Red Snow

Reading the External Reviews on IMDb hooked me. The reviews were all over the map. That is unusual. And very curious. So I checked it out. The story is very Stephen Kingy, with lots of little twists and turns to keep everyone interested right to the last scene. Some of the dialog (not all, but SOME) is razor sharp and funny. Especially the bit about the poor genocided Candy Elves. For a low budget indie, the production values are sharp and the acting above average. The film has already won some awards in the horror niche. Best of all it holds the interest which, as I keep pointing out in my 1700+ reviews, is what film is supposed to be about. Could easily find a cult following. Deserves one.

It's cute and quirky. The acting ranges from decent to not but the production value, primarily the cabin and christmas decorations, add to the better than average rating. Is it Shakespeare? No. Frankly, it isn't even at a Lifetime channel movie level but the female has an endearing charm and handles the comedic aspect well. There is some gore, enough that I took a preventative eye closing just in case guts went a flyin'. Would I watch it again? Yeah, sure, maybe once more but not more than that. Kudos to the writers for that clever ending. And now a random sentence for the required characters.

I was immediately drawn in by the cover/poster for the 2021 horror comedy movie "Red Snow" as I stumbled upon it here in 2022. Had I heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it? No. Did I even know what it was about? No. It hardly mattered, as a horror comedy with vampires that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuation to sit down and watch what writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch had in store.

The storyline was actually fair enough. Now, it has enough contents to support a single viewing, but I doubt that it can do more than just that. For me, personally, then this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time.

"Red Snow" is a fun approach on the vampire genre, and on that account then writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch certainly managed to come up with something unique enough to stand out.

The movie was nicely carried by lead actress Dennice Cisneros (playing Olivia) and Nico Bellamy (playing Luke). In addition, the movie also had the likes of Laura Kennon (playing Jackie) and Vernon Wells (playing Julius) on the cast list.

Visually then "Red Snow" was actually good. Now, hold your horses, because "Red Snow" is not a movie that was heavy on special effects, and as such, not really dependent on having great special effects. Whatever special effects that were used in the movie, however, were doing their job to the letter.

I am rating "Red Snow" a five out of ten stars.

"Red Snow" is the Christmas-vampire and comedy-horror film you will have to add to your list of movies to watch. The movie is based on the vampire-obsessed wannabe novelist Olivia Romo (Denicce Cisneros) who chooses to spend Christmas alone in her deceased mother's Lake Tahoe cabin. The film uses the Lake Tahoe setting which is also a nice Christmas setting. You will see a comedy that is redefining the vampire world, by criticizing the rules set out before. This movie tries to bring the vampire legacy into reality and to my opinion it worked out. I am not a fan of vampire movies but this story is so different. The acting of the two leads Dennice Cisneros (Olivia) and Nico Bellamy (Luke) plays out perfectly. Just awesome! The interaction between these two and the dialogues is just marvellous. The comedy comes from seeing how Olivia must react to each situation. "Red Snow" accomplish in making a vampire movie that is not really all about vampires and blood-shed. This movie is completely underrated and is definitely a must see, even when you are not into this genre of movie.

I do think this is a pretty interesting type of vampire movie that I have seen. The story is unique with a struggling vampire romance novelist encountering a vampire who slowly forms a relationship with each other. The movie reminds me of Night of the Living Deb where the movie has the charm to it with its characters and the humor it presented here. I like how causal the main character is with her meeting the vampire and building a relationship with him throughout. And I like the scene where he helps her with the novel that she writing about. Also, things get violent later in the movie which will please any horror fans. And the ending is something that I didn't expect.

The comedy itself is a hit or miss with a couple of funny lines or moments from the characters. The funniest scene in the movie is where he helps her with her novel and giving out advice to her and some of the dialogue is pretty funny.
