Synopsis
Ghostkeeper (1981) follows three friends on a snowmobiling trip in the Canadian Rockies who seek shelter from a blizzard inside an isolated hotel.

This Canadian horror film blends winter isolation, backwoods menace, and supernatural suggestion in an examination of survival, fear, and the unknown lurking within confined spaces.
