DIRECTOR: Adam Green
CAST: Shawn Ashmore, Emma Bell, Kevin Zegers
Three teenagers are on snow-shelled mountain side on a snowboarding trip. Unfortunately they don’t seem to have enough money to buy tickets for the cable car that takes people up the slopes, who thereafter snowboard down on their own.
The girl among them, Parker, then coerces the cable car operator to let them up for free. At some point by a huge misunderstanding when shifts change, the threesome are left up on an open cable car overnight, in freezing conditions. That’s when panic and human survival instincts begin fighting against each other as they try to figure out a way down. The ski resort is closed and will be so for the next five days. Should they jump down? They are over three storeys high. Eventually one jumps down and starts a chain of events that ends with two of them being quaffed down by a pack of hungry wolves.
Frozen is one of those movies in which you ask yourself “why are they doing that”, the moment you seem the teenagers going down that terrible slippery slope of no return. Along the way they make some really dumb decisions which the sensible adult will only put down to inexperience. Joe (played by Ashmore) has grown up since his days at the X-Men franchise where he played the incidental character of Iceman. You need a little bit of imagination and patience to appreciate it. A strong stomach will also be required for the slightly grissly scenes.
