Critique: Best viewed with a book to read. Dreadfully boring! The actors often give the impression of struggling with remembering the lines. The kids are particularly hard to watch. Ralph's of Mice and Men rendition is particularly hard to watch. Yes hthat's former teen heartthrob Leif Garrett as x. The first murder is more suggestive than gory, and may have been effective, but is excruciating in slow motion.

Plot Summary: Winter, a yellow Ford Econoline van winds through mountain paths before sliding and rolling off a cliff. a van flips off the road and the dead are buried. The survivor is helped off by an impudent group of orphans and a wierd nun, Sister Hanna and the black kid-orphan Brian plunder the dead and announces "Four present and accounted for. Everybody else is flat dead!" The congregation robs the bodies and drag off the living to their lair.   The guy driving the van chases the kids and they assume he's died. "Brian! Christopher! The chidren resolve "He'll never take us back there!" Sister Hannah kills a man and all the children help. Meanwhile, Loving Husband Rick and wife x head off for in the caddillac with chains and antifreeze for a weehkend with her father Poppa Doc and uncle Harve their business associate at Lake Arrowhead Villahge.  Harve is overlooked in favor of son-in-law Doctor for head of the new complex.  The party of six arrives at their chalet. Behind the chalet the tiny crew struggles across the landscape. Ralph (of mice and men) the retard is yanked around by poppa doc's girltoy. She shows Ralph how to make love. Rick's girl and poppa's bitch slug it out over bitch's claim to have had him. Just then Harve's pig shows up and laughs at their "fun". Crummy Ralph tells his rabbits of the strange games people play.  Rick and x Rick admits to having slept with douchie. On rout to Lake Arrowhead Village Ski Resort is expected to be frozen. After the first murder, the kids matter of factly drag the corpse off. Besotted Ruth keeps pushing Harv to put his best foot forward with Pappa Doc. Sister Hanna and the kids show up at the lodge, claiming to have been in an accident, and are taken in with open arms. The fakely precocious David claims to be an actor. The group soon sets up the takeover. They set up some impromptu explosives for "the job". They start with Ralph....
