“Delivers Maximum Fright” ~ New York Times
“Frozen will do for skiing what Jaws did for swimming” ~ Bloody-Disgusting
“Prepare to be electrified…a brilliantly-conceived, gut-wrenching horror film.” ~ New York Observer
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – For millions of people all over the world, winter time means skiing, snowboarding and frolicking in the snow. But what happens when the sun sets, and the blinding white suddenly becomes an enveloping – and potentially lethal – darkness? Written and directed by Adam Green (Hatchet, Spiral and the upcoming Hatchet 2), Frozen terrified audiences during its theatrical release last February, receiving some of the best reviews of any theatrical film released so far this year. We may be in the heat of summer, but get ready to thrill and “chill” all over again with Anchor Bay Entertainment’s September 28th release of the intense suspense thriller on DVD and Blu-ray™ (pre-book September 1st). SRP is a cool $29.97 for the DVD, and $34.99 for the Blu-ray™.
Starring Kevin Zegers (Dawn of the Dead remake, Wrong Turn), X-Men’s Shawn Ashmore and Emma Bell (Gracie), Frozen charts the nightmare of three snowboarders when they get stranded on a ski chairlift taking them to the last run of the day. When the ski patrol switches off the night lights, the threesome realize with growing panic and dread that they’ve been left behind, dangling high off the ground with no way down.
With the resort closed until the following weekend, and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. Once they make their move, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. As they combat the unrelenting forces of nature and other unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die.
Already a favorite among genre fans for Hatchet, his 2007 blood-soaked homage to 1980’s slasher films, writer/director Green wowed mainstream audiences and critics with Frozen. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called Frozen “an entertaining, suspense-filled, sometimes wonderfully grotesque little scarefest,” while Scott Mantz of Access Hollywood declared the film “A gripping, intense and inventive horror thriller.” Harry Knowles from Ain’t It Cool News called Frozen “scary and intense,” and DreadCentral labeled the film “A triumph! Relentless and harrowing!”
The standard definition DVD release of Frozen includes a feature-length audio commentary with the stars and filmmakers, four insightful behind-the-scenes featurettes, the theatrical trailer and deleted scenes. The Blu-ray™ adds all the DVD bonus features, plus an additional format-exclusive audio commentary with writer/director Adam Green, cinematographer Will Barratt and editor Ed Marx.
