Review of Frozen

Frozen (I) (2010)
7/10
This movie does not freeze before its finale!!!!
20 October 2010
Frozen is one of those rare low budget suspense films that makes adequate use of its resources without relying on a cult following (films such as Paranormal Activity). That is to say Frozen is an adequate enough movie on its own that it does not need the support/promotions that Paranormal Activity received. Frozen's plot is simply stated as follows: Three college-aged kids bribe a ski-lift operator to allow them to go on one last run before the lift is shut down for bad weather. On their way to the top of the slope the lift is stopped and shut-down and will not be up and running for an entire week leaving the three stranded and alone. They must battle the elements and figure an escape route if they want to survive. As death stares them in the eyes they must battle their cracking wills and their freezing limbs.

The greatest feature of this film is that the story and acting are able to drive the movie to its finale without running out of gas as many similar movies tend to burn-out before the ending. Frozen, however, is relentless in its story and its heart is as cold as the elements the three friends are trying to survive. While the film is not blockbuster smash-hit, this is a contribution to the film industry that any horror, suspense, thriller, or action buff would most likely enjoy.
