"He started working on the script when he had a stroke.. of good luck!" geeeeeez man! lol

this channel should be more popular than it is

Creepy, atmospheric horror movies are my favorite type, as well. Never dismiss the idea of how scary it can be to just be all alone in a remote location.

Man I gotta say you really make some entertaining content on top of that I had never heard of many the movies you have reviewed or explored but none the less me and my mates thank you for some excellent random movie nights

Two years ago, My girlfriend and I curated one of the biggest month long horror themed art show and film festival in NYC, it was called LIC Fear. It ran the month of October till Halloween, during the last weekend we had the film festival which consisted of shorts. I decided to open the festival with a lecture I wrote titled 'BitTorrent and the discovery of long lost horror films'. I choose ten lesser known horror films that were never released for DVD and lost in the discontinued VHS market, which were discovered by horror fans on BitTorrent. Ghostkeeper was one of the films I had reviewed. I remember finding Ghostkeeper in the now defunct website Tracker3 torrents which only dealt with rare horror and cult films never released on dvd, or rips from Laser-disk. Ghostkeeper impressed me with its atmosphere, the howling sounds you would hear in the soundtrack brought out the atmosphere. The direction was top notch, and the acting was amazing. I got a descent rip from VHS, and looked for this movie for years to see if there was a Blu-Ray release. What I like is what you don't see, leaving the audience to inter-pent whats going on. If I had to make a comparison with another Canadian horror film with would be with Curtains( 1983) which is similar in tone, but Ghostkeeper brings that supernatural thriller perfectly, I am glad you reviewed this film!

I had no idea a movie was filmed at the Deer Lodge! Time to watch the movie and then go visit the location since I don't live too far away from the lodge.

This movie reminds me of The Shining, with the setting and the isolation, when you realize there's no way out!

This is why I love your channel. You either find films I've never heard of or inform me of versions I never knew existed

I'm gonna have to check this out. I've got a soft spot for little Canadian horror movies like Pin, Black Christmas and My Bloody Valentine.

I bought this on a whim from a thrift store for a buck and really enjoyed the atmosphere. A bit of a hidden gem if you will.

Know what movie you need to watch? Ravenous. Just the soundtrack alone is amazing. It's right up your alley and one of the creepiest movies I've seen set in that era.

I saw this. Stumbled on it once and was entertained. Definitely above average for the small budget.

Looks like a perfect ghost story for Christmas Eve. I'm going to see if I can find it and pop it on tonight.

There’s something to be said about real snow in movies. Love all the snowy scenes

That intro gets me SO JACKED UP every time without fail

Merry Christmas.

Can you please make a video on Dog Soldiers? It's my favorite werewolf movie, it has one of best werewolf desing and body suit i have ever seen, all of the characters are likeable, relatable and well writen, it's shotted in scottland with moustly scottish actors and the movie is highly UNDERATED.

As a young horror fan in the 80s here in the UK I remember seeing the ridiculous chicken monster box art and completely ignored it. Had it kept the US cover of the skull and the lodge I'm sure it would have better prompted young me to see. I feel I've missed out now. While I'm here, I'd love to see you cover The Evil. This review reminded me a bit of that with its isolated mansion

Great indepth retrospective on this forgotten underrated Canadian film. The director hails from our province! We recently did a recommendation for this movie too. It's got great atmosphere and locations. The snow really helps the feeling of isolation. Too bad they ran out of money and couldn't shoot the rooftop ending :( Thanks for helping spread the word on this movie.

Hey dude! Thanks to this video, I might be organizing a big Canadian Tax Shelter movie event in Calgary in the near future. Includes this movie. It's unbelievable that I have a physical copy of Ghostkeeper.

Thank You GBF, You always bring me gems i missed. Happy holidays, and hyped for next year. TY TY TY TY

Man, I hate the KZfaq algorithm. This is one of my favorite channels been subscribed for a while now and somehow haven't seen a video in ages. Luckily this time I remembered to hit the bell so never again but I hate that I have to do that for channels I'm subscribed to to show up on my feed. Get better KZfaq.

I’ve stayed in that hotel! I live only a few hours drive away from there. I had no idea about this film, definitely gonna check it out now.

To me, limitations are the birthplace for creativity, and whenever I'm making or writing a film, I more often than not put harsh restrictions on myself.

A subscriber of mine sent me this on Blu Ray. Had it on my shelf for a while. Soon as I saw you covering it I immediately watched it so I could watch this video right after. Doing so now.

I just realized you intro and outro theme was done by Psychostick. That's pretty cool!

I was a little surprised when you said it was filmed in late 1980 because the quality of the scenes you showed is so high.

If you like snowbound hotel movies, check out "Cold Prey" and its sequels. Its Norway's first slasher movie! Its unique because Norway has a more of a reputation for banning horror films than producing them.

I have strong memories of watching this movie on Superchannel as a kid. I had long forgotten the title and always wondered what that movie was, until now.

That silver ski outfit was bae, hopefully they still make something similar because I want one.

Thanks for doing a video on this film. I vaguely remember seeing this film back on VHS rental and the chainsaw in the ice room was the one scene I could recall. What was tough was trying to remember the film's title (Gate Keeper? Ghost House?).

I love them clips you add at the end.

Just got done watching this gem because of your review........EXCELLENT little horror movie, even the misleading intro.........I also loved the score by Paul ZaZa.......nice atmospheric spooky music......thank you ever so much (as always) for the heads up on this jewel.......too bad no sequel was made, but, fine on it's own.

I live for your Exploring series!

Ghostkeeper reminds me of The Shining, mix with the original 1974 Black Christmas! This movie does look fun! I can get a kick out of this! Another outstanding exploring video! Merry Christmas & happy new year, GoodBadFlicks! :)

Great video!! Thanks and Merry Christmas!!🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶

This is one that I have reviewed myself as part of reviewing 3 movies called "The Tower". I will always remember it because during the chase scene up the stairs to the roof (7:15) it starts with a chainsaw, but the guy falls and you here the chainsaw stop working then the guy runs up the stairs with a knife. All I could think was "how more low budget can you get than having to change murder weapons mid scene because you couldn't afford a second chainsaw"

No camera at time or thought of doing so but oh, to go back in time when a friend's wife was winter caretaker for the Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier Park. The night tour was frightening even though I had worked as a Red Bus "jammer" before and was familiar with the place. No heat as well (she stayed in a separate cabin) but damn, whatta set.

Very cool looking movie. And knowing that the director got his start in my hometown of Windsor, is an extra bonus. I'll be sure to check this one out sometime.

Excellent review as always 📽️

Happy holidays!

Another classic GBF video!

I've heard of this film before, & already had it on my list of classic horror films to get, but after watching your review Cecil, I most definitely have to track down a copy of Ghostkeeper ASAP!! I agree with your statement on how if the monster is shown too much, it can lose it's creepiness or scariness. Sometimes less is better. Oh, I remember you telling me awhile back that you were working on Deadly Friend. Any chances that we could see a review of Deadly Friend, anytime next year?

Great video man. Merry christmas

Thanks for this one. I don't think I ever heard of it. But I sure will watch it.

This is great. Just discovered this movie and plan to watch it ASAP. I live right near here so it’s fun to see the local stuff in a horror movie haha

Swan River is only about a 3 hour drive from where I live!

Belly laugh at the death scare, you do good work here my friend, keep it up!

Thanks for the Christmas Gift!

I love this channel dude

Excellent video Cecil please review Don’t Open Till Christmas from 1984.

Another interesting flick!

Never heard of it! Now I want to see it!

This is the funny thing. Like Kathy Bates in Misery, the 'creepy' old people are the nicest people in real life!

Can u guys do a G/B flicks or Exploring video of Ghost Ship? It's a pretty good movie with some badass scenes in it.

Happy Christmas and have a great new year!!!

The environment is it's own character? That's pretty good. An unexpected film with little to no money that slowly turns into a cult classic.

Totally agree with Shaine, It looks like a B version of The Shining. Thanx for bringing it back!!! Happy Holydays!!!

I almost forgot about this film! It used to air on the USA network.

Christmas Episode! W00t!

I've seen this movie, it is really good. Two thumbs up.

CKLW was in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, across the river from Detroit...Just to be clear. People in Detroit could watch their shows though.

Please explore tv-/movies such as The Changeling, Session 9, Rose Red, The Bay etc etc. Keep up the awesome work =)

Sequel idea: maybe they are there as guests for a reunion but they watch as the events are happening again to others....

Makichuck is my new favorite word.

Chicken demon! That's a good one! 😂😂😂😂

Oh, this movie is Free with my Amazon Prime!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CECIL!!

Best Wndigo movie is Ravenous, great soundtrack too.

What a great idea for a horror movie. A group of people in the middle of a snowy winter in the middle of nowhere go to a hotel that is haunted by supernatural forces. #AllWorkAndNoPlayMakesJackaDullBoy

0:14 Windsor is in Canada, Detroit is in USA, although they are only one mile apart

The legendary, nightmarish, corpse-cannibal Wendigo is presented as a guy with a beard??? Yeah, sure, why not.

great christmas present, a forgotten unique movie.

Wow, i fkn love The Odessey. One of the best shows i remember watching as a kid.

merry Christmas eve man

The windgo looks nothing like how it looks in paintings in folk lore.

merry christmas from sweden

I wanna see this now. You should explore "Earthquake" or "Volcano".

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 🎉

I think you should explore Phantom of the Opera. The Robert England version.

Cool

Chippewa. Great boots

Yay!

Shame that McFadden quit the business after this. She was fantastic in it. Really enjoyed this movie and agree with everything you had to say about. 👍

I must see this now

Ninja Scroll!

the Tower is great too

I grew up in the great lakes area and we don't have any legends, undertow in the Summer and falling through ice in Winter is scary enough. Oh, and tourists. God damn, I hate tourists, a few of us get killed every year by them drunkenly stumbling around our forests in Cabela's gear and shooting anything that moves.

This is exactly how I feel about Equilibrium (2002).

1:57 That sounds a lot like _The Shining._

4:11 I didn’t know Charlie Kelly had a role in this film?

Can you do 1995's Blood & Donuts?

Does kinda look like a more scaled down version of The Overlook.

Kinda reminds me of Until Dawn, only with older people. Good stuff.

i at first could not remember even seeing this movie at all the name of it flickered a maybe memory of watching it, and when i saw the poster art for it i remember this film, i borrowed the VHS from a friend years ago because New World put it out and i'm a die hard Corman fan. anyways i remember nothing about it at all except them walking into the hotel and it was the Original opening i think. on what i thought of it? i thought it was one of the worst movies that i've ever seen in my life. i do not remember what i didn't like about it cause i'm 41 i saw it when i was i think in my 20's. the movie i think is just that forgettable for me anyways. but i'm glad you enjoy man and honestly your video was more enjoyable than the actual movie. if i recall the opening that i saw anyways, was them going in to warm up during the day and them using candles for light. other than that i don't remember anything else.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 🎁 EVERYONE

This may have been asked and answered but why not just turn the heat on at the Deer Lodge?

ha i live very close to this place where it was filmed. maybe an hour drive

Thank you KZfaq, for not putting this in my sub box or notifying me 😑

Did this inspire the shinning? Or the other way around?
