Critics Consensus

Writer/director Adam Green has the beginnings of an inventive, frightening yarn in Frozen, but neither the script nor the cast are quite strong enough to truly do it justice.

Ed Koch

The Atlantic

Frozen is a tour de force, not because of exceptional performances by the actors, but rather the outstanding directing of Adam Green, who also wrote the script. The script gave Green a limited area within which to work, and he carried it off superbly.

Lessons of Darkness

Greens nifty framing, dawning-dread pacing, and fixation on corporeal deterioration proves sturdy.

Deep Focus Review

Don’t watch the trailers that reveal entirely too much. Don’t read anything about the movie. Just see it.

Rated: 3/4

Plays out like a decent gimmick that could have been fully explored with a 5-10 minute short film.

Rated: 1.5/4.0

Frozen is an expertly crafted chiller that will send a barrage of shivers up the spine.

A taut, relentless thriller that keeps you on edge, driven largely by its stark simplicity.

In a simple premise film like this, you need likeable characters, drama and a good amount of danger, and I feel Frozen hits the mark on these. The acting is great, the characters are relatable, and there is some real moments that make you cringe with second hand pain.

An absolute bore of a film that's carried heavily by a ridiculously unbelievable premise that is full of holes and inconsistencies. It's said right in the movie itself: "even the shittiest ski hill in the world wouldn't leave them up there."

It's very very dumb that they don't have mobile phone with them & also how the 2nd lead die in the movie & how the girl survive. It's very dumb.

This movie is easy to watch, I'll give it that. The plot is thin, but they are not fooling anyone. They never sold anything much different that what it delivers. It's a silly thriller about three people stranded on a ski lift, you know that from looking at the movie cover and you kind of know what will happen even before starting. We could give props to the effort in not shooting the scenes in green screen and not using CGI, that actually improves the experience a bit. But it doesn't save the lazy writing and uninspired acting. The solutions found by the characters are plain dumb, the dialogue and story development felt really flat to me and the main scene of the movie is poorly shot. The character seem like a very obvious mannequin. The positive thing is the premise, there's something about these cheap claustrophobic thrillers that I find easy to watch and to discuss. If you share that interest, you'll find this movie a silly one that you watched with a guilty pleasure. But even in that genre is not a memorable one. Not painful, not good either.
