Director: Adam Green
Year: 2010
Country: USA

I was not a fan of Hatchet, Adam Green’s debut horror film. While being touted as a return to old-school American horror, it managed to do nothing to distinguish itself from other contemporary slasher flicks. The characters were contrived, the plot cliche and the gore unimpressive. My experience with Green’s first horror film notwithstanding, I was excited for his next horror film, the “stuck on a ski lift” thriller Frozen. My interest in the film grew as many lauded the film’s ability to invoke levels of tension unheard of in contemporary horror, and while I still had the dreadful Hatchet burned in the back of my head, I kept an open mind and went in expecting a solid thriller. Sadly, the hype got the best of me, and Frozen proved to be obscenely mediocre.
