Donner Pass Trailers

Donner Pass has a well-known and macabre history - the place where George Donner and his party got stuck in the winter of 1846 and were forced to resort to cannibalism to keep from starving. But what if it wasn't just history?

Reviews
Micransix Crappy film
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
mayakraus I found this movie very out of context and location. After growing up at Donner lake California and seeing this movie I am very distraught. The first thing I notice is the scenery. None of the movie was filmed at Donner or even within about 50 miles of Donner. The next thing is the cannibalism. I've been through the education system in my small town of Truckee and at several points learned specifically about the Donner party. After the teachings and exploring of the actual sites I can confidently say that this movie doesn't describe the Donner party as the generally peaceful people they were. In fact one of my teachers in grade school was directly related to the leader of the party and has shown me and my classmates mementos of the Donner party and how they showed possible cannibalistic traits but nothing extremely violent.
Claudio Carvalho In1846, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the area known as Donner Pass, a starving man kills three others to eat their flesh during the winter, but a boy witnesses the murders and flees.In the present days, the teenagers Kayley (Desiree Hall), her boyfriend Mike (Colley Bailey), her cousin Nicole (Adelaide Kane) and the outcast Thomas (Erik Stocklin) travel to the house in Donner Pass of Thomas's parents that are in Europe. Thomas recommends his friends to be careful with the house since his parents do not know that they are spending the weekend there. They learn that the police are hunting down the criminal James Michael Epstein (John Kassir). Out of the blue, the troublemaker boyfriend of Nicole, Derek (Dominic DeVore), comes with his friends Brody (Antonio Trischitta), Valerie (Krystal Davis) and A.J. (Brandon Morales) in his SUV to stay with Nicole, despite the protests of Thomas. Soon their beer runs out and Brody drives the SUV to buy some more in the town. Brody goes missing and soon Mike, Kayley and Thomes find his body eaten. Meanwhile Valerie is murdered near the house and the car has flat tires. Who might be the cannibal that is attacking the group? "Donner Pass" is a terrible slasher with an awful gore story of cannibalism and one-dimensional characters. The explanation for the anthropophagy is ridiculous and most of the characters are non- charismatic. In the end, watching "Donner Pass" is a complete waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): Not Available
atinder I just this few nights ago, I most forgot the name of the movie than.Tell you the truth. I can't remember much from the movie, nothing in this movie stood out at all.The opening scenes was good and decent semi-long back story at the start about DONNA PASS.A number of teens going to cabin in the woods during winter and soon then later people start to killed of one by one.The deaths were mostly of screen but when they are on screen , they so far away.I found some scenes to really silly and stupid in this movie and the whole plot was predicable.There is some kind of twist in the movie, you know who killer is from the very start of the movie. There a little small turn in story about girl turning into what ever she was meant to be. Well a least acting was Decent from some of the cast!2 out of 10
moodyhathoot A lot of good movies didn't have a chance,Donner Pass (2012)was one of them.The reason that it didn't have a chance is that The cast is not famous! But the storyline and the idea was great!I recommend you to watch this movie.The acting is great,it's good for you if you like teens horror movies or snow horror movies.But it's the best low budget horror movie I've ever seen in my life!You might think it's bad because it's an unrated horror movie but being unrated movie is not a way to make a bad movie :D My rating:7/10
