Frozen (2010)

Frozen is a 2010 American psychological survival horror film written and directed by Adam Green. It stars Emma Bell, Shawn Ashmore and Kevin Zegers as three friends stranded in a chairlift after a day of skiing, forced to make life-or-death choices in order to avoid freezing to death, while also trying to avoid being killed by a hungry pack of wolves.

Horror might be a bit of a stretch here, but the addition of the wolves gives it just enough of a reason I suppose. Also, Stephen King writes a lot about everyday situations that turn completely dangerous, but I still think it’s a bit of a stretch here.

Also, I did spend a good amount of time yelling at the stupidity of the characters – the girl loses her glove taking a smoke, the boyfriend is an idiot, none of them think that maybe they should completely zip up their coats and pull their scarves around them more securely.

I want to deviate here and say that I get it, it’s a movie, and the plot would have progressed anyway, but I think that all these things also made it less of a horror movie to me. After awhile I just started laughing at their stupidity.

Anyway, it was entertaining, in a way. I kept trying to guess who was going to survive (if anyone, they didn’t have two brain cells between the three of them to rub together), and I honestly did not guess it in the end.
