Summary
RATING: R for some disturbing images and language
Starring Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore, and Emma Bell
A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that they've been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down. With the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. Once they make their move, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. As they combat unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die? (Anchor Bay Films)

New York Observer Rex Reed
The best kind of horror film, about innocent people plunged into mind-boggling circumstances beyond their control.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
A minimalist setup delivers maximum fright in Frozen, a nifty little chiller that balances its cold terrain with an unexpectedly warm heart.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter James Greenberg
Frozen delivers enough thrills and gory chills to satisfy the horror film crowd, but is not written, directed or acted well enough to be a first-rate thriller.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The film moves along, in its paradoxically static way, at a pretty fair clip. I look forward to Green's follow-up.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
While the actors are game, their characters are awfully generic.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
An effective, no-frills gruel-a-thon if that’s your cup of Swiss Miss, and it explores such burning questions as: What happens if you’re dumb enough to leave your bare hand on a metal safety bar overnight?
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Stephen Cole
Frozen would get props for a novel plot, except that its storyline appears to be ski-lifted from the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode where Larry is stuck on a chairlift with an Orthodox Jewish woman who is terrified of being seen with a man after sunset.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Cliff Doerksen
A stuck chairlift just doesn't exert the same primal terror as a roiling sea, and to make up the difference, Green would need a better cast and sharper dialogue than he has here.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Michael Ordona
It's difficult to get into its "What would I do?" vibe, though, through so thick and transparent a barrier of contrivances.
Read Full Review >Variety Peter Debruge
Don't be surprised if the movie's most wince-inducing moments come not from the "disturbing images" (as the MPAA describes the sight of a leg bone sticking six inches out of one character's ski pants) but rather of the bad acting and worse dialogue.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Aaron Hillis
Green also can't maintain the suspension of disbelief necessary as we watch three charmlessly written characters bicker and attempt inane ideas. It's one thing to be scared with them, and quite another to feel trapped with them.
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Joshua Rothkopf
Better to defrost "Alive" or "The Edge" from the video icebox.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Relies far too much on an overdose of gore and a pack of hungry wolves to deliver its chills.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Adam Green's Frozen explores a tiny idea exhaustively, and I mean exhaustively.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand
If you actually sit through this enervating ordeal, you'll swear that time is Frozen.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Frozen is good for five minutes of "What would you do if?" games. Then it's just stiff as a board.
