Ski Lift to Death (1978 TV Movie)
3/10
Padded-out dud
31 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this cheapie TV movie thriller under the title SNOWBLIND. Amazon Prime are showing a cheap and nasty version of it in which the actors are all blurred except when in extreme close-up. The story mixes together skiing footage with a small-time family drama/perilous situation involving hit men and heroes mixing it up. I found the whole thing a real dud if I'm honest, and that's from someone who considers themselves a fan of '70s-era television movie fare. Interesting actors like Clu Gulager are stuck in support while Don Johnson is pure wood as the hero. The main characters are lifeless and the story is heavily padded with a thirty-minute dancing sequence in a bar. It's only at the climax that the peril really hits and even then it's very diluted. For a proper ski lift thriller check out the excellent FROZEN.
