This movie Frozen, centers on a real life situation that is as scary as a slasher. Three college students Dan. best friend Lynch and Dan's new girl friend Parker leave school for a weekend of fun snowboarding and skiing. They decide to cut a few corners and pay off the ski lift operator, so they can get on the lift for a cheaper price, which is against ski logging policy, and their rules are there to protect their customers for a reason. As the three get tired out they get a quick bite to eat and go for a last minute lift and the ski life operator say, OK but with miss-communication they get left there suspended sixty feet above air as they sit there waiting for help they soon realize that nobody's coming for them and the lodge is closed for the week and re-opens Friday. They have to decide to either jump and risk injury or survive the elements as the temperature plummets Dan decides to jump but in doing so encounters for problems then imagined. with Dan on the ground and Lynch and Parker in the lift freezing to death they soon realize that they are not alone on the mountain.
We have seen scary movie with, ghost, supernatural things, and crazed people etc. But, what sets this movie apart is that this could and probably has happened to somebody and it is a refreshing experience, because natural elements are the threat, plus the movie gives the feel that every human has a breaking point and the movie did a pretty good job at finding theres. This movies gives us a good question to us who sees it. What would you do in this situation? I thought that I would not like this movie but the director makes us feel for these three people, and all of the visuals get under your skin and you can't take your eyes off the screen. One great thing about "Frozen" is that the filmmakers actually shot the film among the snowy mountains (in Utah). No green screen or sound stage is used, and the on-location shots give the film a real look and feel. Otherwise, the film is average with its scenario that heavily depends on coincidences.

My husband is a lift operator at Mt. Brighton during ski season, and he's really wanting to go see this one! Maybe I'll surprise him for our 10 year wedding anniversary and take him to the movies! Nothing says "romance" more than a good scary movie! :)
