I grew up outside of Buffalo, a legitimate oasis for snow during the winter months ,,,and sometimes even well into spring. 

I’ll never forget one Easter break when I was a pre-teen. On our first Saturday off, the temps hit the ’70s. Annette Funicello beach movies were playing on the local station – and I thought we were heading into a summery paradise. That night, though, we were struck with a blizzard and I was dodging one frozen tundra after another for the next 13 days. 

Fortunately, that scenario wasn’t nearly as terrifying as the one that hits the ski loving gang in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. Out in the icy wilderness, they run into the extremely violent Hillicker brothers and, as it always does in this series, physical trauma & death soon come for them. 

Unlike the other entries, the LGBTQIA community enters the scenario here via two of the main characters, a frisky lesbian couple – thus earning it a spot as one of my entries in Queer Horror: A Film Guide.

Recently, during the official podcast for the book, I joined editor Sean Abley in looking at the sapphic intricacies of this fun offering in this long running, low budget horror series.
