Product Description

A chillling testament to the evil of a deadly creature of the North. According to Native American lore, it will rise to strike terror into the hearts of those who desecrate its resting place! In the spirit of Evil Dead 2, with music from Ron Asheton (Iggy and the Stooges) and Elvis Hilter, Frostbiter brings the wrath of the Wendigo to hideous, terrifying life. A pair of hunters find themselves on the run from a predator no park ranger could warn them about! An evil force called the Wendigo has been killing any human unfortunate enough to cross its path, until a hunter called The Guardian faces down the beast and traps him in a mystic circle made from the bones of his victims. However, two careless hunters looking for deer accidentally shoot the Guardian, and stumble upon the magic circle. Suddenly the Wendigo has been released, and they find themselves on the run from the beast. As they try to think of a way to keep the creature at bay, they are met by a strange! woman who claims she can stop the Wendigo. One of the hapless hunters is Ron Asheton, known to rock fans as the guitarist with pioneering punk rock band Iggy and The Stooges. This DVD comes uncut with many extras, including the original trailer, real life wendigo sightings, excerpts from the Frostbiter comic book and an interview with Ron Asheton.

Customer Reviews

Good late night fun
This film whilst obviously not a classic is still worth a watch if you like bad horror films. Owing a lot to Evil Dead II in terms of atmosphere and plot it still has its own unique feel. At times it can actually be scary. Some parts are gory as well. For some reason though the best word to describe it is "blue". Not because of porn, but lighting. Nearly every shot within the cabin that the heroes are holed up in are completely blue tinted. The only gripes with this film are the backing soundtrack (which is very funny at times itself) is too loud and the evil monster - when you finally see it, it is clay-mation and just doesn't fit with the rest of the film. Aside from that though this is the perfect film to stay up to watch late at night with friends. It is very enjoyable and a great film, although for no reason you can really comprehend.

PHAT!
Well, at first I wasn't sure what was up with this movie, but it was really cool. It was funny, creepy and entertaining. Low budget at best.

Better than most independents
I don't know where all the bad reviews are coming from, but I actually thought this was pretty entertaining. Yeah, Asheton's acting was pretty over the top, but some of the acting was pretty good. The girl who plays Sandy was really convincing in her role. SHe reminds me of a young Demi Moore.The dude who's hand was eaten by the chili was good too. The special effects were better than most Troma pics. as for the soundtrack, I don't know why they drowned out the dialog. Maybe troma should remaster it or something. Anyway, I liked it, and would say don't rent it if you expect Lord of the Rings or some kind of blockbuster film. Do rent it if you appreciate an interesting indie film. And have a sense of humor.
