I always assumed kids in Communist countries were better than the ones here, although a couple of Soviet movies made them look worse.
Wolf's Hole was about 9 or 10 exceptionally bratty Czechoslovakian teens who go on a ski trip. They're in a cabin in the mountains where they'll be for several days. They notice strange behavior in the adults running the thing.
If you're ever on a trip like this, even if meals are provided, bring your own food.
I clicked on this movie knowing nothing about it. Turned out to be science fiction. Set on a snow-covered mountain, it was like a toned-down version of The Thing.
American critics and academics interpret movies from any Communist country as being secretly anti-Communist. This film was no exception even though principles of Marxism-Leninism end up saving them.
Has a pretty good twist on that "Chekhov's gun" thing.
Available on the Criterion Channel.
