Definitely low budget, phony snow. Didn't believe it was Alaska in December. Little things by a good director could have helped. If I was tired, hungry & cold, I wouldn't let a cup of hot cocoa sit and get cold; ditto the plate of food in front of me. Take a sip or a bite. If you stand up during a serious conversation, don't just stand behind your chair. Why get up? It was also odd how serious things like the aunt stumbling, hitting her head & being out cold was waved away with "Are you okay?"; "I'm fine." Besides a head bandage, no mention of a possible concussion. The hotel clerk was a lousy employee, ignoring waiting customers & later asking them why'd they bother going into town. A Script Doctor was very much needed!
