So, I thought the title was referring to a fella named "Venture Howl," who was going to be "in the mountains."
I loved that delightful title. So cheesy, so hilarious....And as it turns out, so wrong.
You may want a colon or something to make that distinction clear.
I think the main setback is the camera. It's fairly bumpy. It's also shaky, but not in a cool shaky-cam way. But, the main highlight is definitely the fact that you've taken those old legends and given them a new twist and new setting. Integrating those kinds of things adds a lot of great background to the film, and automatically gives it a depth that it wouldn't have had otherwise.
