FROZEN trailer hints to too much - watch at your own risk!

Published at:  Dec 21, 2009 9:05:48 PM CST

SPOILER ALERT !!

Hey folks, Harry here - I had my own rather horrifying experience today. It wasn't being stuck on a chairlift to be froze solid. No, it was to have a wisdom tooth extracted. One that had exploded. This resulted in a massive amount of grinding into my jaw bone. The entire left side of my face is frozen & numb. So I have a bit of a FROZEN thing going on at the moment... But seriously, regarding this trailer... it hints at too much to me. You should see FROZEN at all costs. Your next chance will be at SUNDANCE, which will be an amazing screening. Seriously, I can not imagine a better midnight horror film to watch at Sundance other than FROZEN. This film will fuck with your head in the best of ways! Then the rest of us can see the film when it gets released wide on February 5th.

At BUTT-NUMB-A-THON 11, the film caused one patron, a lovely femme, to literally faint. She was carried out into the lobby, where she was brought back to consciousness, and completed the film. SO - Can you handle FROZEN? Well, that's what Brianne thought, next thing she knew... she was no longer in a theater. What will happen to you? Do you dare see FROZEN? That's what I figured, pussy! Well, when you grow a pair, let me know. Here's the trailer:

Hey, You're not FROZEN, Click... it is easy, Click!

    Are you fucking retarded

    by redkamel

    I just watched the trailer and thought to myself "that is the dumbest trailer I have ever seen". I came to AICN to hopefully jump in on making fun of it. And I find a positive review?
    you must be off your rocker if you think three people on a chairlift is any sort of scary premise. What are they, too dumb to get off the lift? Given the plethora of goretex, nylon straps and buckles its should be pretty easy to figure a way to get down. Then you ski...DOWN..the mountain. On the one lift they have have been riding all day.It looks fucking stupid. It also made no sense how there were scenes of the people "frozen" yet at no point was there any sort of adverse weather (which would actually be the only scary part of being stuck on a lift). Do I dare see Frozen? Fuck no its a waste of money

    by captain rawbeard

    I am sure I have seen or read one of those Worst Case Scenario books which tells you what to do if stuck on a Ski Lift. Most of its common sense too. You use a belt or strap from your clothing to shimmy along the cable to the next tower, use tower to climb to the ground. walk or ski down mountain, have a nice cup of tea/soup/coffee.

    Film looks ok and I am just wondering if they explain why not one of them can get down of the chair lift.

    by ganymede3001

    No matter how many times I do it, it's scary as hell. And if you've every skied Heavenly in California, and took the lift to the Nevada side of the mountain. Knows how fucking scary it is when you get really high up and that cage starts to violently shake. This will movie will do very well, since I'm sure I"m not the only one who's weary of ski lifts.

    would figure out a way to get down using only their available gear. But if your life was on the line, good old fashioned endurance and using the hand over hand, legs crossed on the cable climbing method would work, and as previously mentioned securing yourself with a belt when you get tired, would do the trick.

    and why type of resort doesn't check their lifts before they close them down?

    I know i know, "suspend your disbelief" but at least with jaws, sharks can eat you. chairlift is never gonna leave you hanging.

    they people who gets scared of this are the same people who are scared of elevators. and umbrellas. and pinecones.

    A ski genre horror movie is not that hard. So many skiers get lost and killed going out of bounds or into the backcountry these days; why the hell would you have someone "stranded" on a chair lift? That's your fuckin idea or horror? Really? This whole thing sounds like an RL Stine "novel."

    I did not like this movie

    by cmdx

    *SPOILERS*I understand where people are coming from when they say that "well, if this situation happened..." but there is the problem... THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY THIS SITUATION COULD HAPPEN.Is any hill going to close down and not have ski patrol scan the entire lift? No.Is somebody going to notice the extra car in the parking lot? Yes.Do ski resorts close down for an entire week during the peak of the season? No.Sure, if you completely ignore the impossible situation I guess what they did sorta makes sense... if you were a fucking idiot. In retrospect removing these dumbasses from the gene pool isn't something I have an issue with.I don't even want to get into the acting. I hope the casting director gets into another line of work, because watching a feature with these actors (especially the 2 guys) is a chore.It was entertaining and that type of movie fit well in the timeslot Harry gave it. I look forward to seeing a smaller more-indie film at BNAT, stuff that people wouldn't otherwise see, but this isn't worth the trouble to see at a theater. If it ends up on Netflix Instant View then it may be worth a look, but until that point AVOID.

    As you would almost never break your leg landing because the snow under the lifts are not compacted down like the normal slope its off piest. Also when do mountains close down from sunday till friday when it peak season....... never.

    I already fucking hate this movie for being stupid.

    Fainting

    by ghostdad

    Was the body's way of saying "I'm not watching this idiocy anymore." People jump out of helicopters to ski all the time and are fine, yet somehow a fucking CHAIRLIFT is scary? I understand how something like snorkeling in the middle of the ocean can be somewhat scary in theory, but is Skiing really some new exotic thing that nobody knows anything about?

    Remember How...

    by micturatingbenjamin

    People thought Open Water was scary? I watched it, and said, versimilitude is broken in this flick because there's a camera there. Even if they shot it like a home movie, who's the dickhead with the camera watching them die, Jigsaw?This would be a sort of scary premise, if they hadn't already done it on a very funny episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.As for sliding down, don't try using your pants, as Mythbusters proved there's not enough lubrication on the cable to keep the pants from snagging. Also if you fall past 20 feet, you're going to break something. Snow isn't going to stop you (again, Mythbusters). I think it's funny that wild dogs kill the guy, where the fuck is this ski lift, Afghanistan? Where packs of wild dogs await anyone slow enough on the slopes?I'll catch this one on DVD. And I'll only faint a little.

    Is It Just Me, Or Would Getting Naked

    by kevinwillis.net

    And tying your clothes together be better than sitting up in the ski lift all night? Make a rope out of jackets and ski suits, lower two of 'em down, and the lightest or one with the most upper-body strength unties it, loops it around the bar, and goes down as far as they can (holding on to both sides) before letting one side go. Then, they are all off the lift, on the ground, and can put their clothes back on with less risk of frost-bite than from staying on the ski-lift all night.

    Damn, I was just going to bring up Mythbusters...

    by chewtoy

    All of the "simple" solutions people bring up just don't work. It would take an incredible athlete to climb the wire all the way to a tower if caught between two moderate spaced ones, "sliding" it like a zipline doesn't work, and you could turn your clothing into maybe 10 feet worth of rope once you tie it together with any chance of it supporting 170 lbs. (Go ahead and try it at home and see how far you can go with it... And also realize that this idea gets you mostly naked with your gear tied to the lift above you once you drop.). People who jump out of helicopters do so onto steep inclines... It's not the powder that protects them, it's that their momentum is only somewhat redirected by the mountain. Plus, the colder you get (and you'll lose plenty of heat with air circulating all around you in nighttime alpine temperatures, bad weather or not) the more stupid things you'll do as your judgement is impared. It's not uncommon to find hypothermia victims nude because... well, whatever the reason it probably seemed like a good idea at the time to them. So really it depends on whether you believe a system that relies on human observation could ever fuck up enough to leave someone on a lift (counting cars in the parking lot is unreliable, as plenty of resorts have shuttles and such.) As for being attacked by wolves... That one I have no defense for.

    "hints at too much?!?" Harry you MORON

    by chadley bebay

    You are the exact kind of idiot who brings attention to spoilers, thereby spoiling it! Allow me to explain...Any scene in that trailer could be a result of misleading editing, a dream-sequence, etc. I have seen enough trailers to know they could hint at something, but actually have a totally different outcome. In other words, if I just watched the trailer without reading your headline, I wouldn't have thought I had seen a spoiler. BUT YOU make it ABUDANTLY CLEAR that there IS a spoiler in the trailer. Just leave it alone. Its like when someone says to you at the begininng of a movie, "I TOTALLY flipped at the ending! Wait till you see what happens!" thereby revealing that there IS a twist, so you are looking for evidence the whole movie. FURTHERMORE- you are doing a GREAT disservice to the filmmakers for labeling the trailer, the one thing that might get the movie noticed, as too revealing, and watch at your own risk. On behalf of the makers of Frozen: "FUCK YOU!" I wouldnt have given two shits about this movie, if not for the trailer.

Would it be easy or safe? Hell no. And you'd need good weather. Plus, you could put on everyones gear as padding, then jump. Then steal a few pads from the ski towers and they could jump too.

    It's funny, the ideas circulating the Talkback are the same things we were talking about before seeing the movie. Of course, they try the easy things, and of course, they fail. Because it's not as easy or simple as you think. Does the movie rely on them doing dumb shit? Of course, just like every other horror movie every made. But is it still suspenseful? Yeah. I'd recommend this movie to my friends, even if only as a rental.

    On climbing the wire

    by chewtoy

    A person in snow gloves and hard ski boots is going to have a hell of a time climbing up the chair lift to the line and supporting all of their body weight without a harness or safety line from a frozen steel wire while dragging themselves (without clips or pulleys to decrease resistance on the line) for 50 yards or more, then somehow over the sheave wheels and up onto the crossarm itself and then down to a ladder on the central tower. Add the discomfort of the weather and the stress of their lives depending not allowing a single slip and you have a feat that few could realistically accomplish. I have no doubt that there are people who can do it, but I also have no doubt that they are a tiny percentage of the people who think that *they* could do it.

    Why hypothermic people remove their clothes

    by greatone3

    Go here for a good explanation: http://tinyurl.com/4bs4seNot being a skier, how high up would these people be? 20 - 30 feet? Higher? The solution would seem to be to have everyone remove their clothes, lower the girl as far as they can (depending upon length of clothes and strength of tying them together), give the girl the car keys and have her go get help. The guys could put their clothes back on and await help.Sounds like the way to go, barring the pack of feral wolves that seem to roam U.S. ski resorts taking down the girl.

    by ebonic_plague


    Really? How about that guy who was stuck in an elevator for a little less than a week? Sure, that'd make a dumb premise for a horror movie (maybe an interesting idea for an art movie), but the complaint that stuff like this "could NEVER happen" is patently stupid oversimplification. I have no doubts that people have been stuck on chairlifts for extended periods, but the real question is whether or not this could make a good horror movie... to which my answer is, probably not, but we'll see.

    by chewtoy

    They often try to keep them low so that trees can help shield them from the weather, but some can tower over the trees and be 50 to 75 feet over uneven terrain. There are definitely points on lifts out there where there is no reasonable way to get yourself safely to the ground.
