Wind Chill Reviews

There is a sort of cod-Stephen King kind of horror laid over Wind Chill, but it feels messy and unfocused.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 31, 2023

...a refreshingly adult horror effort that boasts a pair of phenomenal lead performances.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 11, 2008

Imagine a campfire story told by Jack London after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels. The chilly atmosphere would be in full force but the plotting might be a bit punch drunk.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 2, 2008

After a great set-up, we're left stranded by the side of the road, wishing the filmmakers had come up with a conclusion at least somewhere close to as good.

Full Review | Original Score: 70/100 | Sep 1, 2007

At the very least, it's an old-fashioned ghost story with half a brain -- and that's got to be worth more than a casual glance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 26, 2007

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2007

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 3, 2007

The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.

| Aug 3, 2007

Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 3, 2007

Spooky, smart and subtle.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 3, 2007

Promising elements never quite bind.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 31, 2007

Could have worked, if only I had given a damn.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 4, 2007

Wind Chill suffers from an underdeveloped screenplay, which feels like a first draft, erroneously deemed ready for production.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 4, 2007

Wind Chill deserves a merit badge for even trying to tell a horror story without resorting to tired and amateurish shock value. The picture's puzzle might not piece together properly, but the effort is appreciated.

| Original Score: B- | May 3, 2007

Almost always, you can expect the worst when a studio dumps a film without advance screenings. But the well-crafted thriller Wind Chill, with rising star Emily Blunt, is the very rare case where somebody (in this case, Sony) goofed.

Well before day breaks, it's the movie's plot (which would have made for an outstanding Outer Limits episode) that has come to seem stuck in an endless loop.

| May 2, 2007

Despite its failings, Wind Chill represents a road rarely taken by 21st-century American horror films: Original (in the non-remake sense of the term), subtle and restrained.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 2, 2007

A tidy little ghost story, with interesting characters, a captivating performance by up-and-comer Emily Blunt.

| May 1, 2007

Wind Chill, for all its flaws, is an often spooky and imaginative ghost story that contains a genuine creepiness.

Full Review | May 1, 2007

A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.
