Trivia:

The true event that the movie is based on happened in Georgia, where this film is made and filmmakers are from. 4 friends were in the sauna, one left for the toilet, locking his friends in - exactly as it is shown in the movie. He never came back, and when he woke up he didn't remember that he left them in the sauna, and started to search for them elsewhere. Fortunately no one died since they managed to turn the heater off, but they had to spend over 10 hours in the decreasing heat, until they were found.

Quotes:

Ian:I don't know. There's something about her. Something about her I like.
Michael:I think the thing you like about her is that she was half-naked.

Excellent movie should have had better ending

This movie was quite excellent at times the guy Michael was pretty stupid and ends up regretting it at the end of the movie. I suggest you watch this movie it is a thriller, sometimes ratings are wrong but this movie is underrated i saw it on DVD very good they should have had it in theater and it is a true story wow shocking unbelievable movie !!!!!!! At times it gets unrealistic but it being true at that temperature that is unbelievable , though this is a good movie the problem is many people have not heard about it this is simply terrific, i suggest you see it any way you can because this is worthwhile watching!!!!!
