Don’t watch the trailers that reveal entirely too much. Don’t read anything about the movie. Just see it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 22, 2023

Plays out like a decent gimmick that could have been fully explored with a 5-10 minute short film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020

Frozen is an expertly crafted chiller that will send a barrage of shivers up the spine.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 24, 2019

There are moments of true terror and a fair dollop of tension, but it quickly became clear that Green may be boxing far above his weight.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2018

Disney is continuing its winning streak.

| Mar 5, 2018

Frozen is a tour de force, not because of exceptional performances by the actors, but rather the outstanding directing of Adam Green, who also wrote the script. The script gave Green a limited area within which to work, and he carried it off superbly.

Overall, it's a one note premise, where the characters, stuck up on a lift, have nowhere to go and quite fittingly the movie in turn, goes nowhere.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 14, 2016

You'll definitely recall this freezing flick the next time you go skiing. For the next 15 years or so.

Reinterpretation of The Snow Queen, Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairytale as an animated, female empowerment musical.

Energy thaws kid-friendly Frozen

| Jan 2, 2014

Green avoids Hatchet's corny clichs and totally redeems himself with a harrowing portrait of humans at the mercy of the great outdoors.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2013

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Characters possess serious lack of thinking ability and survival skills. Even when it comes to stuff like zipping up their coats all the way.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Adam Green's fun 2006 horror film Hatchet revelled in the art of self-aware pastiche, but it is in his second major work that he has found a legitimately great concept out of which to wring more nuanced thrills.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 10, 2011

The parts of the film that work are flat-out fantastic. There just aren't enough of them.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 10, 2011

Like Jack London's 'To Build a Fire,' this is an exercise in extracting suspense from the circumstances of a harsh wintry environment and a bad situation rather than imposing danger in the form of an outside (and potentially vanquishable) foe.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2010

Greens nifty framing, dawning-dread pacing, and fixation on corporeal deterioration proves sturdy.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 11, 2010

The characters, situation, and dialogue are stretched a bit thin.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2010

While making the occasional narrative misstep, this is effective low-budget filmmaking, and undoubtedly a notch better than what usually passes as suspense these days.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 6, 2010

The movie has a good flow, and it understands how to generate thrills, but the characters, situation and dialogue are stretched a bit thin.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 1, 2010
