Epic Horror-1980-I cant believed i have never seen this film in its entirety. The music, colors, and acting in the first 20min. were enough as a kid (hell, even as an adult) to make me walk out the room in where it was playing. Well, now i know what i've been missing out in.
Synopsis:
Jack, a former teacher has taken a job caretaking a ski resort hotel during its off seasons from November to March due to the crazy yearly blizzards. His job is to mantain and watch over the Hotel with his wife Winnie, and son Danny. Strange things occure and Jack suffers a possible mental break down, possibly supernatural or just plain Madness.
All-in-All:
I agree with USA Todays claime of this film being the "First Epic Horror Film", what ever happend to great horror stories like this? It's interesting that we replacied great story telling and great logical character development as opposed to the 'Wet hair in face white asian woman crawling on the floor' movies of our days. Seeing this film inspires me to look to the past for great cinima with directors using limitations and obsticles and overcoming them with no aid of Green Screen/Computer graphics.
