GHOSTKEEPER (National Canadian Film Day)

For this year's CanFilmDay event, join us for a FREE screening of the homegrown 1981 Alberta supernatural slasher Canuxploitation classic GHOSTKEEPER! Cast & crew will be in attendance for this special reunion screening!

In the atmospheric GHOSTKEEPER, three friends on a New Year's Eve snowmobiling excursion in the Canadian Rockies find themselves stranded at an abandoned lodge, where the elderly female innkeeper is concealing a sinister secret. Unaware of the grave danger that they have put themselves in, they are left wondering who, or what, is the Ghostkeeper, and will anyone survive the night? Co-written and directed by James Makichuk in his directorial debut and featuring a cast of Albertan actors including Georgie Collins and Murray Ord, GHOSTKEEPER was filmed on location in Lake Louise and Banff, and is the only Albertan film created under the legendary Canadian tax shelter program in the 1980s.
