Review of Frozen

Frozen (I) (2010)
7/10
Fun, frozen terror.

"Remember that thing I said about having done this before? I totally lied. I'm scared sh*tless."

Frozen is a simple, effective horror/thriller about three people trapped on a ski lift with no one around to rescue them. Not at all a complicated premise, but it leads to a pretty good movie.

Director Adam Green has little problem keeping Frozen interesting for the entire hour and thirty-four minutes that it lasts, so don't worry about being bored. If you put yourself into the shoes of the characters and let yourself feel their helplessness and terror at their situation, this will be one of the scarier movies that you've seen in a while, simply because it's a scenario that could possibly happen. Nothing in the movie is far-fetched or overly artificial, and combining that with how brutal (I found myself wincing pretty often) it can be at times is a solid recipe for a tense, entertaining experience. 

I'd recommend Frozen to anyone. Be warned, though, it may make you want to avoid ski lifts and mountains for quite a while.
