Frozen (2010)

Introduction
"Frozen", not to be puzzled with Disney's animated musical of the same name, is a 2010 American survival scary film written and directed by Adam Green. It provides an exhilarating tale of 3 skiers who end up being stranded on a chairlift, resulting in a desperate fight for survival against the cold and other chilling threats.

Plot Overview
The film follows the story of three college students-- Parker O'Neil, played by Emma Bell; her boyfriend Dan Walker, represented by Kevin Zegers; and their buddy Joe Lynch, brought to life by Shawn Ashmore. Seeking an adventurous weekend away, the trio decides to go on a skiing journey at a New England ski resort. Their fun takes an ominous turn when they pay off a ski lift operator to let them suit one last run before the resort closes.

As they ascend on the ski lift, in a rush to close the resort due to an approaching winter season storm, a miscommunication takes place amongst the lift operators. The personnel wrongly thinks that the trio has already boiled down, and they shut down the lifts, leaving Parker, Dan, and Joe suspended in the air on the ski lift, high in the air.

Survival Struggle
The group first faces rejection, followed by panic as they realize they have actually been forgotten and the resort will not reopen for five days. The film masterfully intensifies stress as the characters come to grips with the instant dangers of hypothermia and frostbite in the freezing temperatures.

As night falls, the gravity of their situation sets in with the bitter cold and howling winds. Dan, in an act of desperation, chooses to jump off the lift, resulting in a bone-shattering fall that leaves him seriously hurt and stable in the snow listed below. When wolves are brought in to the blood from Dan's injuries, the situation ends up being significantly perilous.

Parker and Joe, still suspended above, must make life-and-death decisions. Joe tries to scale the lift cable to reach a support tower, overcoming enormous pain as the cable tears his hands. His effort ends in tragedy as he too succumbs to injuries and the event wolves.

The Climax
With Dan and Joe out of the photo, Parker ends up being the focus of the survival story. As her situation grows dire, she collects her nerve to leave the lift by herself. She ingenely uses a snowboard to move down the mountain, evading the wolves that had earlier claimed her pals. Showing decision and strength, Parker continues through the night, fighting fatigue and frostbite.

The Resolution
In the end, as Parker struggles against the cold and worry, she manages to make it back to the main roadway. The movie concludes as she is discovered by a passing driver who stops to help her, her relief palpable as she realizes she will endure the painful experience.
