Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo

Frostbiter Wrath of the Wendigo, is an independent horrorcomedy movie, filmed sometime in 1988 but released in 1996 by Troma Entertainment. One of the stars, Ron Asheton, was the guitarist for The Stooges.

The film owes a large debt to Sam Raimis Evil Dead films with its mix of horror and comedy, in fact featuring a torn Evil Dead II poster in much the same way The Evil Dead features a torn The Hills Have Eyes poster. The film also gives special thanks to Bruce Campbell, the star of the Evil Dead films. This connection was reinforced in Japan, where the movie was released on video under the misleading title Shirynoharawata Sai Tsui Sh. Since the Japanese title of Evil Dead is Shirynoharawata, the distributors obviously tried to cash in on the success of Raimis trilogy. Also, the Japanese videocassette box puts the emphasis on a creature with a skulls head, reminiscent of the original Evil Dead II poster.At one part of the film, footage from Frank Capras Its a Wonderful Life, with some scenes in the film claiming to take place in Bedford Falls, much like the Christmas classic. ........
