This movie, "Totem" (1999), presents a fairly basic cabin-in-the-woods horror scenario. A group of young people unexpectedly appear at a secluded cabin situated near a cemetery, and they quickly realize that something is keeping them from leaving. They also stumble upon an old stone totem pole located in the graveyard, which raises questions about what’s happening. The film draws inspiration from several other movies—"Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things," “Evil Dead,” "Amelia" (with its Zuni doll), and “Subspecies”—but ultimately feels like a lesser version of those films. The total running time is just 68.5 minutes, but that’s significantly padded by an extended opening credits sequence lasting four minutes and forty seconds, six and a half minutes for the end credits, and two minutes taken from "The Vikings" (1958). This leaves only approximately 55.5 minutes dedicated to the core narrative. Despite this, the story itself is reasonably well-crafted, and the acting performances are commendable, particularly considering the cast consisted of relatively unknown actors. Marissa Tait delivers a noteworthy performance as Alma, the main character, while Tyler Anderson also impresses as Robert, a Choctaw man who didn't grow up on tribal lands. The director, having learned from Roger Corman, began his own career in 1984 and has since made around 180 low-budget films. The production budget was clearly quite limited—likely under $100,000, perhaps closer to $50,000—but "Totem" might be enjoyable for those who appreciate this particular subgenre of horror, especially if they’re accustomed to very inexpensive productions. However, it doesn't measure up to the other films referenced. Filming took place in Santa Clarita at Sable Ranch, located northeast of Hollywood in a more mountainous area. I give it a C-.
