Review of Winterskin

The Illegal chroma levels in this movie has potentially kept this film from recieving high praise. Basically not too dark or not too bright. (QA) Quality Assurance will reject films for TV, Cable or DVD that don't abide or meet these standard limits. The problem with independent straight to web movies are these conditions don't apply. The high lights coupled with the brightness of the snow at the start of this movie and subsequent scenes with blinding light peering through the cabin windows were painful to see. Inside the cabin was the complete opposite, not as bad but overly dark with a color temperature too hot and exhausting saturation but it fit the mood for the most part and leveled out eventually. In all honesty this film did not need the gimmicky post production antics & mistakes. It was phenomenally filmed and written. Old lady Agnes played by Rowena Bentley is an absolute gem. Beautifully mature funny while equally scary. Billy played by David Lenik also does a fine job. The pace, storyline, special FX and music were brilliant and deserves praise. The setting may seem like a parody of the classic "Misery" and a few other movies which most certainly was the intent but "Winterskin" has a firm agenda and it sticks to the goal at hand. Creepy bloody comical and fun. Definitely deserves a higher Imdb rating than 4 and I give it a 7 (Some Praise) and would definitely recommend this film for horror comedy fans you should really enjoy it.
