This is the last film in my Julie K. Smith marathon. Did I really get through all of her films in a week? I feel sad that it's over. Maybe it wasn't good to leave this film till last. It's one of those if-you-blink-you'll-miss-her roles. Her character isn't even named.
Jeremiah McPherson was locked in a mental hospital after killing 11 people. 20 years later he escapes. Bodies are piling up faster than the police can count them, but one of the officers suspects that the killer is someone else. Nevertheless, the police pursue McPherson into the snow covered mountains. At the same time a group of cheerleaders is stranded in the mountains after their bus breaks down.
The film is good, but no masterpiece. In the middle it seems to be padded as if the writer ran out of ideas. It would have been no shame to let the film be 15 minutes shorter. That would have improved it.
