Critics Consensus

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

London Evening Standard

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

Rated: 1/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Guardian

Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.

Rated: 1/5

Grant Watson

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Leave it back in 2007. Great premise. Does not deliver. Could have done so much more with this movie, but they just churned out a boring, poorly scripted, lump of kaka.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Jerod S

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.
