1. Sustains interest and tension with some inventive plotting and gratuitous misfortune, aided by a cast convincingly scared witless, even if their characters left me, well, rather cold.
2. Armed with an appealingly pared-down premise, Frozen effectively establishes itself as one of the best horror films of its kind to come around since Open Water.
3. Impressively directed and genuinely suspenseful, this is a hugely entertaining thriller with a superb script and terrific performances from its three leads.
4. This minimalist thriller offers the same endurance-test nightmare as Open Water, only here the imperilled characters are marooned on a mountain, and wolves substitute for the sharks.
5. While making the occasional narrative misstep, this is effective low-budget filmmaking, and undoubtedly a notch better than what usually passes as suspense these days.
6. The movie has a good flow, and it understands how to generate thrills, but the characters, situation and dialogue are stretched a bit thin.
7. Green orchestrates all this with some skill but not too much gore. A minor tour de force.
8. However much fun it is to watch, it's a lot more fun to pull it apart afterwards.
9. Fiendish, sweaty and tense as hell. One to watch through the fingers.
10. With believable characters, a real sense of terror and that terrific whatwould-you-do? plot, Frozen works on every level. A proper chiller.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
Writer/director Adam Green has the beginnings of an inventive, frightening yarn in Frozen, but neither the script nor the cast are quite strong enough to truly do it justice.
1. Uppehåller intresse och spänning med några uppfinningsrika intrigerande och gratiösa olycka, med hjälp av en kast övertygande rädd kvickhet, även om deras karaktärer lämnade mig, ja, ganska kall. 2. Beväpnad med en tilltalande pared-down premiss, Frozen etablerar sig effektivt som en av de bästa skräckfilmer i sitt slag att komma runt sedan Open Water. 3. Imponerande regisserad och verkligt spännande, detta är en enormt underhållande thriller med ett utmärkt manus och fantastiska föreställningar från sina tre leder. 4. Denna minimalistiska thriller erbjuder samma uthållighet-test mardröm som Open Water, bara här de imperilled karaktärer är strandsatta på ett berg, och vargar ersätter hajarna. 5. Samtidigt som man gör den enstaka berättelsen felsteg, är detta effektiv lågbudget filmskapande, och utan tvekan en skåra bättre än vad som brukar gå som spänning nuförtiden. 6. Filmen har ett bra flöde, och den förstår hur man genererar spänning, men karaktärerna, situationen och dialogen är lite tunna. 7. Green orkestrerar allt detta med viss skicklighet men inte för mycket gore. En mindre turné de force. 8. Hur roligt det än är att titta på, är det mycket roligare att dra isär den efteråt. 9. Fiendiskt, svettigt och spänt som fan. En som tittar genom fingrarna. 10. Med trovärdiga karaktärer, en verklig känsla av terror och det fantastiska vad skulle-du-göra? Tomt, Frozen fungerar på alla nivåer. En riktig kylare. Vad är kritikerkonsensus utifrån dessa individuella recensioner?

Författaren/regissören Adam Green har början till ett uppfinningsrikt, skrämmande garn i Frozen, men varken manuset eller rollbesättningen är tillräckligt starka för att verkligen göra det rättvisa.
