Actually quite like this. Good to have a multi-person horror where it's not obvious what the best option for survival is. People are dicks to each another to an understandable degree given the stress, the characters aren't stubborn idiots. Except maybe before the movie gets going, but even then not unrealistically so.
Not a scary movie, but a decent portrayal of some terrifying situations.
2010's Frozen predates Disney's classic and is a tense little survival picture about three college kids getting trapped on a chair lift overnight and beyond. It's by Hatchet's Adam Green so there are some moments of horror (but not supernatural horror) because Mother Nature is pretty unforgiving of people who don't pay full price to go up her mountain. I can't tell, was Shawn Ashmore cast in this because he played Iceman in the X-Men movies? Whatever the case may be, Frozen presents what could happen if you were in danger of freezing to death and couldn't climb down from your perch. What would you do, and how could you survive the ordeal? Then it throws a few extra dangers (the ski lodge really ought to be sued) for good measure, so I wouldn't call it a procedural. One of those dangers is that the kids aren't particularly smart about it, and some audience members may be thinking of better solutions throughout. But if you are, then I think the film has worked. It means you're invested, you're trying to mentally shift the characters out of danger, the mistakes seem human. A minimal set/location that does the job, with some enjoyable, if slight, ironies. Better than you'd think.
lol @ the people with no taste on this comment section. the use of dialogue, the sound direction. don't tell me you didn't emote at all during the scene about the little dog. the legs scene was fucking brilliant, ok?
Good acting of the girl, it's simple and good, I gave nothing on the beggining but it turned out to be one of the most panicking movies I've watched. Dreamed of wolves eating me the whole night

Not as much singing as I was lead to believe there would be, but still fun. :)TheCinenaut
I liked the concept, but in my opinion it was poorly executed and a little far-fetched at times.thaisquisito
The legs scene, come oooon, that was badSineJosepha
One of the best horror movies in years. The concept of the movie might be simple but it really goes under your skin...Tidorith

So bad, it's good. As simple as that.bar10
Started out ok, but I really missed some obvious sollutions they could have tried. No spoilers ;-)rainy

Something to watch if you're bored. Not bad, but not good either. However, one of the better movies streaming instantly on Netflix.sunflowersinparis
This made me think twice about going on ski lifts.mook
A reasonable effective low-budget "Situation Horror" as three annoying teenagers get stuck on a deserted ski lift... 6/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen
