In a small town in California, a young man called Keith (Vic Harris) commits suicide on the street in from of his former girlfriend Shelley (Cameron Goodman). She becomes outcast in the town and stays recluse at the house of her boyfriend Ryan (Jamie Martz) or giving support to her estranged crippled alcoholic mother Gayle (Mimi Rogers). Ryan lives with his drug addicted friend Wade (Zack Bennett) and is chased by his former girlfriend Jeanette (Leslie-Ann Huff), with whom he has a baby girl. During the end of December, Wade's friend Nathon (Sam Littlefield) invites Ryan and Shelley to a party at his house in a nearby town. Despite the blizzard, the couple drives to the party and uses crystal meth. Later they decide to return home through the bad weather. Along their journey'back home, Shelley, who has never used drugs before, has dreadful visions and Ryan has an accident with his truck when she takes the steering wheel from his hand. Lost in the blizzard, they contact the sheriff's office, but neither Sheriff Bruce (Chris Meyer) nor the tow-truck driver Larry (David Starzyk) are capable to find Ryan and Shelly that are experiencing a bad trip."Frozen Kiss" is a film with potential but wasted due to the poor development of the unlikable characters. The film begins and the viewer does not know who Keith is and why he kills himself. The flat Shelley seems to be a fatal or promiscuous woman since Keith, Bruce and Ryan are crazy about her. Gayle is a real bitch. The good point is the landscape with blizzard and snow, especially for viewers that live in tropical countries. The art of the DVD cover is also attractive but misguides the viewer regarding the genre with the comment "terror is as cold as ice" and stating that is based on a true event. In the end, "Frozen Kiss" is not the awfullest film ever made but could be better and better. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): Not Available.

I hate movies which blurbs that have nothing whatever in common with the movie they purport to describe. Equally annoying are movies so changed from "true events" they are "based on" that that claim is ridiculous hype merely stuck on to grab more viewers.The ridiculous blurb pretends that a nice couple find themselves by some extraordinary circumstance being chased in freezing weather by some terrifying criminals and having to pull out all the stops in ingenuity and sheer guts to survive the situation. The true events involved a nice college couple lost in a snowstorm and hallucinating from crystal meth possibly taken days before, possibly taken at a New Year's Eve party that evening. Both stories would have most viewers rooting for the young couple to find a way out, to make it through, to survive and come home safe and well. Most of us would be very interested in the unfolding story.And then there's the actual movie. Let's boil it down to a nice, semi-concise plot statement. At Creepy Friend's trailer, Trashy Adulterer (ignoring responsibilities to wife and child) sleeps with Skanky Whore (ignoring responsibilities to ...)current boyfriend who then arrives and shoots himself through the head, sending her bleating to Alcoholic Pill Popper Mom. "X Weeks Later" in the diner where she waits tables Skanky Whore runs into Old Boyfriend Who Has Returned From Vegas And Is Now A Cop In Town...then BLAMMO basically she and Trashy Adulterer are suddenly standing outside Some House with Some Guy talking about how hard it's snowing while Jerky Freak Crowd draped on and in Standard RedNeck Pickup Truck throw bottles at them and roar off down the road, after which the two bits of trash we care nothing about drive off into the snowstorm and all these freaky, apparently supernatural things start happening. Interspersed with those weird occurrences are Transhy Couple calling 911 for help and everyone and his sibling out looking for but unable to find them. Until the end, when we get a flashback peek inside Some House and find that Trashy Couple did drugs and were SURPRISE! hallucinating all the "supernatural" stuff. And, of course, ended up freezing to death. the End (of my patience with idiots whose movies are so bad they have to SO extremely mislead audiences in order to get anyone to watch any of it....)

Because this movie was based on a true story, it's especially poignant. The snowy mountain setting is beautiful and yet dangerous to kids on hallucinogenic drugs. Mimi Rogers is so believable and yet such a complex character. You ought to dislike her for her selfishness as a mother, and yet you emphasize and care about her too. The young leads are so intense in their emotions, and you identify with them so that the suspense builds. The party going kids change into menacing threats as they chase the young lovers in the extreme coldness of the night.Wonderful direction in a movie that makes you care and think about life's choices.

I really cannot understand how some people make the decision to produce this kind of movies. I rated the particular movie as awful because I consider that I lost my time watching it. However I did not stop watching it because I was curious to see how bad it is. Scenario was pretty much simplified, actors were performing average (the only good point), and generally the whole impression of the movie was too bad. Movie is referred to a couple being lost in a snow storm after a party where they both had taken drags and during their return back home they see visions due to the drags taken. They try to make contact with the rescue teams but finally they did not make it due to the constant hunting of the visions. In the end they both froze to death. As a conclusion, I think the movie is not worth watching it and this post should be published so that no more people try to watch it and loose their time. "Truth hurts but that's it!" My condolences to the director and writers of this movie.
