Review

Wind Chill opens with an effective and psychologically chilling intro with fine acting from Blunt and Holmes portraying seemingly standard characters that reveal some interesting depth. Unfortunately, when the film succumbs to the horror conventions, it has little fresh or interesting to offer, let alone scaring. The filmmakers try their best to drag the feeble material out to ninety minutes, with help from Martin Donovan impersonating Clancy Brown, but you will have lost interest long before that.
