lisaw80631 I liked the story, and I liked the ending, but the lead female character completely ruined the movie for me because she is just such a total B*%#!! I swear, I wanted to strangle her throughout the whole movie. From the moment the couple arrives at the campsite to set up, she does nothing but nag and criticize him the WHOLE TIME, and for no reason. She's one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever seen in a movie. When her boyfriend is setting up the tent, she stands there watching him, being no help to him at all, and begins criticizing his tent assembly skills, this after she just admitted that she's never even set up a tent herself. And she has the nerve to criticize him when he hasn't even done anything wrong yet? Then, she tells him that she needs to go to the bathroom, and just stands there staring at him like she expects him to cup his hands for her to pee into or something. He hands her a roll of toilet paper, and she has the nerve to scoff at him when she takes it. What the heck is her problem? These are just the first examples of the horrible and negative attitude she displays throughout the entire movie. And then I really wanted to puke even more when he proposes to her later in the movie! WHAT?!? What sane and rational man would be stupid enough to want to marry someone like her? If the girlfriend was much nicer, I would've liked this movie so much more. I do like it, but I can't even watch it again because the horrible girlfriend makes me want to scream. In order for a movie to really work, the characters have to be at least a little bit likable, so the audience can sympathize. If not for her, I would give this 7 stars. But I have to deduct a star because I simply despise the girlfriend.
sddavis63 I have to admit that I had very low expectations of this movie. From the plot summary I had read it seemed as if it would be little more than a routine thriller, with perhaps some blood and gore added in. Actually, it turned out to be a pretty nifty little psychological thriller, with little blood and no gore, likable leads in Brit Morgan and Seth David Mitchell, and what I thought was an effective twist at the end that was sufficiently ambiguous that it left me not entirely certain what the character's ultimate fates were.Mike and Emma have gone off camping in the winter wilderness, but they manage to wreck their snowmobile and things start to look pretty desperate pretty quickly. As things begin to look progressively bleaker, Emma starts to see a man following them. Is he real, or is she imagining it? You wonder for a while, but once it's cleared up you start to wonder what this guy is about. When Mike disappears, it becomes pretty obvious that this is a bad guy. Or is he?The final "twist" was pretty effective, and the ending of the story - to me - very effectively left a lot up in the air, leaving it to each individual viewer to decide whether Emma made a wise choice or not. Without giving too much away, let me just say that I found the end of this movie to be foreboding rather than hopeful, but either interpretation works.This is a short and effective little thriller; much better than I had been expecting. (8/10)
arockthief Right off I knew that there was conflict between the woman and her man. She was distant and the man was trying to energize the situation somehow. The reason for the conflict is revealed a few minutes into the movie and ties in later especially at the end. The scenery was not spectacular although I live near the mountains so I might be spoiled. However, the setting was just right for this kind of movie It did not need to be spectacular; it needed to fit the plot and. I believe it did. The female lead is not a likable person and this works well with the plot as things change. There is a French or Swiss movie I saw several years ago and I believe writer of The Frozen has seen this movie. They are similar but sufficiently different. I liked them both which proved to me that variations on a theme can be successful. Don't expect to be horrified or bloody freaked out. It won't happen. Go with the flow and you might find yourself satisfied at the conclusion. The acting worked for me. Obviously, others do not agree with my assessment but hey, that's life.I am partially deaf so I watch movies with the captioning. Therefore, my experience is likely different from those who can hear well. I miss the vocal nuances and pick up on other physical queues.
Szymon S³upnik A couple drive to the snowy woods to spend their holiday adventure together. After driving a while they take a snowmobile and go further into the mountains. Suddenly they see someone between the trees and after taking their eyes off the road they crash. Now, I can understand why the ratings are so low for The Frozen. It doesn't contain much action, no special effects really, dialogues are honestly poor and choices of protagonists seem irrational. However, if you love films like The Edge with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins, you will probably like this one as well. I love films taking place in the nature. They are simple. There are no intrigues, gang violence, corporate competition and cops chasing bad guys. It's all about surviving and this is what The Frozen is about. The couple has to survive in harsh conditions and they can only count on themselves. From the start to the end of the film I could feel the tension. There is hardly any music, so most of the sounds you hear come from the nature, which makes you feel on edge. The acting is fine. You can probably remember Brit Morgan from True Blood series. She plays a hardly likable character, but it's fun to watch her.All in all, it's probably not a masterpiece of cinematography, but if you like films taking place in the nature, you will enjoy it. I give it 7 out of 10 for the unexpected ending which changes everything.
