Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I had never heard of Winter Lily, but caught it playing on Showcase in Canada. You can tell pretty quick that this is a Canadian film; it just has that quality to it.Winter Lily had great potential to be a really scary film - Lily's mother does a fantastic job at being creepy - but it just never gets to that threshold. It seems to build suspense and then release it before you get a chance to get scared, or jumpy, or nervous. I found myself anticipating shockers that never came.Don't rent it if you want to watch a scary movie. If you don't set high expectations, it has a few disturbing ideas and a decent story that will make it worth watching. I enjoyed it.

This movie is pretty good throughout, but it's the ending that's really cool; it's how a thriller should end. The setting and cast are also great assets to the film, especially Danny Gilmore, NICE! I did find a few lame parts to the film though, such as Clive's "connection" to Lily, I'm not exactly sure where that came from. As an interesting film I give it a 6 out of 10, but add a great ending and I give it a 7. I'm not sure why it's considered a horror film though. It does have an eerie feel to it, but if you're looking for gore, there's not much here. Not that that's a bad thing, I think the coldness and eeriness do it justice. A twisted thriller? Yes. Horror? Not really.

Was very disappointed with this movie. I appreciate that its small budget but it really had no plot and the story had so many holes you could drain your pasta through it.Nothing much else to say except don't bother...

When i saw Winter Lily at the 1999 Fantasy Film Fest in Hamburg i was not sure what to expect from this movie. But only a few minutes after it has started i was captured by the disturbing atmosphere. The snowy landscapes, the strange Bed&Breakfast hotel, located in the middle of nothing. The excellent cast helps this film to be one very very good thriller. and watch Kimberly Laferriere. This young actress looks great - can´t wait to see her in another movie. i give this films a 9 out of 10!
