I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreI'm pretty picky with movies and I found this very watchable. I recommend it. The suspense is good- a 'ski-lift' hanger, if you will.
... View MoreIn the trivia in amazon it is claimed the director got the idea after a suicide on a chair lift which was supposedly validated by some woman who happened to be at the film festival the guy was at and HAPPENED to know the victim. Sick and tired of directors taking liberties in claiming their movie is remotely based on a true story because I can find nothing on the net or in papers about ANY suicide on a chairlift (besides jumping off and thats not what this seems to indicate since it mentions a "hole in the chair" kind of indicating he shot himself or some such. And this is a BRUTAL movie..and I like horror movies.The death of both guys and the fact the girl is the one who manages to safely make it down is ridiculous. The wolves would have chased her just on principle as soon as her back was turned and would have been able to outrun her little slide. Altogether idiotic gore fest.The trivia also says the actress was directors (or someones) wife for a time and is an old hand at movies..yeah b movies it seems. Too bad because she's beautiful, can't say she's talented per se but beautiful yeah.
... View MoreI will say that movies are meant to entertain and in this respect we can't always expect the most realistic of situations to play out. However, this film is just plain stupid!.Let's say for one moment 3 snowboarders/Skiers get stuck on a chair lift and it's really high up. Could the Director have not treated the audience with a semblance of intelligence? I mean one guy decides just to jump down to be the hero without using any tools at his disposal. Doesn't try and tie a jacket or 2 to lower himself down. No of course not just jumps down and breaks both legs lol. If he had done this and then is unlucky and breaks his leg on a rock then it would have added a lot more credibility.Before we even get to this stage, the movie was made in 2010 yet not one of them had a mobile phone to make a call. That's the most unbelievable part of this whole movie. I mean they could have got round this with the phones not having signal due to the bad weather. Still unreal but at least would have been better.Big CAT drives below them and they throw down a few bits of clothing and a pole instead of a snowboard to catch the drivers attention. I mean really?Wolves manage to eat the two male characters. Yet when the female faces the wolves they just walk away because they had just had dinner. LOL Ridiculous. These wolves must only come and eat people when the ski resort closes then. Film could have done without the wolves all together. May aswel had gone for a deadly snowman. Film was so stupid May aswell had gone whole hog, at least then people would have expected stupidity.The resort closes for 5 days in peak season just when the protagonists get stuck. Suuuuuuuure!We have no one zipping up their jackets. We have people falling asleep with bare hands touching metal. Why not just go one better and stick your tongue to the metal bar.I reckon they could have made a really good movie here if they had thought about it a little more. I'm sure the audience would have appreciated it.Instead we get absolute nonsense which is so stupid it insults everyones intelligence. AVOID
... View MoreDon't bother watching this. I wouldn't class this as a horror. Snoozefest maybe. There are so many idiotic decisions made that are just so unrealistic. And the things that happen (besides the girl sobbing like 90% of the movie) are not believable. Have a read of the other comments with spoilers to see lists of all the unrealistic and unbelievable things. And then some are just outright harmful LIES - like the wolves. Wolves DO NOT act in the way they are portrayed. Who paid for this movie? The sub-humans at the wolf hunting and killing associations? Lies to mislead viewers into thinking wolves are like they are portrayed in the movie to keep up the big bad wolf narrative so people will continue to be afraid of them and continue to be fine about a beautiful intelligent endangered species continuing to be slaughtered to extinction. The people that made this movie should be ashamed, not just because its a slow and stupid movie but because of the immorality. Whoever owns these wolves should also be ashamed for letting them be shown thus way and exploited. There's also needless gore and there is suspense at times, and missed opportunities to make the movie better.
