IMDb plot summary: Three skiers stranded on a chairlift are forced to make life-or-death choices, which prove more perilous than staying put and freezing to death.
Directed by Adam Green. Stars Shawn Ashmore, Emma Bell, and Kevin Zegers.
Frozen -- the very much *not* Disney one -- follows three friends stranded on a ski lift after a resort closes for the weekend, leaving them to face the cold, hunger, and worse. Watching this right after Extreme Days was a funny contrast, since both involve kind of douche-y guys and a lone woman on a ski trip, but I liked this one a lot more. I was surprised by how gross and dismal it gets, though in hindsight I probably shouldn’t have been. It’s a tense, tightly contained survival horror that really commits to its premise. If I ever needed a reason not to go skiing, this is it. Dark, bleak, and not exactly a fun watch, but a solid film that does what it sets out to do.
