Review: Frozen

It's year 2011 already and I'm not done with the 2010 movies yet!
This is another top movie on my list last year:

"With 30 million skiers and snowboarders in the US and over 5000 chairlifts in operation, its only a matter of time before someone gets left behind."
After Frozen, you might want to think twice before breaking any rules in anywhere. Yeah, some says that rules are meant to be broken. But don't forget, there are reasons why the rules are set on the first place right?
Three friends - Dan (Kevin Zegers of Gossip Girl), Joe (Shawn Ashmore of X-Men), and Dan's girlfriend, Parker went for skiing at a ski resort on a Sunday afternoon.
Due to the bad weather, the resort decides to shut down early. However, the trio refused to leave until they ski for the one last round.
Thanks to some miscommunication, the lift attendant closes down the ski lift before they reach the top, leaving the three friends stranded in their ski lift chair. Not a single soul knows they are stuck up there.
Also, there are no ways of escaping from the chair lift as they are high above from the ground and there are a pack of hungry wolfs growling underneath them.
They felt dreadful thinking that they might have to stuck up there for an entire week. For sure, they couldn't stand the bloody cold weather and the storm. So, they think of some ways to escape before they are frozen to death...
Frozen doesn't need any gun fires, bombs, cars-chasing or any other action-packs to provide terror, tension, and suspense. The film do just fine with what it has for the audience. It is not very surprising, but it is definitely heart-breaking to some viewers. You can never know that the minimal use of actions can also create some sense of horror. Not a big fan of horror movies, but I like this, totally.
Overall rating: A
