Snowed in with beautiful sickos, The Bad, the Worse, and the Ugly.

I saw this as "Ice Cage."

So three beautiful women, one beautiful man, and one old fat guy wake up naked in the snow. They spend the rest of the movie in their underwear in an empty cabin.

They find a body of a woman upstairs, and a note that says one of them murdered her and they're all dead by 5:00 PM if they don't figure out who killed her and kill that person.

The plot is actually similar to a bunch of Outer Limits episodes where there's some unseen puppet master and people start turning on one another and/or picking a sacrifice. Outer Limits with nudity and bondage.

In a series of flashbacks they all attended an extremely sadistic Eyes Wide Shut major bondage/sadism party the night before, and each of them has some connection to the woman upstairs. Given the backstory, it's all pretty unsettling, which could be the point. Except for the old fat guy, there's plenty of eye candy. Maybe the running around in underwear is supposed to convey some kind of vulnerability, as it also makes escape back into the snow rather problematic.

The high stakes Clue in underwear premise comes across in and of itself as pretty sadistic. The whole thing seems to be a study in the amorality of all involved and so the question is who is getting paid back by whom and for what.

EDIT: I did give it 6/10. It's not a great movie, but it's a good movie.
