The Chill Factor

A trio of young couples is on a snowmobiling holiday when one of them is seriously hurt in an accident. Desperate for shelter, they happen upon an abandoned lodge in the middle of nowhere.

After noticing religious artifacts everywhere, they decide to play a "wheel pf fortune"-type game (think: Ouija board) they've found. Bizarre occurrences and deadly "accidents" soon follow.

THE CHILL FACTOR is a slow-moving supernatural horror movie with a few ghoulish set pieces. While the characters are pretty vapid, they're not annoying enough to ruin everything. Gorehounds will find sustenance here, especially during the death-by-icicle sequence!

If you have a taste for the occult and don't mind a bit of gruesomeness, then this might hit the spot...

Ok, so this isn't the greatest movie around so here is a list of the good parts:

No real nudity, although there is a lot of underwear shots.

Killings include: Driving into barbed wire fence A hanging Icicle in the eye Demon possession 1 body blown up Sliced throat by ceiling fan

Bottom line: If you keep your finger on the fast forward button, this is an okay movie.

Supernatural type slasher set out in the snowy wilderness. Three couples find themselves in a spot of bother when out racing on their snowmobiles one has a serious accident and they take overnight refuge in what looks like a creepy, abandoned summer camp. They discover an unusual type of Ouija board and soon an evil spirit takes hold of the injured man. This scenario did remind me somewhat slightly of Evil Dead, only that is a horror classic and this one certainly is not. The first part of the movie is taken up by snow mobiles etc, gets a bit slow. The opening scene is one of the worst bar fights I have ever seen. Looks like they roped in some of the locals judging by the serious lack of acting ability. The killings are OK but none are very gory, there is some sex but this movie is tame enough for a UK 15 certificate. I think The Crap Factor would be a more appropriate title, however I still prefer this to the bulk of 21st Century horror movies though. There is a creepy musical rendition of the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice", that was pretty cool. AKA Demon Possessed.

This movie was extremely awful. The cover looks cool. I will never again do that rent a movie just for the cover, they probably spent more money on the cover than the movie itself. The acting, storyline, and everything else is painfully awful. Everything you expect in a B-movie. This movie wasn't too bad, it's funny. It's just plain BAD!!!!!

I give this film 0 out of 10

Group of friends go on a snowski holiday in the middle of nowhere. Starts with them meeting up at a pub and almost getting into a brawl with local then they have an argument amongst each other before taking off at speed into the snow.

Naturally one of these kids has a snowski accident and they have to take refuge from the cold in a nearby cabin that has a possessing ouja board. People get possessed, have sex and get killed. Most of them anyhow.

Interesting note, The Chill Factor isn't the first horror on snow-ski's. Ghost Keeper came out over a decade earlier and its a little bit better albeit without any sex scene's but also without those annoying daytime character commentary's which almost don't ever work in horrors I think.

The acting in Chill Factor isn't any better either and the daytime tv music kills any chance of sense of unease developing. What we do get is a cute snow-ski chase at the end.
