Goofs:
Continuity: Early in the movie, ski patroller Buster Smith goes out on his own to search for Jennifer a second time (against the wishes of his boss - Tony Rill). While out searching, Buster wipes out on the ski hill and as he falls, his hat and goggles and both skis come off. In the next scene as he is sliding/rolling down the hill, his hat miraculously reappears on his head and one ski becomes reattached. The following scene shows Buster hanging precariously over the edge of a drop with no hat or goggles (or skis) present as it should be. more
Quotes:
Gar Seberg: Ellen, you where right. Coming up here was a dumb idea.
Ellen Seberg: I never said it was a dumb idea. I just thought you might feel better getting a job outside the ski business.
Gar Seberg: This is all I know how to do.
Ellen Seberg: You know what I think, Gar? You really don't want a job. This is just some damn excuse to back off and still feel right about it!

Watch solo in the dark!, 12 May 2004
10/10
Author: firegal2000l from Miami, fl.

This was an excellent movie. There's something about the older scary movies as compared to today's, possibly the sound effects were more convincing then. Sorry, but, hard rock theme music just doesn't mesh with horror as we see in some of today's cheesy thrillers. If you want to enhance the scariness of this film, you must be fair. You must keep all noise and distractions out of the room, turn the phone off, then make it pitch black, preferably view alone, and begin your movie with buttered popcorn and a soda! I did this and I became so frozen with fear, that when my kittens were playing in another room(they don't watch movies), I was sure the noise was bigfoot breaking in! I was so paralyzed with fear, I couldn't get up to use the restroom, I thought bigfoot was hiding behind the wall, and would reach around and grab me. This would not have been so suuccessful, had it not been for SNOWBEAST. I watch this from time to time on the B-MANIA cable channel and can never get enough. The sound effects are great, the suspense , the anticipation surrounding the unknown inside those vast unending dark woods. Don't miss this film, it's a must see for those who enjoyed being scared, see for yourself.
