![]() Then throughout the chase scenes we have flashbacks of the couple interspersed throughout. Now I didn’t need a massive great deal of story here to be fair but this movie fell into a little bit of a trap, because it wants to be a straight up horror/thriller and it hits the right tone in those moments however it spends more time than you usually would at the beginning just getting to know the couple and by extension making the audience like them. Unfortunately it’s the story that let’s Let It Snow down somewhat. The creepy receptionist with no eyebrows is pretty good at being creepy and having no eyebrows (did she have eyebrows? Or am I misremembering this, just seems like something I really noticed, oh well) however this character comes across as an afterthought and adds little to the story. Hafner is decent, for the time he is in the movie, and the relationship between the two is put across nicely on screen. ![]() I enjoyed her moments of strength but also felt an honesty in her weaknesses. Meanwhile our two leads are really strong, with an emphasis on Sakhno who is especially strong and really has a look of a person who has been through some sh*t by the end of the film. One of the big set pieces of the movie is an avalanche and the way these guys shot this has your heart in your throat. ![]() In terms of cinematography Let It Snow looks bloody incredible! I mean, is it really that hard to shoot a mountain that looks good? But the use of the wide shots to really show the expansive loneliness when Mia is on her own is just… beautiful. Golden! Let It Snow does two out of three here and we are going to get into them. Make sure your script is tight, make sure you cast properly and get yourself a good DOP…. I always say when it comes to low-budget movies, as long as you do the small stuff right then the rest of your movie should really fall into place. After being seemingly attacked by a leather clad jet ski rider, Mia finds herself separated from Max and must now battle the elements and her attacker if she is to survive.ĭon’t let the title of this movie fool you, we are not in Christmas territory here, there is no Santa Claus and don’t expect to see any snowmen… Well actually maybe one snowman. Unfazed by the lack of eyebrows and over abundance of creepiness our couple head to the slopes and because “movies” it’s all about to go horribly wrong. Upon arriving they are warned off going to the slope by the creepy eyebrow-less receptionist. Max has brought Mia to a resort that has an infamous slope with the intentions of proposing to his love. Mia and Max are young couple who love nothing more than snowboarding.
