It's winter in the slums of dying industrial town Hamilton, Ontario,
and thus nest to nobody's out on the streets, only those who have to, like
beggars and drug pushers and the like ... those and a lone man on a banana
seated bicycle, riding the snowy streets rather at random. Given the
weather conditions, those out don't see the cycling guy's skimask as a
warning sign and try to have their dealings with him - but they should
have, as he's carrying a machete, and is eager to use it on his fellow
humans. But he has become so smug about this it's only a matter of time
until his luck will run out ... Basically a horror miniature
that might have little essentially new to offer but that works beautifully
because of its very basic approach, skeletal story and unpretentious
attitude. And the snowy streets of Hamilton sure add much to the movie's
overall flavour. And the resolution and especially the last shot of the
film are really fun!
