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.

Movie has the beginnings of an idea that isn't bad, but goes off the rails pretty quickly, and never really builds characters up to the point where we're particularly invested in seeing them survive. By the time (spoilers) the wolves turn up a second time I was laughing more than feeling any sort of tension. On top of all that, a pretty bog-standard ending; there are better ways to spend your time.

Inconsistent and unrealistic, they would have suffered more frostbite, there would’ve been way more blood, they wouldn’t be able to move that easily due to the cold. What happened to her hand that froze onto the bar? Dan’s body would’ve been dragged away by the wolves. Overall a good idea, but not executed properly.
