Extremely cheesy horror comedy about a kid celebrating his 17th birthday in Finland, where killer snowman attack. It tries very hard to evoke the Gremlins ethos (including a cameo from Joe Dante), which works fine when it's practical effects, but the overreliance on CGI spoils a good thing. Filled with lots of '80s movie and TV references, including a very overt Highlander subplot (featuring Christopher Lambert himself). This all adds up to something that should have been a lot more fun than it was, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it.
