7 truly creepy winter movies

"Frozen"

Thriller | 3.53 out of 5 MyShows | 2010

Three friends — two snowboarders and a skier — set out to conquer the snowy peaks, not even realizing that their evening would turn into a deadly ordeal. After getting stuck on a ski elevator, they find themselves at an enormous altitude, surrounded only by icy winds and bitter cold. Fun is replaced by fear when it becomes clear: help is not coming. The resort is closed for several days, and every minute of waiting brings them closer to death. There is only one thing left for them to do — to save themselves. But to survive, you need to overcome not only the elements, but also your own fear of the abyss, which swallows them deeper with each terrible night.

"The movie is scary not so much because of the horror, but because of the oppressive setting and hopelessness. The little stabbing details only add to the goosebumps, like a frozen hand or the inability to go to the bathroom. It's also scary because it's a completely realistic situation. Pity the heroes successfully, and the cast picked such a quality. I like it, watched it a couple times", — Aniana

"Surprisingly not a bad movie. Pretty well framed exactly how the characters are stuck there. The main characters act more or less reasonably, except for some minor details. And they're pretty well spelled out. The acting isn't perfect, but it could be worse. You can see that the budget was not very big, but it's nice to watch. All in all, it's not a bad simple and short movie", — dudes

"I liked the movie, banal and understandable plot, but here is the moral that he carries, will not learn many people", — id277378709

A group of dancers gather for a three-day rehearsal at an isolated school in the middle of the woods. It all starts innocently: music, dancing, glasses of wine.

Some experience the euphoria of dissolving into movement, while others sink into the abyss of their own demons. The boundaries between reality and hallucination blur, turning the night dance into climax for some and a nightmare for others.

"We went to see this movie the day it premiered at the movies (oh so 2018), and as my friend said "So gross you can't take your eyes off the screen". Loved the dancing, I even subscribed to some of the actors on banned social media afterwards, inspired me to do voguing, and also really liked the idea of it. Above commenter thinks that those who do not know about the harm of drugs, live in a vacuum, and in fact in St. Petersburg the same acids on every corner, so I would like to remind young people about how things can turn out. Visual, music - 10, plot component 8 (but only because it is realistically unpleasant), I think such a film should be watched in the theater and no other way", — HoldenWisdom

"Now enters the top of my favorite movies. Beautiful music and dancing, long shots and transitions, I love it! The scariest monsters are humans, in this case also under LSD:)", — Juullietta

"It's been a few weeks now from watching this movie and I'm still remembering and digesting it. It's a wonderful aftertaste! Definitely going to revisit it again. Filmed - 10 points, plot - 10, aftertaste - 1", — amilenova
