I love movies that take place in snow covered settings.
There is an extra level of isolation and unquiet that happens which takes a
horror movie’s suspense that much further. Great examples include “The Shining”,
“30 Days or Night”, and “Cold Prey”. The French film “Mutants” is another fine
example, an otherwise typical zombie outbreak story that happens to take place
in a large abandoned building out in the snow covered mountain side. Half of
the film focuses on Marco and his slow and painful transformation into a
zombie/mutant and Sonia who is trying to ease his pain and find help. The other
half of the movie is about Sonia trying to stay alive once other mutants arrive
and trying to not find herself in the position where she has to kill her
infected lover. There is nothing truly exceptional about this film, in the
zombie genre or French style, but I still really enjoy watching this one every
few months as it’s simply a solid, entertaining flick.
