Trivia
The film was shot entirely practically, meaning no soundstage, nor greenscreen, nor CGI. The actors and actresses were truly suspended over fifty feet in the air on the side of a real mountain in Utah.

Goofs
Ski resorts send "liftees" to inspect the lifts at the end of every shift to prevent this very scenario from happening.

Quotes
Parker O'Neil: Okay then, Lynch, what *is* the worst way to die?
Joe Lynch: What...
Parker O'Neil: No, no, no, you have an answer for everything. What is your biggest fear?
Joe Lynch: That's easy. The Sarlacc pit.
Parker O'Neil: I'm sorry, the what?
Joe Lynch: The Sarlacc pit. From "Return of the Jedi". Uh, hello. Being slowly digested over a thousand years - worst death ever.
Dan Walker: [in a mocking whiny voice] Dan, why don't I ever have a girlfriend? Why?

You won't thaw!

"Frozen" is a beautifully crafted and original horror/thriller set on a ski lift. Now, you might watch the trailer like I did and thought, "that is going to be so bloody boring! It's just three people sitting on a ski lift!" But trust me, it's much more than that. Adam Green holds us there and always makes sure that we're captivated enough to keep watching. The characters were well-developed and likable, so you care about what's going to happen to them. It's also extremely thought provoking and realistic.

The acting is very good, especially as Adam Green, the director, actually tortured the actors so they come across genuinely cold. The direction is claustrophobic and uncomfortable in a good way! There are also some horrible cringe-worthy moments which are genuinely horrific. The special effects and music were also top notch, with the chilly wind effects getting right up your nostril.

Although it did run out of steam in some sections, for the most part it was an engaging and exciting film that was superbly acted and directed. Adam Green is proving himself to be a top notch director and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to making horror. I'd highly recommend watching this on a cold day, or on a hot day if you want a cool down.
