Michigan-sploitation wins the month for me. Now we need Suspended Animation (2001).

This looks amazing. Surprised I've never heard of it.

Never heard of this one, but it looks fun. I rarely even buy VS releases that often unless I stumble upon the rare and occasional used copies locally.

It's OK. I have the Troma disc, which looks acceptable and is in the same aspect ratio as the BD. Not worth upgrading IMO.

Looks like Evil Dead and Winterbeast had a baby…

Just my kind of schlock…

Yeah, an Evil Dead-inspired Wendigo horror movie filmed in the snow is incredibly hard to pass up, no matter how amateurish I read it is...

It certainly sounds like it has some good elements, the stills of the effects work sold me, looked more well done than I had expected.

Filmed in Michigan...gotta have this one.

Much like Spookies, it would appear that the effects work is actually the most impressive aspect of the movie (somebody correct me if I'm wrong.)

"Cabin in the woods" is my favorite trope. You add snow to the equation and yeah, I doubt I'll be able to talk myself out of this one.

Definitely. Gotta support the local film industry!

Blu looks and sounds great. I been wanting to upgrade this one for a while.

Topher76 · 02-21-2023, 08:07 PM

Frostbiter was everything I imagined it would be (and my initial Winterbeast/Evil Dead comparison was pretty spot on). It is awesomely fun.

It’s also the most “Michigan” feeling movie I’ve ever seen, which is also awesome. Like I’m pretty sure I could identify which cast members were yoopers or trolls by accent.

Would have enjoyed this a hell of a lot more were it not for that annoying music.
