I saw this movie under the title Blood Snow, V+'d from Horror Zone though, curiously, IMDB have no listing of this movie under that name.
So what happens?

Six pals head up to an isolated cabin in what appears to be Colorado, US of A, for a spot of R and R. One of their number regales them with a tale of the mountain they are staying on being host to a cannibalistic incident over a hundred years ago and, when one of them begins to see phantoms, it seems strange occurrences are afoot. Well, it's not long before the same guy is having a full on psychotic episode and, as sure as a severe bout of vomiting follows a poorly cooked piece of chicken, bullets start to fly.

Whilst hardly a quality movie, this is intriguing enough throughout, as you are never entirely sure what is happening.
The actors, whilst far from being talented, are workmanlike - even ex-pop starlet Tiffany! - and deliver their lines in a manner that at least suggests they have read the script before the day of the shoot and in terms of tension, this delivers on occasion.
Listen, it's not going to set your world on fire, make no mistake, but I enjoyed it well enough.
I'll never watch it again, though.
