Ghostkeeper (1982)

American Cinema Marketing
Directed by Jim Makichuk
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Code Red)

Three snowmobilers in the Canadian Rockies get stranded at a closed down lodge. They find an old lady, her strange son and a human monster in the basement. One of the girls quickly becomes dinner for the thing in the basement, the other two argue a lot until it becomes apparent they are next. It's slow moving, which can be a good thing, but in this case is unsatisfying. The explanation for the "family" in the lodge is not very convincing. It might be good for a snowy night or a double feature with The Shining, though it pales in comparison to that movie.
