Halloween is a good time for a campfire story. But when you cannot get on the water or sit around a fire with friends, a film can do the job. In October 2010 I found one that frightened me without a monster, a ghost, or a villain.
Frozen (2010): When the mountain becomes the threat
Three friends go skiing and are stranded high above the ground on a chairlift after the resort closes. The cold, darkness, exposure, and distance from help do the frightening work. No supernatural explanation is needed.
When you cannot go kayaking because the water is frozen, go skiing with two of your closest friends. That was my joke when I first wrote about this film. The premise is simple, but the decisions are not. As with a wilderness trip, the question is not just whether you have the equipment. It is whether anyone knows you are still out there.
The ending we still disagree about
Is there a happy ending? My wife and I say no. Sean says it “sort of has a positive ending.” I will let you decide. That disagreement is one reason the movie has stayed on our list.
