Frostbiter: Wrath Of The Wendigo borrows a lot from Evil Dead. An ancient evil is unearthed on a remote island and terrorizes a group of stranded hunters stuck in a cabin. In one scene there is even an Evil Dead 2 poster in the background. That being said, I really enjoyed the movie. It's full of action, gore and humor to keep your interest. There's a lot of cool creatures running around wreaking havoc. You get a possessed pot of chili that eats a guy's hand, a topless babe who turns into a witch, zombie hunters, a flying monster that bites a dudes head off and a stop motion wendigo. I liked the effects even though they were cheesy and far from great.
There is so much going on it's hard to become bored. Don't forget about the aforementioned pair of boobs that are bared for your viewing pleasure. The soundtrack is full of crazy music by Ron Asheton (who also stars in it), Elvis Hitler and The New Breed Beboo Society. During one scene when the chili monsters are attacking the hunters a ridiculous song about chili plays in the background. I loved it and it's things like this that make the film unique. All in all Frostbiter stands on it's own and comes across as an homage to Evil Dead instead of a rip off.
