THREE COLLEGE FRIENDS ARE SPENDING A SUNDAY SKIING. WHEN THE RESORT IS CLOSING THEY WANT TO GET IN ONE MORE RUN, BUT A MISTAKE IS MADE AND THE RESORT CLOSES LEAVING THE THREE FRIENDS STRANDED ON THE SKI LIFT. THE REST OF THE MOVIE IS ABOUT THEIR SURVIVAL.
I SUPPOSE WHAT MAKES THIS MOVIE SO CHILLING IS THAT THESE EVENTS COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY ALL THREE ARE VERY PLAUSIBLE, AND THE EVENTUAL OUTCOMES FROM THOSE ACTIONS FOLLOW A LOGICAL ROUTE. IN THE EXTRAS ON THE DVD IT IS DISCLOSED THAT THE FILMING TOOK PLACE AT A SKI RESORT WHERE THE ACTORS HAD TO DEAL WITH THE COLD AND HARSH CONDITIONS. THIS ADDS A GRITTY REALISM THAT MAKES THE MOVIE EVEN MORE HARROWING.
RATING 3 OUT OF 5
THE RENTAL DVD EXTRAS INCLUDE 4 FEATURETTES ON THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE AND A COMMENTARY WITH THE DIRECTOR AND ACTORS.
