Critics Consensus

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

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-)

You know.... I may buck the trend here but, I really liked this movie. I watch a large number of paranormal horror type movies and this one is pretty good. A nice tidy story that supplies viewers with the answers at the end. I do not always think that works well for horror movies but, it works just fine with this one. Atmospherics are good and when the movie begins, the viewer is not really sure just where the story is going. Or why. It almost has a hint of a 1950's style ghost story. I recommend this movie. It is not an Academy Award winning film. But it IS a good horror flick.

Neat little premise that doesn't viscerally thrill nearly as much as it should.

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

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.
