Critics Consensus

Wind Chill is a ghost story with a clunky and unpolished script that fails to keep viewers in suspense.

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.

Fiction Machine

There is a sort of cod-Stephen King kind of horror laid over Wind Chill, but it feels messy and unfocused.

Rated: 5/10

...a refreshingly adult horror effort that boasts a pair of phenomenal lead performances.

Imagine a campfire story told by Jack London after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels. The chilly atmosphere would be in full force but the plotting might be a bit punch drunk.

Rated: 3.5/5

Starts off with a ton of building doubt that works well to get you tensed up. But when Blunt and her rideshare end up in a snow drift on the way to Delaware and ghosts start showing up, the tension drains right out.

Emily Blunt leads this excellent film. But such a tragic ending.

Effectively creeps in over gloomily atmospheric vulnerability while its weakly scripted backbone nonsensically hinders it from further achievement, just leaving the talented cast to independently rise with silent judgment. (B-)
