Snowbound - Gefesselt Und Gequält

A whodunit in a snowy setting. It is not a great scenario, but the setting really is were all the flaws are present. The snow scenery is great. Five people, all naked, suddenly waken at the same time, and rush to a cabin where there is a roaring fire. On the mantle are stockings with their names on it, and in the stockings are their underwear. The were drugged, placed on the snow naked, yet here were no footprints around them. In the cold air, one did not see their breaths. They all knew where to run to the cabin. They all should have been dead of hypothermia. And later, Lisa wanders off to try and find help, having on stockings on her feet, and a light covering, and after wandering for 'miles', she winds up going in a circle. And even though she drags snow in on her socks to the fireplace in the cabin, that snow doesn't melt quickly, not did her breath show on the wandering. So give credit to the special effects people to try and make it look like what they did was real. They find a naked dead body upstairs, and when they come back down, there is a note tied to a rock telling them they have until 5 o'clock to discover who killed her, or suffer they all will suffer consequences. They had all attended the same erotic party thrown by Jerome, and were all drugged. In flashbacks, they show them at the party, which seems a very dull party. And one soon doesn't care about any of them.

There is a good movie here - it may be buried under a lot of snow (no pun intended and no drug innuendo meant). The running time seems to be an object of discussion - but I don't think I watched a cut version of the movie.

There is nudity and there is blood and mayhem of sorts. Though nothing too much - I think the movie never intended to go full Saw or even Cube (the latter being a more apt comparison) ... you could compare it with other horror movie (franchises) too of course.

But there is not enough juice to keep it as interesting as many of the other efforts have. I've seen worse movies, especially when it comes to cinematography. But maybe that is not something you care about.

Really enjoyed watching the movie! Sexiest actors ever! Anya Bay is WOW!

I enjoyed watching this movie. The cast is great, I loved the performance by Anya Bay, fantastic cinematography and production design. Sex, murder, and mystery - yes common. However, there are a few unpredictable plot twists and turns throughout the movie, but I'm not going to go into detail. It also has a surprise ending. I would definitely recommend this movie!

Just not worth the watch. Really poor acting! It didn't make sense, the characters were stupid and the plot was boring.
