Frozen (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Writer/director Adam Green has made quite a name for himself among the genre in a mere handful of years. Debuting with the gory throwback slasher Hatchet, then the mind-bending thriller Spiral a year later. He has returned once again with the psychological survival pic Frozen, a film that I wasn't quite sure what to expect from going in. Surprisingly, the movie turned out to be quite a treat, despite the fact that it simply follows three characters and primarily takes place on a ski lift.

Funeral Home (1980)

REVIEWER RATING: 
4/10


This is the second film I've seen from director William Fruet, the first being the oddly-titled Blue Monkey, which I enjoyed to an extent. From the premise of this movie I expected a slasher, but instead, got some misplaced slow-paced mystery thriller. There's one killing about half way, then a few more towards the end to speed things up. The story revolves around a funeral home-turned bed and breakfast, where we follow a young woman who moves into the place to help her grandmother maintain things, but shortly after settling in guests start to either disappear or turn up dead. Who could be the killer? The fat old lady who whispers to herself late at night? Or maybe the mysterious caretaker with a seemingly dark agenda? Meh, who cares? I know I didn't.

As I said before, the film is pretty slow paced, and things didn't actually pick up until about an hour into it, when the killer starts getting desperate after people start poking around for answers about a few disappearances. The person doing most of that poking is a young officer who believes there's more to the story than what meets the surface, but his superiors seem to think otherwise. Either way, the bodies start piling up as more of the truth is revealed. This is one of those films where the most likely suspect ends up actually being the killer, no matter how ridiculous it may seem.
