Wind Chill
During Christmas break, a young woman catches a ride home from a stranger she meets through a college ride board. Racing to beat a severe winter storm, the two young travelers take a shortcut down a remote country road, only to find them selves forced into a snow bank by a mysterious vehicle that engages them in a dangerous game of chicken. Over the long night that ensues, an intense relationship develops between the pair as they must brave the elements and confront the road's sinister legacy that dates back to the terrible events that occurred there in the 1950s.

Imagine a campfire story told by Jack London after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels. The chilly atmosphere would be in full force but the plotting might be a bit punch drunk.

At the very least, it's an old-fashioned ghost story with half a brain -- and that's got to be worth more than a casual glance.

A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.

The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.

...a refreshingly adult horror effort that boasts a pair of phenomenal lead performances.

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

Almost always, you can expect the worst when a studio dumps a film without advance screenings. But the well-crafted thriller Wind Chill, with rising star Emily Blunt, is the very rare case where somebody (in this case, Sony) goofed.

After a great set-up, we're left stranded by the side of the road, wishing the filmmakers had come up with a conclusion at least somewhere close to as good.

Wind Chill blows into increasingly nightmarish and ludicrous territory, introducing frostbitten ghouls, priestly apparitions, a nasty cop, and a cycle of hallucinations.

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.

Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.

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