Frozen - the stranded on chairlift movie

[Rambo]

I had been looking around the net for some time trying to find, Frozen the movie about the 3 people stranded on a triple chairlift. I do not recall the movie ever playing in my area.

I did about a month ago find a version but it locked up and had no audio.

I just found one that plays well but the catch is that it is dubed over in Russian.

I watched the first 15 minutes then scrolled forward to see what happened. Not very impressed with this movie.

Oh well if anyone wants to check it just click on this:

someone was definitely scraping bottom for ideas when they hit that one. I wonder how much $ it grossed. Maybe $150? :dunce:

 

[powpig2002]

would have made more $$$ with some boobs. $175.00 ?

$200,000 of which likely came from males hopefull that this ski flick would have many token nudie shots in the great tradition of Hot Dog: The Movie. The remaining 46k from all the immediate family members of the *cough*stars*cough* of the movie.

Latest gross is $2.7million. Did any of you watch this since? I think someone mentioned it in the Netflix thread. Just finished. You could tell it was low budget but I found it interesting. It may be the fact that I'm starting to get involved with student film-making so I paid attention to things I normally wouldn't have, but there were some good touches to the film. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be trapped on a chairlift knowing the area is closed for the next 5 days either. Yeah, it wasn't a great cinematic experience, but it wasn't a waste of time--IMHO. Brian disagrees, but that's okay.

Not particularly impressed with the movie...

 

[billski]

Which begs the question, what's the worst ski-board movie you've ever seen?

Icebreaker

Icebreaker was bad, but not nearly as bad as Ice Spiders.

Frozen was a really bad movie, but it had a couple decent scenes. Winter stoke is winter stoke, but how it made it to some theaters while Deep Winter went straight to DVD, is amazing.

I spent a buck renting it at Red Box last week, which is about what it's worth. It's draggy, like it's 40 minutes of material stretched into 90 minutes.

A few things grated on me as I watched it....

It's supposed to be in Massachusettes, but all the trees are western pines and the mountains are all rocky craggy (Shot in Utah)

When they stop the lift and strand our intrepid heroes, the lifty pulls back this giant amusment park clutch type lever like you have NEVER seen on a chairlift.

They don't sweep the mountain, let alone tell the liftie on the top there are 3 more coming up.

When the 2nd guy decided to try to escape by hand over hand on the lift cable, the "Sharp cable cuts his hands through the gloves" Uh, sharp cable????

And the best error was when he tries the second time and makes it to the lift tower (sorry if I'm spoiling a very slight part of the film) they have him hand over hand into a tower where the lift cable goes under the sheaves... many sheaves.... like you would have at the lower terminal. So they filmed this harrowing feat all of 3 feet off the ground. Then the camera switches to a real mid line lift tower with the cable going over the top of the sheaves for him to climb down the ladder.

Some of you might be saying "How can you even notice this while watching the movie?", and normally you'd be right. Sort of tells you how riveting the script was.

Several other lame errors, but I don't want to ruin it for someone who hasn't watched it yet so at least you get your dollars worth.

Oh, and apparently in Mass the going rate for 3 people to scam a day skiing by paying the liftie to look the other way is $100.

Funny thing is is that Ebert or Roper gave it a positive review and rotten tomatoes had a 60% positive review. Oh and it was nominated for a saturn award for best horror flick in 2009.

As mentioned earlier it made about 2.7 million, only 300,000 of it was domestic.

It always cracks me up when things are set on the east coast, while the footage is clearly shot in California or out west. For TV shows King of Queens and Criminal Minds does this a lot........you know cuz Vermont has tons of 10,000 ft above tree line peaks.

I tired to rent this the other day but it was out.....looks like that was a good thing.

The movie sucks really really bad, why they gave the liftie $100 and then could afford to eat in the base lodge instead of buying tickets doesn't make sense, along with everything else that happens, if you have some spare time that you want to waste watch it but basically most of the movie they are sitting on the lift talking about stupid stuff.

 

[Nick]

It's like the skiing version of that movie Open Water. It could have gone 10x as fast.

It's boring to just watch someone sitting in a lift for 2 hours.

 

[Stache]

All I can say is that now every time the lift stops,

OMG. It is on Starz right now. This is way worse then Speed 2.
