Realistic portrayal of the land and people, 5 December 2001
10/10
Author: echurch from Greensboro, NC

This movie was filmed near my hometown in the Western North Carolina mountains in a little community called Plumtree in Avery County. The severe winter weather depicted in the film is like it really is. The elevation here is about 3500 feet and the area gets enough snow to support a large snow skiing industry.
