The extreme cold is a very important element in the construction of some Suspense and Horror narratives. It contributes to increasing the tension that usually surrounds the characters. The feeling of weakness in the face of nature, the risk of hypothermia, the need for a shelter or source of heat to keep us warm and the hunger that increases. With what was mentioned above, it is easy to remember some classic productions. In The Enigma of Another World (1982), scientists face the cold of Antarctica and have to deal with an unknown creature that takes the form of their victims. In The Shining (1980), Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) needs to stay with his family in a hotel full of secrets during a harsh winter. David (Allen Leech) ends up crashing his car into a ravine and, surrounded by snow, is unable to get out of there. As the snowfall increases, the situation worsens and the man is forced to wait for the weather to improve. However, he is not alone. You will have to face this situation with another person. At this point, we get to know the personalities and characteristics of the characters better. Another feature of the film is creating a plot that can be sustained in a confined space. The interior of the vehicle will be the stage for two people in a gradual state of fear, distress and search for survival. Whether through dialogue waging psychological warfare, or through desperate measures to find an escape, time is running out and solutions are difficult to come by. And in this environment, everything fits together as a resource to survive. Knife, car heater, numbing liquid, duct tape. As time progresses and the chances of survival decrease, the two characters fight a battle that reveals more details about each person's personality. Scenes alternating between reality or even representing an illusory/dreamlike moment make us more aware of the true motives and nature of the characters. As if all the dangers of the extreme cold and the struggle between both characters were not enough, a strange creature starts to haunt the car. If the viewer paid attention to the narration at the beginning of the film, they will better understand the meaning of such a creature. Of course, certain moments in the film receive a metaphorical meaning, but it is up to the viewer to better understand where the metaphors fit. As one of the characters in the film said: 'the blizzard is still one of the things you should least worry about if you manage to get out of here'. Watch it on a very cold day, preferably.

This lean 90min two person trapped in a car set up is well acted by the two leads, has an unexpected twist at the end of the first act and is well designed, despite its low budget,in the unforgiving, harsh snowstorm outside the car. Some will find it needlessly talky throughtout it's, short, run time about the psychology of what drives 'David' to do what he does ,I however, found this interesting and added adds character and depth to this troubled mind. Only the last five minutes let the film down with the appearance of a possible spirit in the forest/Wending that haunts the nightmares of David suddenly becoming'real' , this isn't a monster movie made real but more the'monsters' within us that drive us. It felt cheap and tacked on!

Basically that's it... What a fantastic, totally suspenseful, and extremely well executed idea. As my title suggests, THIS is what can be done with very little and just some intelligent writing, smart direction, and outstanding acting. Not giving anything away, but the core of the story is so good that quite honestly even without the tangential Supernatural aspect, it STILL would have been a great film. But, it does add a nice touch to the way things work out. I haven't seen a movie done this well with pretty much only two characters and one VERY limited location that was so damn suspenseful and effective. That is a testament to the skill involved in putting together and pulling off something that is this powerful. YES, it is overall fairly simple, YES there is not a lot of 'Action' and stuff that many people need to keep their attention. BUT... what there is in my lowly and wretched opinion is an excellent demonstration of what can be done with a LOT of talent and not much else. This kind of quality I feel is quite rare these days. I must also again stress how bloody GREAT the acting is. Particularly the fellow, but both do their job very well indeed. The expressiveness of the guy's eyes is just amazing. The way he conveys so many different moods and attitudes, just with his eyes, and in a VERY believable and effective way. This movie is definitely better than the tepid 5.x rating is has now, oh yes... This kind of quality, whether you like this kind of story or not, is clearly evident. That is why I rated this film a strong and well deserved '8' If you like movies with a simple setting, but with good, strong suspense, and you don't mind your Horror strongly character driven, you should indeed really appreciate this story as much as I did.
