I'm all for these destination horror films so, in this case, a (closed) ski mountain resort will do.
Since this was filmed in 2001, proper technology is lacking, such as cellphones and social media, so we're left with a handheld video camera and walkie-talkies. To be honest, it was a bit refreshing, but would've made this film a lot better (and shorter, but, once again, it was filmed in 2001).
In the 2000s, ski and snowboarding were dominated by clothing lines such as JNCOs and words like "dude", which this film used way beyond the allowed limit. The film also includes your typical typecast characters, including the stoners, men with foreign accents, and townsfolk who talk about unfortunate events in their town. It was <I>Friday The 13th</i>-esque at first, but amounted to nothing after all.
There were some creative kills, but nothing to write home about. We're given too many still shots of blood pouring from bodies, but without the bodies. It doesn't do any justice for the film, and the same goes for the ending. When the reveal happens, a sigh of relief overcame me, knowing that the film had a few minutes until the end credits splashed across the screen.

Stay away from this mountain.
