Although this is a low-budget movie, I thought it was a pretty good one. It's about Alicia and Bill, who are trying to get away from the stressful envirement of the big city, after Bill, who is a writer, is shot by some criminals. They plan a short vacation, and go to the mountains to get some rest. After they get there, the daughter of the owner of the park, is murdered by a man named Kale. This man escapes, and will be found by the couple, who take him inside to recover from the cold. Soon he is disturbing the atmosphere, and he tries to steal the heart of Alicia. They seem to know each other from the past, and what happens next,well, just watch the movie and find out!

The acting wasn't always of a high level, but Lysette Anthony did a good job as Alicia. Anyway, I found this a pretty good movie, although it's low-budget. If it's on TV, try is out!

The title is no mistake, this is an open copy of DEAD CALM except with a snowy woodland cabin as the setting rather than a becalmed yacht on the ocean. Lysette Anthony and Chris Mulkey are the ordinary couple whose lives are shattered by the arrival of an exhausted hunter at their cabin, and it all goes from there. Some of the extra twists are fairly good (there are most twists here than in DEAD CALM) but it's let down by a budget feel and by some of the shrill acting, aside from Mulkey who shines in a lead role for once.

I liked this movie. Its worth watching. Very interesting twists. It may be a low budget movie. Mostly shot around around a single apartment. The setup play of the movie is portrayed so romantic so that the impact of the coming suspense reach the audience with expected depth. Characterization of a few roles are very good. Like the owner who runs the apartment. Its adding more creepy suspense and fear to the audience. That adds more thrills to the story line.

Lysette Anthony and Michael Champion are performed very good in the lead roles. Casting of Peter Dobson was also very apt. Richard Brandes and Kurt Anderson developed a well narrated script and story.

Cheers to the entire crew.
