Movie Review: SKI BUM VS. THE EVIL DEAD
Summary: 3 Stars
Before attaining superstar status in THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, Sean Astin starred in this straight to video thriller. Sean plays Matt, a "ski bum" who works at the Killington Ski Resort. His boss hates him; he's going to ask his girlfriend's father for his daughter's hand, and of course, the dad hates him, too. Meanwhile, a plane carrying radioactive plutonium crashes at the resort...this plane of course was hijacked by a member of a terrorist group, headed by the crazed Paul Grieger.Astin plays Matt convincingly, although nowhere as near as well as Sam in the Rings trilogy. Painstakingly awful and surprisingly so is Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead) who plays the terrorist leader. Evidently dying of cancer, the baldpated Campbell delivers his lines as if he had just memorized them.
Stacy Keach collects a paycheck as the girl's rich father. Suzanne Turner is pretty bad, too, as Matt's girlfriend. She always looks like she's trying to remember her lines. The actors who played Beck, the forest ranger and Clay, the resort manager are a hoot and enliven the film greatly.
The ski scenes are pretty effective, but will never make us forget ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
One big plot hole is why Campbell is doing this...he gives Astin a video to take to the press, but we never see it, so hence we're left with a philosophical psychobabble near the end by the worldweary Campbell.
Not a terrible film, but more of a rental than a purchase.
