Frozen Reviews Trapped on a Ski Lift

Will this icy indie horror flick have you stuck to your chair(lift) or ready to jump into a wolf pack?  Here's the word on the street from Park City.

Two of the bigger success stories at this year's Sundance Film Festival are indie horror flicks Frozen and Buried. Though Frozen, the "based on a true" story of a trio of skiers stranded in a chair lift until their ski resort reopens a week later, was already acquired by Anchor Bay Films, Buried, the "Ryan Reynolds buried alive" movie, was only picked up by Lionsgate this past weekend. Here's what critics have to say about Frozen:

Cinematical's Eric D. Snider: "But who cares about any of this? Not you, that's for sure, and especially not with the self-consciously hip banter that passes between the three. (I like Green's ideas, but the dialogue is the movie's weakness, and all three of these characters are jerks.)"

Firtshowing.net's Brandon Lee Tenney: "If you're really looking forward to this film, my first nugget of advice would be to not look forward to this film.

Twitch's Rodney Perkins : "This film deserves all the praise that it will inevitably receive."

We Are Movie Geeks' Kirk : "It is safe to say Green has grown as a film maker since the days of HATCHET, one of the key areas in this growth being in the development in his characters."
