The plan was for best friends V (Victoria Mirrer) and Maddy (McKenna
Parsons) to spend a simply girls weekend together - but these best
laid-out plans soon get hijacked by their friends Becca (Alana Phillips)
and Fiona (Nicolette Sweeney), who have been invited to some rich guy's
party and just insist for V and Maddy to come with them. Once there, V is
almost immediately disgusted by the loud decadence of the other party
guests while Maddy is quite pleased that their host Erik (Chris Goodwin)
shows definite interest in her - and Becca and Fiona are only after liquor
and a good shag anyways. But the longer the stay at the place lasts, the
more convinced V becomes that this is not just some weird party by the
nouveaux riches but has all the hallmarks of a cult ritual - but by that
time Maddy already thinks she's either jealous or just crazy, and the only
two who even listen to her are caretaker/bartender Jack (Jamie Dufault),
who has taken a definite liking to her but seems to be overly busy looking
the other way in terms of the goings-on, and the overly cynical Cailyn
(Sarah Nicklin), who seems to be 100% in on things but seems to have too
much fun sabotaging things to really give a ratfart about V's suspicions
...
As horror flicks about evil cults go, Everwinter Night,
which also borrows from the folk horror genre, is pretty fun, basically
because of its light-hearted directorial approach paired with a script
that's peppered with some sharp dialogue and never shies away from bits of
comedy tonot weigh down the mood too quickly or give away too much too
soon. And what really carries the movie are its well fleshed-out
characters played by a competent cast, characters relatable enough to draw
one in - and all of this eventually results in pretty cool horror
entertainment.
