    This was not what I thought it was going to be....

    Where to start, well I guess right from the hop... Within the first 20 seconds of the film its very obvious that there is not a spot of talent among these actors... The "blood and gore scenes" make you turn your head to look at the person beside you just to see if they are laughing along with you. I truly hope to never again see any of these actors on my television screen again, not even for a GEICO commercial. Its about an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back.

    This is not a typical B rated film, its worse. The directing, producing, and writing of this film was just plain pathetic, do yourself a favor and pass on this one! You won't regret it!

    Good movie, but not enough

    Had a chance to watch this over the weekend, and found that I enjoyed it despite a few shortcomings. As a fan of Heroes, I was really happy to see James Kyson Lee not playing a token "Asian guy", but in fact takes center stage and does a good job, IMO.

    The rest of the cast holds up well too. The pacing is good for the most part, but a little slow where is shouldn't have been. Which leads me to my only real complaint about this film and that it doesn't have the amount of blood/gore/cannibalism I expected to see based on the trailer and DVD art. They only touch upon the cannibalism in a few flashbacks (which looked cool) but I was really looking forward to seeing more of that stuff appear later in the film.

    There are some decent blood scenes (removing some buckshot comes to mind) that might make one a bit squeamish, but as a whole the movie fell a little short to be considered a true "horror" for my tastes.

    nothing can be as bad as this flick..was it a flick by the way???

    i watched this lick last night and slept somewhere around 3A.M..and after watching this SO CALLED movie i cursed myself like anything. Why did I watch it..it was one of the worst flicks I have ever seen in my life...No storyline, No acting skills, no directional,,,and the worst was the background music..it sounded like some BABy channel program... Anyway,,I warn everyone to give this flick a big ignore and Please do not watch the trailer as It is really deceiving....It is a total waste for sure and a really bad effort (if there was any)... I would recommend viewers to watch Tom & Jerry classic cartoons instead of this flick. The Chinese guy in this flick was a little better than the rest... A BIG DISASTER...

    Underrated Horror Movie

    Michael "Mike" Scottfield (Robert Michael Ryan) invites his girlfriend Karen (Tiffany) and his friends Matt (George Stults), Jerry (James Kyson-Lee), Samantha (Danielle De Luca) and Megan (Penny Drake) to travel to Sierra, Nevada, to spend the weekend in his cottage in the top of the mountain. When they stop in a bar, the strange Seymour (Michael Berryman) advises that the top of the mountain is not a safe place, and Mike explains to his friends that in 1846, a group of travelers was trapped for months in the mountain while traveling to California. They go insane with the starvation, and without any food, they start killing each other to eat. The episode was known as the Donner massacre.

    While driving a snowmobile, Jerry sees a ghost girl that advises him that the place is not safe. The six friends are surprised by the severe snow and are trapped in the cabin. When they go to the shed to start the generator, they find the body of the caretaker Lyle (John Dobroth) lying on the snow. Sooner Jerry sees other eerie creatures wandering around the cabin. When Matt learns that Jerry is under the medication of the antipsychotic Seraquin, they fear that Jerry may be driving crazy.

    "Necrosis" is a low-budget psychological horror movie that uses the idea of "The Shinning" combined with "Evil Dead", with a man that goes insane in an isolated cabin threatening the lives of his girlfriend and friends. The plot is slowly constructed and the greatest flaw is the lack of explanation why Mike brings his friends to a cabin that belongs to his family for many years in a season of severe snow and without supplies. He certainly should have an idea of the difficulties that they might have in that season. When I saw the IMDb rating, I was afraid that "Necrosis" would be a deceptive film; however, I realize that actually this film is underrated in IMDb. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Sangue na Neve" ("Blood on the Snow")

    As Cold And Lifeless As Its Title

    A group of friends head to the mountains for some wintry R&R but their chosen locale shares a bit of history with The Donner Party legend and from there it's pretty easy to see that there won't be a lot of rest or relaxation for anyone involved.

    All the pieces are in place: A great legend to jump off from, secluded location, foreboding locals, elements of the supernatural, paranoia and a mix of characters at various stages in their lives ensuring potential conflict. While Necrosis incorporates all of those elements, unfortunately it doesn't succeed with any of them. Well, the location is nice and there are a handful of shots that reflect this.

    As with most low-budget indie flicks, the technical shortcomings are plentiful; edits are either too choppy or linger unnecessarily and the sound too often feels looped. However, these faults could easily be forgiven were any other intended aspects accomplished. The films greatest failure is in its soulless facade. The dialogue is flat and stock and the actors do little to breathe any life into it. Not that they've much to work with at all but seriously, there are some professionals here turning out low-rent work. There are moments where you can almost see their thought process; ACTOR: "Recite dialogue, drink from cup, pause, frown, hit mark, speak again". There is nothing organic going on here and that is the most glaring issue of which there are many.

    The female cast come out slightly ahead, not that it is saying much, but at least during the more intimate and dramatic moments Pop Star Tiffany (in her film debut), budding Scream Queen Penny Drake and to a lesser degree Danielle DeLuca come close to conveying genuine emotion. Funny (or is it sad?) when you realize their male counterparts are the more seasoned acting professionals. This includes wasted cameos from genre vets Michael Berryman and Mickey Jones.

    In early interviews, director Jason Stephens tagged the formula for his film as "The Big Chill meets The Shining." This is somewhat telling of his approach because after watching Necrosis, one cannot help but wonder if Stephens has actually seen either film. Ultimately, Necrosis screams amateur from start to finish and it is unfortunate because there were mounds of potential to mine from.
