Heres our review…
Ill say from the off, I rather enjoyed this film.
Its a no-frills fright fest on ice, with bad weather and fearsome wildlife on stand-by.
Its a first for the girl, while the two lifelong friends are more experienced.
The best friend objects to the girlfriend being there.
He feels she is encroaching on his territory, in what should be a boys holiday.
No special effects mean that the trio really were perched on the ski lift for hours.
The tension could have built up some more before one early development kicks in.
(You will know what I mean when you see it.)
They are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstance.
Their recriminations are brief.
This is no existential thriller.
There are inevitable echoes ofOpen Water, as they start blaming each other and nature gets dangerously closer.
Yes, really!).
This provides the core for the tense build-up.

3 out of 5
