Couple on weekend snow camping trip gets stranded in the woods after a snowmobile crash. Boyfriend was somewhat unprepared but that was probably due more to the fact he had a surprise in the works and his mind was more focused on that than properly planning for a few days in the wilderness. A strange man appears amongst the trees and things go awry after that.It's a shame Seth David Mitchell didn't have more screen time - he's adorable. I wish Sedona James' character would have been more likable but I attribute the bitchiness to early pregnancy. That bitchiness also saw her through in a situation that might have left a sweet girl in the tent hyperventilating and curled in a fetal position.Nice twist at the end that had me rewinding to verify. Worth a look!
... View MoreI watched this movie with no preconceived notions and very little knowledge of the plot. I mention this because I believe it contributed to my ultimately finding it to be a very good movie, especially for what I imagine was a very low budget film. Not really sure why other reviewers were so negative about this movie. While it was not a big budget feast for the eyes jammed packed with stars, it was an interesting movie that was different enough from the majority of films being produced to make it every watchable. Where I think this film really excelled was engaging the audience in the emotions of the characters. I found myself identifying with everything the main character was going through, which for me is indicative of successful storytelling. I may be being overly generous with my rating, but that's only because I don't want people to pass on seeing it because of what I would consider to be unfair reviews.If you are going to see The Frozen, do yourself a favor by not reading any spoilers or synopses. Going into the film with an open mind will make it more worth your time.
... View MoreThe movie starts out pretty interesting. A cute couple going on an exciting adventure. However things didn't quite turn out the way they wanted. The quality of the movie is really good, I don't know why some people didn't give good ratings for the movie. I enjoyed every minute of the movie. If you like exciting, mysterious movies then should definitely watch this. As the movie progresses it makes more sense, some parts were a little confusing but don't worry in the end they will explain everything. I was shocked at the ending but at least the movie didn't leave you with wondering what was all this about. This movie also has a great lesson to show, which is not to wander off on your own in the forest! I liked the movie because it was realistic, something that can really happen, if you believe in spiritual things. Honestly, if you were stuck in the forest by yourself, this is probably how your days would go by. So in overall, this movie had some ups and downs, but I really think they did a good job at this movie, and I would recommend it to others. If you are watching this with your lover, or partner, then it's definitely fun to keep asking "What would you do if we ended up in a situation like this?" But yea, good movie I would say.
... View MoreThere are probably going to be some reviews bashing the simplicity of this film, but amazingly enough that is what I found most intriguing about it. For a simple ultra-low budget this is the best I've seen in a while. The synopsis is simple. Guy talks his girl into heading up to the snowy mountains in a bold (if not ignorantly risky) attempt to get some alone time. Survival becomes a factor after a foretelling crash, and then of course there is the menacing bad guy to contend with. The director is knowledgeable of the area and the expertise shows in the scenery takes. Great camera work and some effort put into good angles. The musical score helped out quite a bit, at least for me. Good tension rifts and effectively moody when needed. I was most amused by the first half of the film. The focus is the interaction between the guy bending over backwards in optimism to cater to the ever-skeptic and ego-crushing girlfriend. Sounds cheesy I know, but my opinion is that for some reason this worked.. I'm sure some couples are going to relate.. and then the added bonus of them ripping around on an RMK sled while dripping with naivety. They did pack quite well at least. I think I was more nervous and tense for them than they were. If you've ever personally crossed that moment in the outdoors where you just aren't quite sure if you are going to make it back to the truck... even if just briefly, then you know what I mean. Anyway, some nice details that make sense in a survival struggle were present.I'm not saying there weren't flaws. There we're. Both in tech details for what was being portrayed and in the story itself. For instance, snowmobiles are heavy and tricky to ride in a couple plus feet of mountain powder. Not something for a novice. It would have been fun to show the realism of getting one unstuck.. lol. Also 3/4 of the way into the film my plausibility meter was gagging with the bad guy, but that one worked itself out.. just have to be a little patient. All in all I was entertained by this cheap trip into the woods. Not everyone will be, but if you dabble in the outdoors with your spouse, it might have a better effect.
