During a New Year’s Eve snowmobiling trip, a group of friends veer off path to explore a patch of private property. Stranded by a heavy snowfall, they stumble upon an abandoned hotel and seek refuge for the night. But before long, they meet a menacing woman who shares the building with her knife-wielding son and a mysterious creature who feeds on human flesh. As the visiting trio comes under attack, they struggle to make a safe escape – and maintain their grip on reality.
An essential entry in the New Year’s Eve horror canon, Jim Makichuk’s Ghostkeeper is a dread-inducing descent into wintery isolation and madness. Long regarded as the Canadian answer to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this slasher staple is a Canuxploitation classic and one of the enduring highlights of the tax shelter era. (Jim Makichuk, Canada, 1981, 87 min.)
Newly scanned and restored in 4K from the only known complete 35mm theatrical print by Canadian International Pictures.
