Plot:
For a group of young couples, a snowmobiling trip turns into a waking nightmare when one of their number is thrown from their vehicle and knocked unconscious. Seeking refuge in a nearby abandoned summer camp, the group find themselves holed up in a cabin filled with bizarre and ominous religious artefacts. As night falls, the discovery of a Ouija board amidst the dusty relics awakens a terrifying evil…
Reviews:
“It’s not a lost classic…but if you’re in the mood for some demons and cheese… it’ll do the trick. Chill Factor features a ridiculous narration, a convoluted ending, a decapitation by fan, drinking while snowmobiling…” 80s Horror Central
“Just saw this with a group of people and it went over very well. The redneck scenes were hilarious, The kills were actually decent (death by ceiling fan!), the dialogue was atrocious, and the snowmobile chase scene was incredible. This movie was a lot of fun.” Cropsy, Letterboxd
