of me figure out where the ugly chap as depicted on the front cover is supposed to be, the so-called terrifying freak in this is a rubbish actor who walks with a stoop and is only ever sighted in total darkness so to hide the poor make-up job. And as for the promise of gore, don't make me laugh!! There is less than half-a-dozen killings in the film, all achieved with the minimum of exposure and some you don't see at all. The acting is universally diabolical, But special mention must go to the old witch whose crackly voice is so over-the-top and irritating you'll be reaching for the mute button in minutes. On a side note, I know in a film this bad some geek-boys will be after a bit of nudity to liven things up, and there is one bath scene that seems initially promising. But when our heroine leans back in the tub (After supposedly stripping totally naked) there is a large white strip of material covering her front!! Doh!! Not only is this a total let-down, but also a glaring continuity error. So put it together, and what have we got? No thrills, spills or indeed chills of any description, an awful screenplay, laughable performances and a copious lack of flesh = a sorry piece of trash that should be avoided at all costs. Don't expect this one to get a DVD release anytime soon. Oh and one last thing.. The ending is one giant UH?!

brandonsites1981 A group of friends having trouble with their tranportation are forced to seek shelter at an isolated snow covered hotel, but their is something spooky and aloof about this hotel. There are some atmospheric moments, but this is a clunky slow paced thriller. The final twist is good enough, but it doesn't justify sitting this this over long flick.
