Interesting facts

Shredder is a 2003 American slasher film directed by Greg Huson and starring Scott Weinger and Lindsey McKeon. It centers on a group of friends being stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant at an abandoned ski resort. It was filmed at the Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, and released direct-to-video in the United States by MGM Home Entertainment.

Production

Director and co-screenwriter Gregory Huson developed the idea for a slasher film set at a ski resort after a blizzard left him 'snowed in' overnight at Iron Mountain resort, near Kirkwood in the Sierra Nevada in 1995, shortly before Iron Mountain's permanent closure. "The motel was seedier and moldier than almost anything you've seen in any horror movie," Huson recalled.

Shredder was filmed on location in March 2001 at the Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho over a period of seventeen days, with a budget of $750,000. After scouting multiple smaller ski areas throughout the northwest, the producers ultimately chose Silver Mountain Ski as the location still housed the original lodge, formerly 'Jackass ridge,' which was effectively abandoned.

In spite of record snows earlier in the season, during filming the production was troubled by rising temperatures and rain, which caused a significant amount of snow to melt mid-way through the filming schedule. Taking advantage of local talent, the producers hired a total of twenty ski and snowboard doubles.
