There's many levels of cult film, some of which I am still discovering.
Winterbeast is some amateur as fuck, completely non-narrative Z grade bamboozle fest fucking weirdo movie that is basically not a movie at all, but rather a collection of things which are honestly not related, but pretend as if they are.
Directed by Christopher Theis, this slab of nonsense is some sorta who knows what of nondescript nothingness paired with insane wtf which will have you instantly wondering "is this a movie"? The short and real answer is no. I would challenge anyone who says it is.
Play the first few minutes for someone and introduce them to weirdness. The problem is that you would not want that first 2 minutes to continue for about 75 minutes. It would get boring, nonsensical and repetitive. Of course, they don't exactly repeat it. There's claymation in this movie, original music, bizarre actor moments, and even some local small town almost sightseeing nonsense?
Basically this looks like someone was shooting their vacation footage and decided to add a horror plot. I have rarely seen a movie where it was more obvious that within the same sequence or scene they cut away from the actor to a different actor, completely somewhere else, responding as if they were in the same scene.
They had some ingenuity, an uncle into claymation for example. I have no idea what this is, but I will say I kinda liked it. I give it 3 stars.
