I'm not a fan of the disaster genre, they're always the same.
This is no different and what's strange is just how little of the film the disaster takes up.
Starring Robert Forster, Rock Hudson and Mia Farrow this is more like a soap opera where an avalanche just so happens to take place.
Swinging 70's, polystyrene snow and merciless deaths this has it's merits but certainly pales in comparison to the better films within this sub genre.
The Good:
Cast do a decent job
The Bad:
Predictible
Soap opera like
SFX are poor even for its time
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Unless your name ends in Campbell don't be a Bruce, you are no worthy
Death by polstyrene looks as painful as it sounds
- Introduction of characters
- Expert warns people of imminent disaster
- Powers that be ignore expert
- Disaster happens
- Then either a lot of running and talking about what is happening until it ends or some pseudo science to fix it
