The Frozen (2012)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Brilliant and touching

A Disappointing Continuation

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I liked the story, and I liked the ending, but the lead female character completely ruined the movie for me because she is just such a total B*%#!! I swear, I wanted to strangle her throughout the whole movie. From the moment the couple arrives at the campsite to set up, she does nothing but nag and criticize him the WHOLE TIME, and for no reason. She's one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever seen in a movie. When her boyfriend is setting up the tent, she stands there watching him, being no help to him at all, and begins criticizing his tent assembly skills, this after she just admitted that she's never even set up a tent herself. And she has the nerve to criticize him when he hasn't even done anything wrong yet? Then, she tells him that she needs to go to the bathroom, and just stands there staring at him like she expects him to cup his hands for her to pee into or something. He hands her a roll of toilet paper, and she has the nerve to scoff at him when she takes it. What the heck is her problem? These are just the first examples of the horrible and negative attitude she displays throughout the entire movie. And then I really wanted to puke even more when he proposes to her later in the movie! WHAT?!? What sane and rational man would be stupid enough to want to marry someone like her? If the girlfriend was much nicer, I would've liked this movie so much more. I do like it, but I can't even watch it again because the horrible girlfriend makes me want to scream. In order for a movie to really work, the characters have to be at least a little bit likable, so the audience can sympathize. If not for her, I would give this 7 stars. But I have to deduct a star because I simply despise the girlfriend.

This movie starts with a non original idea, but, well, who gives a crap...after all, there aren't many original movies nowadays... After a few minutes, we start looking at the clock, to see how much time we have already wasted...the movie is slow-paced, it doesn't have anything to "grab" the viewer...and then, ends in the most ridiculous forms ever... The movie is about a couple, who went camping in a snowy mountain. A few hours later, while sight-seeing, they have an accident with the snowmobile, and they return back to the camping place, so that they nourish their wounds... In that same evening they find out they are not alone...There are some persons after them, especially one guy with a shotgun. Well, to make things shortened, the guy with the shotgun is like a soul, that guides the dead, and the couple find out that they died in the accident... Saw this idea in other movies, like The Others, Dead End, and in those movies, it worked better...this one is lame, boring, and very very very slow paced, and, after a few minutes, you find out what truly happens, and then, you spend more than 1 hour just to see if you are right,and they truly died in the accident... I didn't liked it, neither did my wife, and we love horror/mystery/thriller movies...complete waste of time, but then again, I saw some good reviews....so everyone's got the right for his/her opinion.......

This movie starts off bad and gets worse. Terrible acting and equally bad dialogue are the two things I remember this movie for, poor storyline is the third. It is a low budget film granted, but that is no excuse. A poor plot , bad acting and no connection with the two main characters, in fact I found the male lead character extremely annoying and lost count of how many times the phrases,"seriously" and "give me a second" were used. The eventual twist at the end of the film could be guessed well before it is revealed. The only good comment I can make about this movie is that there were occasionally some stunning shots of snow covered landscapes.

The Frozen starts off promisingly, with an intriguing and watchable female lead and a better than decent male lead. Their interpersonal dynamics are ridden with ambiguous tension and the situation, a snowmobile accident that leaves them stranded, is grist for the mill of suspense, thrills and maybe horror. This goes on for two thirds of the film. Thereafter, the movie gradually reveals itself to be none of these, neither thrilling, suspenseful nor scary. It begins to drag. Badly. Nothing happens. Nothing keeps happening. The woman wanders, discovers a wedding ring intended for her, lights a fire, and on and on. But nothing engages, nothing moves forward and nothing comes together. This goes on -or off- for a good (actually bad) twenty minutes. Then comes the finale. A trite, amateurish, bad film student's conception of a "cool" resolution. In fact, what we are treated to is a caricature of a prototypical Twilight Zone conceit. it's the one you were convinced no one would ever try again for its embarrassing familiarity and pretension. I don't think you'll like this film.
