Genre: Drama/Drame

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

Frozen. A nice little gem. This is a drama/horror movie without any monster except nature. The idea is from director Adam Green (Coffee and donut, Hatchet 1 &2, Spiral). Many think Green is one of the new director with the most potential. Frozen definitely confirms his stroke of genius. The story
is about a ski outing for three university students (Emma Bell, Shawn Ashmore, Kevin Zegers) in order to save some cash they make a deal with the ski lift attendant. This does not pay off as on their last run a mistake is made and they are stuck in the chairlift 50 feet high close ot the top of the mountain in very cold weather. Most of the movie is shot from the charilift perspective which really shows the genius required to keep the viewer interested for the duration of the movie. I will not spoil the story further but it is a must see, especially if you are a skier... great cinematography with no CG. Good score as well from Andy Garfield.

Frozen. malheureusement il n'y a pas de version francaise sur le Blu ray, ni de sous-titre. Mais je vous conseille quand meme de voir ce film qui restera avec vous pendant plusieurs jours. Le jeune directeur Adam Green (Coffee and donut, Hatchet 1 &2, Spiral) a beaucoup de potentiel et ceci est bien demontre avec Frozen. L'histoire est celle de trois etudiants universitaire (Emma Bell, Shawn Ashmore, Kevin Zegers) qui sont pris a bord d'une telechaise lors d'un randonnee en ski. A plus de 50 pieds du sol ils n'osent pas sauter lorsqu'il realisent que les lumieres se ferment et que le mont ne reouvriras que quatre jours plus tard. Ils se remettent en question a mesure que la temperature plonge pendant la nuit. La suite est de plus en plus dramatique alors qu'ils combattent la nature.
Il faut voir, surtout si vous etes skieurs... Cinematographie reussie et piste musicale excellente de Andy Garfield.

Joe Lynch: That's easy. The sarlacc pit.
Parker O'Neil: I'm sorry, the what?
Joe Lynch: The sarlacc pit. From "Return of the Jedi". Uh, hello. Being slowly digested over a 1000 years - worst death ever.
