Frozen |
As I stood outside with my snow shovel in hand staring at the 10 inches of snow I could only think of one thing, Frozen! No no not that Frozen! Instead of Olaf you get wild wolves tearing through flesh and bone. The tag line to this film is what got me. It read will do for skiing what Jaws did for swimming. Which is no lie. I've never been but after seeing this I'm thinking I might just want to stay away.
An hour into shoveling and my fingers are starting to burn and I'm thinking "wow those guys were in the cold for days." I can't even imagine how the cold felt after that length of time. I for surely would have given up much sooner than they did. Up until a few weeks ago I didn't even know that his movie existed. The convention I'm heading to next will have the writer/director there as a guest so why not take the opportunity to educate myself. Yes, it can be super cheesy and not logical at all at times but there are several scenes that will make you go OOOOOOHHHHHHHH and want to look away. Those are the best parts. Imagine waking up to find that your hand is frozen to a metal pole. The site of slowly ripping your own skin off to free your hand will make you go ugh in itself.
My advice if you are looking for some suspense is to give this one a look. It's not terrifying but the possibility of freezing to death and being stuck high up on a ski lift will chill you to your core. My back hurts and I'm tired from shoveling so this is a quick one but I wanted to share where my thoughts go while I'm stuck outside in the cold. Always thinking movies!
