    Wind Chill is very much Blunt's show - there are no other major characters save Holmes - and she even gets to climb a telephone pole in her Prada heels. Brava!

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

    This isn't merely a horror film about things going bump in the night, but a study of the effects of desolation on our sense of personal consciousness.

    A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.

    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.

    This intermittently effective thriller serves as a rickety vehicle for its two perfectly cast leads, working better as a slow-thawing two-hander than as a chilly ghost story.

    Jacobs and his writers are notably more interested in creepy atmosphere -- and in contemplating the order of the universe -- than in jump-in-your-seat jolts. But 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.

    The movie wasn't really that bad... or good for that matter. It starts out very slow making you hate the girl because she is a complete **** The guy is a creeper to say the least. Then the movie starts to pick up when they wreck there car and strange people and things start showing up. Then the movie just falls apart again as it ends. Overall the movie isn't anything special but it is an interesting watch and kind of fun to guess how it's going end. Watch this if you can borrow it from somebody or only spend a couple bucks otherwise pass.… Full Review »

    I honestly can't think of a worst movie-unbelievable plot with Disneyish Haunted Mansion ghosts-my teenagers and myself were rooting for the villain to kill the 2 leads.Really-who would spend the night in their car(with a complete stranger) after an accident when a gas station is a couple of miles back up the road? Laughably bad, but not as funny as Plan 9 from Outerspace. ANY critic that gave this a remote favorable review should be immediately fired. This film is another mindless story which appeals to a teenager who has a phobia about rural America. For a real horror story check out Milwaukee's homicide rate and avoid stories about a killer ghost in a blizzard.… Full Review »
