Dec 22 2009'Frozen' Trailer: Time To Get Scared of Ski Lifts!

first

can't wait for the sequel: "Escalator!" Tag line: "It'll mall you."

so the whole movie is gonna be staring at these three people on a ski lift slowly dying ... for a whole hour and a half? sounds exciting!

So... Basically this film is going to be Open Water but with people stuck in a ski lift instead of the titular open water and with sharks replaced by wolves?

I've seen some retarded stuff in my life, but this is easily the most retarded. Having actually been stuck on a chairlift several times, and worked at ski areas before, I can attest that the makers of this film have probably never been on a chairlift... or been skiing... or seen snow. Errors: 1) Ski patrol is always the last group on a lift so that they can be sure to be the last ones off and there is no way to get on the lift after them; 2) Ski patrol always comes down the lift line after the lift stops to be sure that the safeguard of #1 has worked; 3) When you climb off of a chairlift, you throw a leg over the cable to support your weight; 4) Hollywood thinks people are idiots; 5) Did I already say that the "film" makers have probably never seen snow before?

PWB beat me to it. The entire premise of this movie is complete bullshit. At least "Open Water" was plausible and based on a true story. A ski resort, closed on the weekend? That's like closing McDonalds between 7-9am and 4-7pm, breakfast and dinner rush hours, respectively.

is it really not possible for one person to climb down another persons legs until they are closer to the ground and then just drop down the rest of the way? sure you may break an ankle, but at least you could slide down the slope to get help.

there, end of movie. solved.

The entire concept is ridiculous. It's easier to get stuck at the peak of a damn rollercoaster.

Actually this is a true story based on me.

I managed to escape by building a ladder from snowflakes and simply climbing down.

Sorry to ruin the ending for you but I'm so proud of myself.

Is this movie set in 1986? NONE of the three have a cell phone? And don't give me crap about skiing with a cell phone... people do it all the time.

Yeah... this entire movie premise fails hard. Aside from all the point made above me, there's a couple mind-numbingly retarded decisions made in the movie.

1 - Why the fuck did she take her gloves off and grip the COLD METAL BAR tight? They could probably survive by just hugging each other close enough and fucking group jacket'ing it up. Taking OFF clothes makes absolutely no sense. Furthermore, how the fuck does BARE skin get "stuck" to a pole? You need moisture of some sort. Either she pissed on her hands just before gripping the bar or she licked the shit out of them - either way, retarded.

2 - Why is that guy trying to be tarzan at the end, swinging by his hands? Move those legs up there to get a grip and you'll have no problem making it the whole way down with absolutely no issue. Seriously.

3 - How the fuck allowed this to be made, and why did NONE of the actors mention it was fucking retarded halfway through?

Oh Jesus, so now we know one dude jumps off, then wolves come and eat him. The second dude tries to climb along the rope and probably makes it then something happens anyway, the girl is then left to somehow survive a situation which would never happen anyway.

What sorta Ski-Lodge closes Sunday-Friday? That's a weird break from business.

Also, more importantly, why don't they CHECK the things? Surely you'd move them around one last time for cleaning or whatever.

She actually says:
"It's Sunday and they're not open again till Friday". So they're not closed at the weekend.
This should be made into an advert for a cell company. Buy our phones or you'll die!

It's really a simple matter of hopping up to the wire, holding tight, tucking your legs up and over, and then sloth crawling to one of the support towers and climbing down. but then again, I went to a circus camp for six years, soo...

In this day and age, this is near impossible. If it did happen, half hour after those lights go off, you jump. There's just no question.

You land ok? Go get help, get rescued, sue the shit out the place, settle for thousands, live easy.

You break something? Slide down on your ass, get help, get rescued, sue the shit out of the place, settle for millions, retire.

I bet the sequel will have snakes on the lift.

The producer wants ski resorts to lose money because of a personal grudge. That is the only explanation for a movie this inane.

"Will do for skiing what Jaws did for swimming."
Now, if the premise was GIANT SNOW SHARK, this might be worth watching.

Snow Sharks! I love it! now where to find funding to make this movie.

this movie is for real? i thought it was a spoof-ish type. i was laughing the entire time because i couldn't believe kevin zegers (sp?) and that guy from x-men would make this film in earnest.

I live in Montana, and i pretty much just LOLd that entire thing.
Little kids jump off lifts all the time. No big deal.
BUT THEN THERE ARE WOLVES!!!
Really? And why exactly would you touch the bar with your bare hands?
Worst. Movie. Ever.

Holy shit! I cant believe how many people take time to prove how phony this movie is. Yeah, it could never happen. WE GET IT! ITS A MOVIE! Perhaps you morons would all like to explain how the planet, aliens and floating mountains in Avatar aren't real either.

Put the twinkies down, get your fat-asses in a shower and GO OUTSIDE!

Dude, are you for real? Nearly everyone that has comment has been an avid skier, or in one case a circus wunderkind (I'm looking at you Dan). It isn't like we have a ton of training in the whole "what would I do if I was stuck in a ski lift," but it's snow. You jump in and go poof, not splat. Anyway, I'm totally for the snowflake ladder idea. You know, for style points.

they have snowboards and skiis why not just jump down with those letting the board take in most of the impact, i ve seen it done to lots of "X-treme" people do it and thier fine besides they make the lifts a mandatory hight so that it is possible to just jump down.

I think this film is quite a god concept of what 'could' happen.
I mean, Its quite silly. But it is a possiblity if the ski resort doesnt check things.
I, myself would like to see this.

@11,
About getting your hands stuck to the cold bar.
Her hands might have been sweating cause she was so nervous.
My hands sweat if i get nervous. So maybe thats what happend.
And also about te fact she doesnt have gloves on, some people o prefer to snowboard/ski without gloves. So its quite logical.

@Others,
About the guy trying to climb the wire. If you noticed its day. They got stuc there during the night. This means he may not have enough energy to swing his legs around. Plus if your left in the cold and hungrey you do get the 'dumb'.

:D

@25 You have to be one of the most stupid people to ever comment on this website. If you have ever been to a mountain you would realize 1 in 100000 ski without gloves, that is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard. As someone pointed out, there are mandatory height restrictions on lifts so you are able to fall without it being fatal. Yes, depending how you land you could break a leg, but IT WILL NOT KILL YOU, OR FULLY DISABLE YOU. You are on a ski slope, with boards and ski's. Throw them down, bindings down, so they stick, jump down. Even if you bust your legs, drag yourself onto the board/skis and slide and slide, you have a car in the lot. You have heat there, there HAS to be a phone in one of the buildings, break a fucking window if you have to to use it at that point. This is 100% the worst concept of a movie I have ever seen in my entire fucking life. I am honest to God taken back that this concept made it past anyone at all, even the friends and family of whoever wrote this should have laughed in their face.

@26 THANKYOU FOR EXPLAINING TO THE STUPID!!!!!!!! if it happened to me halfway up the mountain, you could give me 30min and I'd be off the lift and at the nearest Dunkin Dounuts to get a cup of hot coffee

Frozen is an ice movie. I saw it five times.

@26, 27.

Thank you for claiming that I am 'The stupidest person to comment''
Srsly, that makes me feel warm inside ¬.¬

About the Gloves, Well she looks abit like a amature snowboarder. So meh' thats my conclusion on why she didnt have her gloves on. I even seen proffesinals go up in the chair lift and take their gloves off.

About the falling, Well if you look back on the trailer. You can see he landed with both of his legs first. This means he broke both of his legs (where the bone rips his flesh). Plus if you brake your legs like that, you will attract hungry predetors. So even if you try to drag yourself. You are still going to have a large possiblity that you will pass away. Plus dragging yourself will be tottally hard you will be in so much pain, and speed wont be on your side, the beasts are going to come to you before you can get away. Plus this is a horror film, The worse thats gonig to happen, happens. Nuff said.

Also about the car in the lot, Maybe they didnt come by car. Maybe they came by bus. Who knows?! until we see the movie.

But yeah, I see alot of people ae saying they would do this, they wouldnt do that and stuff. But if you have not been stuck on a ski lift before then you would panick and stay in the chair lift till morning. Then you have no energy to think straight. thats the reason that I belive that happens ><

But yeah, I think your concept is quite fair. But I was only saying the possiblites of what could happen. That is all. No need to get all loony.

@26. I love your name 'Jordie has a mental illness'
And you know what, your right. I do. Since I have been to the hosspital a number of times about my mental illness. So thank you for stating the obvious.

:D

@29/26 (Jordie),

I honestly like the idea of explenations you came up with. Quite logical relly.
But, I agree with the others this isnt the best concept of a movie. So, well done on explaining yourself.

Sorry to hear about the illness.

While I was re-watching the trailor.
I just realised, she does have gloves at the night. So its not that she doesnt have gloves on.
Maybe she took off the gloves to get more grip to grab onto the wire.
Since your hand have the best of grip, Unlike gloves which you cant feel much at all.

I am a marketing rep hired by the releasing company to sell this ridiculousness premise to whoever is still reading - full discloser.

I have also never seen Snow in RL and I am an Elf.

Also I am truly the dumbest person ever alive to defend this premise also any other attacks / conclusions you have about me are true. I am the creator / writer of such great ideas of the Ruins and other great non horror / we try to make it horror movies. GRATS!

wow really thats going to be boring just watching people go crazy on a ski lift woooooooooo exciting

Ty ty for pretending to be me! It makes me feel much loved :D

Besides I could create a better horror than this any day.
Now thank you people for making me feel so welcome to comment. Maybe I should comment more, to see you guys love me more.

Merry Christmas lovely hackers ^^

Whoever is fucked up enough to hate on Jordie is going down. Do you hear?
=D

I'm so sorry, I'm just a fucked up retard with no life.
I shouldn't have said what I said.
Sorry Jordie.

@38,
Its ok ^^, Now if you all excuse me.
Ima go and watch Paranormal Activity.

@ 22

Easy, Avatar is a Sci-Fi movie, this isn't.

Anyways, i would so land on a wolf and ride it to the bottom.

This is so retarded, i can't beleive they actually made this! Do you actually think you'd break your legs from jumping, ITS SNOW!!! The worse that could possibly happen is you get stiff nips! I've seen people jump out of helicopters and start skiing down mountains. An wolfs? Really? Sure... If you say so they'd be more scared of you. I wouldn't watch this if you payed me, end of.

First of all, if McGuyver was up there, he would have managed to get down and fight off the wolves with nothing more than a shoelace, a stick of lip gloss, a pinecone, and a sock.

Now if Chuck Norris was stuck up there....well he wouldn't, you see his awesomeness would have created a momentum that prevents things from getting stuck. On top of that he would be chewing of tasty wolf meat sticks when he got off.

I love how everyone is already pointing out all the factual errors of the movie, like ski patrol not inspecting the lift. Why not harp on sci-fi films for half an hour or so because you can hear things in the space scenes too? Or horror movies because the protagonist is always a dumb teenager whose hobbies probably include sticking their fingers in light sockets? Or the endless parade of sequels, prequels, remakes, adaptations of bad tv shows that were canceled in the 80s, comic book movies, and terrible video game movies?
At least someone in hollywood had the stones to write a new script for once this year.

These people deserve it! A ski resort that closes on SUNDAY, reopens on FRIDAY, and doesn't groom the slopes during the week? GNARLY

That said, I'm still going to see it, but am disappointed in the apparent lack of yetis/bigfoots in the trailer

@ 43

I do, but this movie is one stupid thing after another.

Wow. Are all you retards really arguing about this movie?

Wow Jordie, that makes so much sense. She might not have gloves! That theory totally makes sense, if you didn't watch the trailer or conveniently blinked at 0:22, 0:31, 0:38, 1:00, 1:06 or 1:29; which makes it 6 seperate scenes in the trailer alone that show her wearing gloves.

Also, it's really easy to just "forget" your hands are gripping an ice cold bar. Ooops too late LOL!!! Guess my hands are stuck LOL @ ME

Great insight, you helped the conversation a lot. Thanks.

I think that if it was the week the wolfs wood be hungrey because the camping is closed and is no people to eat so she would take her gloves off to wave for help from the wolfs. If the wolfs jumped off they would have broked legs and the lady with no gloves wouldn't be able to stitch their wounds because the man went along the wire but fell off on the wolfs. I'm taking my mentally retarded step-sister to see this movie because we like to have love on chairlift rides and not wolfs. And also if they had mobile phones it would be good because they could order pizzas and then they wouldn't starve and they could use the peaces to confuse the wolfs that they are peppperonis and not people on a big trip to failure.

I mean... this could quite possibly be the most influential movie of our time. I'm never going snowboarding ever again without a parachute and a bag of doggie snacks. It's got my vote! This movie has Golden Globes written all over it.

They've got a sequel lined up; "Sharks on a ski-lift."

This just shows how Sarah Palin is needed to our country keep being a real hunter and shooting wolfs from a helicopter! As a real hunter I know their is nothing more thrilling in the hunt then just fucking killing everything without a fair chance..... I like shooting fish in a barrel.

i ve seen it done to lots of "X-treme" people do it and thier fine besides they make the lifts a mandatory hight so that it is possible to just jump down.

The girl can be seen wearing MITTENS at 0:14, 0:29, 0:38, and then at night on the stopped lift still wearing them at 0:48, 0:52, 1:00,1:05, and 1:26. This movie will be less entertaining than Open Water. Hollywood should pay me millions of dollars to write movies. Who the fuck made this turd?

I just saw the movie last night - it was pretty cool!

she wasn't wearing 1 pair of her gloves because SHE DROPPED IT.
