The Chill Factor (1993)
Also known as Demon Possessed, The Chill Factor centers on a group of snowmobilers who end up trapped at an abandoned summer camp where occult goings on took place. Upon finding an awesome looking ouija board called the Devils' Eye...well you can probably imagine what comes next.
A film soundtracked by what can only be described as elevator muzak which is quite hypnotic at times meaning i was watching the on screen nonsense in a bit of a daze which is probably the best way to see The Chill Factor as on the whole it's a mixed bag.
Of course anyone who isn't captured and swept away by the atmosphere may find parts of this a bit dull and it needs to be noted that unlike The Prey i reviewed yesterday the acting here borders on the abysmal.
The murders when they happen are fun, especially the icicle through the eye, and the fact they all play out to the unearthly muzak back drop which is unflinching in it's constant drone gave them an especially eerie dream like nature as did the cabin which itself was very Evil Dead like, but Evil Dead in the snow. How cool is that?
