Another entertaining miss from the great swedish auter Mats "Ninja Mission" Helge, this time he's in slasher territory! The hair metal band Solid Gold (played by real life hair metal band Easy Action) and a bunch of horny models are shooting a rock video in an abandoned (?) factory in the snowy mountains - but guess what, the factory is also inhabited by a family of deranged mutants who have not grasped the concept of hospitality! Bad but entertaining flick with lots of cheezy moments, bad fashion and clumsy gore. In what other film can you watch Kee Marcello from Europe get decapitated?

I also have a DVD-R of the cut swedish release.
