I typically like the trapped out in the cold genre but this one is done quite poorly and cheaply. I don't doubt this was a thrilling based on true events tale to tell in real life, but this re-enactment does not do a screen version justice. It is slow, mundane, and poorly acted. The dialogue is iffy, there is no thrill, and it is long and drawn out for no reason other than to burn an hour and twenty minutes. I recommend watching Frozen (2010) over this, or even the low budget The Frozen (2012). Even Disney's Frozen is more thrilling (the abom snowman scene). Another lesser known great is Backcountry (2014) and then of course there is the mega hit The Revenant (2015) if you want to see big budget "inspired by true events". Skip this one, as it has nothing to offer.

I picked up the 2022 thriller "Frost" based on the movie's cover. It was a semi-interesting cover, and with it being a movie that I had never seen, nor even heard about, of course I opted to watch it.
Writers James Cullen Bressack and Robert Thompson put together a relatively straight forward script. However, the contents of the storyline was just too thin to properly sustain 80 minutes of movie. And that made watching "Frost" a somewhat boring and disappointing experience. Especially since the movie had a very monotonous narrative, and it was so predictable that you knew what happened long before it did.
"Frost" has a very small cast ensemble, and the movie suffered from that. Not only because the acting performances was questionable, but also because the performers virtually had very little to work with in terms of script, storyline, dialogue and character gallery. I was only familiar with Vernon Wells on the cast list, and he isn't exactly my go-to actor for entertainment.
Director Brandon Slagle delivered a movie that was watchable, but hardly a movie that made a lasting impression. And come tomorrow, I am sure that the memory of "Frost" will be swallowed up by the mists of oblivion. "Frost" is not a movie that I would recommend you to rush out and get to watch. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as it hardly could sustain the first viewing.
The ending of the movie was just a slap to the face with a cold dead fish, especially after having withstood 80 minutes of the slow paced, dull narrative.
My rating of "Frost" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This movie would've been better if it never happened! The script consisted of random grunts. Too bad the wolves didn't eat the girl. Would've been a good dinner for them. The dad was a total moron too, he was good for nothin! Poor acting and poor effects, I'd rather watch my grandma sit on a rocking chair. These characters deserved what they got. What a brutal brutal movie, I hope the team that created this monstrosity never produce another film again for the sake of everyone's sanity and on earth and in the universe. This movie must be burnt in the fires of hell and never played again! Awful!

This movie was utterly ridiculous! This movie makes the movie Beast look like an academy award winner. I wish they ran me over so I did not have to watch this. I want my 2hrs back. My brother in law must hate me....he highly recommended it! Thanks Joel for wasting my time. How do movies like this get written? At some.point someone has.to say....this thing is no good and throw in the towel but I guess not! The charactersin this got what they deserved for wasting my time...
I GOT OLDER by two hours. The end....what a surprise....it took a left turn for no reason. Hope to God there is no sequel. Do not for the love of God watch this.
I'm not exactly sure what happened to get this chick trapped to where she could become'Froze', as the movie was on in the background Bc my roommate was watching it. I have never made an Imbd review before today. I just had to come here and urge people to steer clear of this disturbing movie. There's one scene that is just gruesome and disturbing. GRUESOME AND DISTURBING it was bad enough that it was happening it just kept on and one, the scene just wouldn't end. I know some of you are thinking, ohh it can't be that bad, or I can watch anything. I'm here to say, you don't want to watch this movie! The horrible dialogue or lack there of, a majority of the dialogue was from a female moaning, whining, weeping, crying, and screaming and if that's not bad enough. It was extremely slow and boring. Do Not go watch this movie Bc of the poor taste scene that I mentioned. It is kinda like Two Girls One Cup how you can never unsee that and how it should never even happened in the first place. Well the scene was like that, I wish Bc had never seen it. Like I said I only caught probably a majority of the movie, but that's what I got out of it. I didn't finish the movie Bc I stopped watching after the extreme poor taste disturbing scene. I absolutely would only recommend this to my worst enemy. Please for your own memories do not watch this movie. You can however suggest it to your worst enemy or suggest it to your mother in law on April Fool's Day.... If you want to be divorced by May 1st. For your own good, just say no, go do drugs instead.

And we wonder why America is in the state it's in. Answer? Because her citizens are sick enough to imagine such disgusting perversity as this movie. I went in blind, just thinking I'd watch a survival flick where all turns out fine, daughter and dad rekindle a broken relationship, and a timely rescue underscores the indomitable human spirit. Instead I got half promises about the above listed details and then ripped off with content that seems to have come from some junior high school kid's sick depraved and twisted mind. There is a sickness in America and her art shows it. How dare the filmmakers create this gross movie. How dare they. Shame on your sick evil minds.

Please do NOT watch this. For the sake of your own sanity. This movie was a waste of my time and I literally didn't even watch it fully. It was so a$$, and the ending was also garbage asf. There's one scene that actually made me nauseous, it was so unnecessary and disturbing. Literally put me in a derealization episode and now I don't feel real😭😭The ending also wasn't even rewarding. It was anticlimactic as he// and depressing, disturbing. I'd rather sit and stare at my wall for 2 hours than watch this movie again, especially that one scene. Please just don't watch this movie unless you want to suffer or something. Just go read a book instead or frolic around in a meadow. Trust me, it will be so much better for your mental state!!💀

I've seen a lot of poor films and this one is ok. The acting isn't great but the story kept me interested, there are plenty of times when you say, wtf is going on and why wouldn't you try this?. But in the end it's a movie and on a cheap budget. There are parts that I was shocked at and parts that are pretty brutal, this is one of those films that could have been so good, but it did fall short.
The acting in some parts is a let it down and some of their survival strategies are not on point, the story could have had a lot more to it. Overall I give it a 5/10 as I still enjoy watching survival thriller even if it's a little rough.
