Jensen Farley Pictures
Directed by Richard Ciupka
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Synapse)
Actresses gather at a remote country house in the dead of winter for an eccentric director's casting call. Samantha Eggar seems to have the inside track since she has spent considerable time with him, even committing herself to a psychiatric ward as training for a part. When the dead bodies start showing up, she is the prime suspect, but since the murders are committed by someone wearing a mask anyone could be the killer. This has more in common with Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None than the slasher genre in which it is generally lumped. The location shooting in snowy Canada gives it plenty of atmosphere and the creative set designs, especially the finale in a basement filled with theatrical props, only add to it.
