While the jumpy editing and not quite shaky-cam but certainly wobbly and lurching camera is disorientating, this actually really helps the feel of the movie. Even when it pops into a more claustrophobic but more generic standard film format in the third act, Frost still looks and feels great, reminding me of the original Cold Prey/Fritt Vilt and it’s slick, stylish snow-covered fear. The Icelandic scenery becomes a character in it’s own right, almost a villain in itself.
The film feels legitimately cold, the isolation is tangible and the sheer unnerving repetition of the ice, snow and the darkness of the cave systems is perfectly captured.
URBAN REIGN PS2 DISC REPLAY MOVIE
While the movie has it’s flaws, primarily an at times supremely frustrating vagueness that I feel a little like the writer mistook for mystery, it has a great deal going for it.ĭespite being a found footage movie, Frost looks, sounds and feels fantastic. However for those who are into the found footage end of the horror scene, Frost presents an interesting and different take to your usual ‘lost in the woods chased by hillbillies/ended up locked in a building some nasty biz went down in’ fodder that you will most likely enjoy a lot. On the one hand, if you’re sick of, or indeed never really enjoyed found footage horror in the first place, then Frost will probably leave you cold (I’m not intentionally cracking terrible weather related puns, they just happen. The movie is mostly presented in a found footage format with a final act switch to traditional directed film. In the weeks since I watched it, it’s struck me that this is probably the best way to watch the film. If you’ll pardon the pun, I watched Frost absolutely cold. I swear to God, I am never coming skiing with you again.
