No, not that Frozen. Get all your jokes out now, because this movie doesn't feature any lovable snowmen or reindeer.
This week we are talking about the 2010 survival horror film, Frozen! It tells the tale of three college friends on an annual ski trip who find themselves trapped on the ski lift overnight when the lodge closes down without them. Facing the dangers of hypothermia, frostbite, hunger, and deadly wolves, the three must figure out how to escape with their lives. No one will return for an entire week, leaving the stranded and faced with their own mortality.
Pete breaks down how the movie starts as your typical 2000's fare: shitty characters, a generic rock soundtrack, and a completely implausible situation that sets up the danger. However, he was delighted to report that that the film takes a turn at some point, and the realistic drama and complex character work elevates this into an actually engaging experience.
Sarah continues to note more places we cannot visit because of horror movies, and laughs at the accurate "New Englandness" of the whole affair (the movie takes place in Vermont, and the characters are from Massachusetts).
So strap on your skis, bring plenty of warm clothing, and remember: don't get too scared!
