Donner Pass is a great little horror film with a nice amount of reverence for the genre. While not as gonzo as his films can be, I would liken it to a Rob Zombie film where you can sense the excitement and love for the genre in tiny details. The film has a little bit of everything, and although I wouldn't usually consider that a good thing, here it's done so well that it comes together nicely. It starts with a historical perspective of the setting's notorious past. It then jumps to present day and slowly, smartly builds tension subtly revealing more and more things that just aren't right. It then busts wide open delivering a lot of gruesome gore and also delivers a nod to the rape/revenge sub-genre. The end, I don't want to give away but it delivers a smart, unique explanation of what has transpired. Highly recommended.

I watched this movie when it was on Constellation.tv. It may have been a little slow building up the character profiles but once the killing started it was edge of your seat experience. I enjoyed the perspective from some of the camera angles & lighting and I really liked the fact that it was not too gory as some films now seem to rely on blood spewing everywhere to carry the film. The special effects on what gore was in the movie was well done. There were some unexpected scenes that made me jump cause I didn't see it coming and that is why I watch horror movies. I will purchase this video for my collection of "you're gonna regret going in there" movies.

This movie feels like an 80s horror movie, albeit better. It took some time to develop the characters and try to make them feel real before the killings take place. I felt sorry for a few of those characters when they died.
Sure the movie is gory at times, but it did not over did it. The killings were quick as well. It got over with quickly and moved on top the rest of the plot.
The only thing bad was that the twist at the end, like in all of these movies, was telegraphed at the beginning of the affair.

Pass on Donner Pass
I'm a huge fan of horror movies but not too thrilled on this one. It was predictable early on. Save your $ for something else.

For once a movie prop crew actually costumed the actors appropriate to the period. I actually thought, briefly, the movie might have potential. Read more
