Introduction to Breaking Rules - Frozen - A YouTube Movie Review by Ms. H

This movie is not the Disney Frozen movie you may be familiar with.  Even though the movies have the same title, this Frozen film is definitely not a Disney movie.  If you decide to watch this movie, you will probably be able to point out all the mistakes that this group made which left them in a dire predicament. That being said, even if you want to watch this movie just to wile away some time, this may be the film to check out. By the way, Frozen is rated R and should not be watched by anyone under 17 years of age without parents or guardians. 

Synopsis of Frozen YouTube Movie

The Frozen movie reminded me of the film, A Cabin in the Woods, where the story begins with a certain number of people; however, since this is a horror movie, the number of people will slowly decrease.  The biggest difference is this catastrophic event of being stranded -- happened at a ski resort in icy, freezing weather and snowy terrains.

 To make a long story short, a group of three people bribed the ski resort worker to let them go on a late night  ski lift ride.  Unfortunately, there was a mix-up and they were left suspended high up on the ski lift -- long after the resort closed.  Additionally, to add insult to injury, the ski resort was not due to open back up for at least 5 more days. This movie chronicles what happened to the once bubbly, energetic group when the change of events occurred.

Jump Scares in the Frozen YouTube Movie

As with any horror movie -- and I would describe this as a horror movie -- there are a few jump scares.   Unexpected sudden occurrences and the way they were directed, will probably cause you to jump in your seat, if not twice, at least once.

Little Known Fact: Someone commented on the movie that this [tragedy] will not happen to them because they do not ski -- however, I believe there are safety lessons learned here that go far beyond being stranded on a ski lift.

Unrealism of the Frozen YouTube Movie

There were several  unrealistic events in the Frozen movie. The major one was the absence of anyone having their cell phone which in today’s world is a required necessity. I think you will agree with me that if only one of the members of the group had brought their cell phone along, they could have called for help, instead of being stranded in dangerous freezing weather. There are many other unrealistic moments, but rather than spoil the movie, I’m sure you can point them out if you watch the film.

Inconsistencies in the Frozen Movie

There are a few gaffes in the Frozen movie such as the appearance and disappearance of frostbite on one of the character’s faces.  However, the biggest one in my opinion has to do with the wolves' attacks.  Yes, there are wolves attacks in this movie, so gruesome for the victim that I had to turn my head away from the screen. 

 For instance,  I don’t think wolves would be looking up to locate their prey, unless the group was noisy -- which they were not and two, why would they ignore the female character when these vicious wolves were a short distance away from her?  Here I think the director took “movie license” and made a decision as to who would survive -- again similar to the movie, A Cabin in the Woods.

Assessment of the Frozen Movie

I think there is value in watching this movie as lessons learned to remind you what not to do if you should ever go to a ski lodge or for that matter any other places or gatherings.  I also think it will reinforce how important it is that you have your cell phone with you at all times, and last but not least, always let someone know where you are travelling to if you can.  Of course there are many more, but these stood out for me after I watched the movie Frozen.

Rating of the Frozen Movie

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Frozen Movie 3 stars.
