Surprisingly Suspenseful

Just caught this movie on MTV tonight and since it appears to be pretty new and a TV movie I wasn't sure what to expect. As the summary says, 4 college/university aged adults are at a ski resort for spring break and are heading home. They loose control of the vehicle and end up buried in an avalanche. Since they have nothing better to do while awaiting what they believe is their death they decide to reveal their secrets to each other.

Considering there isn't a whole lot of space to do things in such a confined space the movie falls heavily on the characters emotions and the actors portrayals of them. I felt all of the acting was fantastic and they really make you angry, sad and feeling for the characters, and make you hope they escape. I found I was eager to know their fate and I couldn't turn away.

Definitely worth a late night watch, and excellent psychological thriller that reminded me of Frozen which was also suspenseful and intense.
