Ghostkeeper (1981)

Ghostkeeper (1981, CDN) C-87m. *** D: Jim Makichuk. Starring Riva Spier, Murray Ord, Sheri McFadden, Georgie Collins, Les Kimber, Billy Grove, John MacMillan. Weird little horror chiller, set in wintry Canada, about a trio of vacationers, who get lost with their snowmobiles, save themselves into hotel-like mansion in the middle of nowhere. The only person living there is a strange old woman. What is her purpose there? And is there someone (something?) else in the house? Atmospheric exercise in suspense, not without faults, but generally well-done. Creepy score by Paul Zaza. Collins, as the old lady, gives a chilling performance. Film has interesting parallels to Stanley Kubrick's SHINING (1980).
