Ghostkeeper
A group of three friends on a snowmobiling trip find themselves stranded at an abandoned lodge isolated in the mountains. They discover that an old woman resides in the hotel, along with an evil entity that she is keeping in the basement.
Why it matters
A chilly blend of isolated lodge dread and supernatural menace that’s more atmosphere than story.
- Early ’80s Canadian horror tapping the snowbound isolation trope before it became a minor subgenre staple.
- Haunting, frostbitten mood carries the film even when the narrative stalls—perfect for fans who savor setting over plot.
- The old woman and her basement-bound entity offer classic folklore vibes, albeit underdeveloped.
- Not for those craving tight storytelling, but a worthwhile pit stop for lovers of regional horror and eerie, abandoned spaces.
