Review – Wind Chill

Wow, does this one ever take its sweet time getting underway. Nearly all of the first half of the picture is nothing but set-up: two college students – an attractive woman and a vaguely creepy guy – get stranded in the snow after taking a wrong turn off the highway (when oh when will city folk learn not to leave the main roads?). For a few minutes it gets interesting when they’re menaced by frozen zombies. But then it sank back down under the weight of too many useless, how-will-they-fail-to-escape twists. Though I was glad it never turned into a halfwit-with-a-chainsaw debacle, I would have preferred that it at least turn into something rather than meandering randomly along until the film stock ran out. Mildly amusing
