Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A group of 3 men and 3 women head off to a remote cabin in the woods, with both them and the audience getting flashbacks of what the Donner party did in the mountains near Lake Tahoe back in the 1800s. What I did like is that they didn't stereotype the Asian guy, as his character slowly gets scarier throughout the movie. What I didn't like is that all three female characters really got on my nerves, like why their men would bother saving them from something dangerous with all of their nagging. Furthermore, the acting is low energy from everyone. The one highlight was that they dug up Michael Berryman of The Hills Have Eyes fame, and he can always be relied on to play some weirdo well.

Three young couples go to a snowy cabin to enjoy a long weekend. What none of them realize is that the cabin sits on the spot where the Donner party massacre happened in 1846. Apparently the spirits of the Donner party are around and begin appearing to the group and different members of the group begin to suffer mental breakdowns. What could've been a fun low budget blood bath in the snow turns out to be an ineffective and poorly written horror film. The characters and their actions are very inconsistent from scene to scene and this, along with some poor dialogue takes a toll on the acting as well. A couple chills are provided and some blood eventually is spilled but the characters never really connect on any level with the audience making this film pretty pointless in the end.

Michael "Mike" Scottfield (Robert Michael Ryan) invites his girlfriend Karen (Tiffany) and his friends Matt (George Stults), Jerry (James Kyson-Lee), Samantha (Danielle De Luca) and Megan (Penny Drake) to travel to Sierra, Nevada, to spend the weekend in his cottage in the top of the mountain. When they stop in a bar, the strange Seymour (Michael Berryman) advises that the top of the mountain is not a safe place, and Mike explains to his friends that in 1846, a group of travelers was trapped for months in the mountain while traveling to California. They go insane with the starvation, and without any food, they start killing each other to eat. The episode was known as the Donner massacre. While driving a snowmobile, Jerry sees a ghost girl that advises him that the place is not safe. The six friends are surprised by the severe snow and are trapped in the cabin. When they go to the shed to start the generator, they find the body of the caretaker Lyle (John Dobroth) lying on the snow. Sooner Jerry sees other eerie creatures wandering around the cabin. When Matt learns that Jerry is under the medication of the antipsychotic Seraquin, they fear that Jerry may be driving crazy. "Necrosis" is a low-budget psychological horror movie that uses the idea of "The Shinning" combined with "Evil Dead", with a man that goes insane in an isolated cabin threatening the lives of his girlfriend and friends. The plot is slowly constructed and the greatest flaw is the lack of explanation why Mike brings his friends to a cabin that belongs to his family for many years in a season of severe snow and without supplies. He certainly should have an idea of the difficulties that they might have in that season. When I saw the IMDb rating, I was afraid that "Necrosis" would be a deceptive film; however, I realize that actually this film is underrated in IMDb. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Sangue na Neve" ("Blood on the Snow")

Tiffany has recently decided to embark on an independent film career. Her first film is Necrosis, which also stars Hero's star James Kyson Lee, along with 7th Heaven's George Stults. I had high hopes for Tiffany in this movie based on early trailers and news. Unfortunately, of the six main cast members, hers is probably the smallest role.The story is about a group of friends who go off to spend a weekend in the snow at a remote cabin which just happens to be near where the Donner Party massacre happened. When a bad snowstorm comes through, they are trapped at the cabin, and must fend off the Donner ghosts, as well as one of their own who seems to be slipping fast into a delusional state.Half-way through the film Tiffany aka Karen decides to go for help with her boyfriend. I won't spoil the results, but it did leave me with a few unanswered questions about her fate. I feel the movie was a little slow overall and the ending a bit too fast. A better balance of action and suspense would have made it all felt a bit more even throughout.All that said, my favorite part of the DVD was the behind the scenes feature, which gets my 10 rating. There are quite a few candid moments with Tiffany, and you can really get a better understanding of just how hard this movie was to make being that they actually did shoot this during a snow storm.
