I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Two guys and a girl on an abandoned ski-lift. Guys get off ski-lift trying to rescue girl. Guys get eaten by wolves. Girl gets off ski-lift accidentally, and wolves ignore her. Girl heroically climbs (slides) down mountain and is saved. Rubbish.I fell asleep.

Frozen is a bottle film, meaning it takes place in a limited area, which can make for great film-making but is often used as a crutch for lack of talent. Some people think that the sheer concept of a movie is enough for it to be good, and it's simply not. Bottle films like this rely so much on the writing and acting, and both are laughable. It's like a really bad high school play. The lead characters are idiots, none of the dialogue is memorable or even functional and it's just not scary at all. I'm almost positive there are fake reviews here lauding the film.

What maketh a good horror movie? Find characters with whom your audience can identify (and hopefully root for) and put them in a situation that's plausible yet unique. We've all seen haunted-house movies, or possession movies. And now we have a chilling (HAHA) tale of three friends stranded atop a ski lift with no help in sight.Parker (Emma Bell), Joe (Shawn Ashmore), and Dan (Kevin Zegers) are pals. Dan and Parker are a couple; Joe and Dan are best friends. Joe and Dan do this ski trip every year, and now Dan's girlfriend Parker is along. Tension much? The trio doesn't have money for lift tickets, so their plan – a usual plan for Dan and Joe – is to bribe the person running the lift. $50, $100, it's still cheaper than lift tickets. In the past, this person has been a girl, and Dan and Joe have used their charms with much success. This time, it's a guy, so it's poor Parker who has to use her wiles (and Dan's money) to get them up the mountain. The plan works, and the trio spend the day zipping up and down the mountain on snowboards. Near the end of the day, they decide to make one more run (especially since they've been on bunny slopes, thanks to Parker's inexperience). They manage to get on the lift for the last trip up, but – thanks to a staff miscommunication – the lift is shut down while they're still on their way up. They're stuck in a small chair, many feet above the ground, and it's freezing out.So there's your plausible situation. You can see this happening. The reason they're stuck up there isn't inconceivable. Their zest for another run isn't, either. And how many horror movies are set on a ski slope? Not too many.Survival becomes key. For my money, though, it takes them far too long to realize that help's not on the way. With the temperature plummeting, every minute counts. And once they delay that decision, they become too cold to think clearly. This leads to a series of choices with tragic consequences.I would have liked this movie a bit more if the characters hadn't been, well, jerks. Look, I get that they can't afford the pricey lift tickets, but I'd be more sympathetic if they were trying to get something they really needed, like food. It's skiing (or snowboarding). If they can't afford the activity, they probably shouldn't be doing it. Dan, in particular, comes off as pretentious and condescending and – worse of all – boring. Don't know if I can blame the actor for this entirely, but the performance wasn't one to write home about.The film looks good, with some terrific shots of the mountain, the silent and deserted lift, and the terrifying wolves who linger below. There's plenty of tension. I'm just not sure that the cast was up to the task.Frozen – with no musical interludes – is a mild disappointment.

PROS: To start off, the plot was extravagantly thought out. Although it was simple and plain there was a lot that they covered. They covered who, where, what, when, why, and how, and this made the film run very seamlessly. To add on, the build up in tension was very well realized and it was able to keep steady throughout the duration of the film. This was able to distract from the rather basic idea of the film as a whole, but even though it was basic, it wasn't boring. They acting was spotty in many places, but my favorite actor, Shawn Ashmore, who played JOE carried the film for me. Another thing that was helpful was the marketing. I don't normally pipe in on the advertising/movie cover, but this movie did an excellent job at delivering the message of the movie in a single picture, which was helpful.CONS: To continue with the acting, the big problem that I had with this movie was the inconsistency. The characters should feel real even when they aren't in a "horrifying" scene. Relationships between the characters start when they laugh and talk normally, not when the scary stuff happens. The last issue I had was the ending. I watch horror movies to see the intensity of what a person will do in a time of struggle, and in this movie they didn't deliver that message to the end. Although the ending was nice, it just wasn't for me. Overall this movie is a must see!www.chorror.com
