10 Snowbound Horror Movies For Christmas

10. D-Tox

Originally slated for a November 1999 release, D-Tox was dropped from Universal’s production schedule and quietly sold to another distributor, who sneaked it out three years later on 78 screens. It got a proper promotional push in Europe, which probably qualifies as an act of international aggression.

Directed by the guy behind I Know What You Did Last Summer, D-Tox is basically Friday The 13th in a rehab clinic. And not just any clinic – this one’s an “isolated as hell” former military bunker in a snowy wilderness prone to storms that cut off the roads, communications etc. Thank goodness Sylvester Stallone is around to apprehend the killer, throw him down a flight of stairs and quip, “How’s that for a twelve-step program?”

Okay, he doesn’t do that, but if he did it might’ve hinted that D-Tox knows how silly it is. Instead, we get a po-faced movie about a killer whose plans for Stallone include killing his girlfriend, driving him to drink and stalking him once he enters rehab. Which, if you think about it, shows commitment above and beyond. Hats off.
