Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
cmovies-99674 PROS: This movie is so bad and awful and terrible that it is hard to find a pro. What I can say however, is that the acting in the movie was good. I love EMILY BLUNT, so I'm kinda bias. In the film, she is amazing.CONS: In the film, there is no real plot or problem to be solved, which makes it extremely hard to have a good build up of tension. I have only ever seen one a movie with a bad build up and yet pulled off a good conclusion and thats Exam. This movie couldn't pull that off. Movies overall have a hard time with that, granted. But with this film in particular, there was a really difficult time at establishing a plot with any consistency. It is just so all over the place which really made it hard for anything good to come out of the acting. To dive deeper into to the film is to get more confused, which sucks because you really want to have a topical and a deeper meaning to any sci-fi horror. This film just didn't have that. Ill summarize it for you. You have a girl and a guy stranded on a back road in winter, with a bunch of spectral happenings everywhere that make no sense and are irrelevant. You also have no intensity or paranoia, nor are you gifted with an ending that matters, no. You just get garbage.www.chorror.com
Ide Clair I have always loved this movie. Emily Blunt breathes life into what could have been something really goofy. I am bothered by one glaring discrepancy, though. The gas station is on the opposite side of the highway from where they turn off to their shortcut. Yet, at the end of the movie, Emily comes out of the woods on the highway side of the gas station. I know she didn't cross the highway to get there.
DogFilmCritic Wind Chill is the story of two college students(their names are never mentioned in the movie, i don't know if this was intensional or not, its a bit clever you always find out in the end credits ) driving home for Christmas break who become stranded on a road off the highway after getting into a wreck. Trapped in the car to escape the desperate cold.The leads in this movie are played by Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes,who is in a bunch of stuff but no one remembers him,both do a pretty decent acting i describe it as above average,but the problem of the film is not his performance but the plot it centers around, the theory of eternal return: is a concept that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. Basically 'Time is a Flat Circle',the film tries to use this theory but does not execute properly, if fact it makes it more confusing.As they are trapped they son begin to experience ghostly/zombie encounters, again is not well explained or executed, and some how they are mildly scared of whats going on.It could have been a lot more interesting but it's too slow and dull for most of the movie and when the scary stuff finally does show up, it's not well executed, you leave wondering what the director was aiming for as you just get confused.
utgard14 A college student (Emily Blunt) trying to get home for the holidays catches a ride with another student (Ashton Holmes). She becomes suspicious of him when several things he says don't add up and thinks he might be a stalker or serial killer or something. Then the two become stranded on a deserted stretch of road in the snow. Surviving each other and the elements is bad enough but they have to contend with ghosts as well.A surprisingly well-done little ghost story starts out strong building suspense and misdirecting the audience that this might be some kind of slasher thriller where the guy chases after the girl he's obsessed with. But once it becomes clear that's not the type of movie it's going to be, it becomes more interesting and then quickly less interesting as the last half-hour or so is rife with clichés. Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes both do well playing flawed but believable characters. She's a bitch and he's a weirdo so you really aren't sure for awhile who you're supposed to root for, if anybody. It's a good movie though and definitely worth checking out if you're interested in ghost stories.
