I haven't seen the movie, but everyone I know who has says it's lousy.
I found out about the mmovie location from the following from (

"The house was actually a temporary structure built purely for filming. But in the Google Earth aerial photo it can still be seen on the banks of Maple Lake. Look closely and you’ll also see a camera boom, trailers, a blue pick-up truck (driven by Reeves’character), and fake snow around the building. Soon after filming was completed the lake house was destroyed."
