The Bloody Truth:
A terrifying ghost story told from the front seat of a car. Wind Chill is
creepy as hell from the second the film starts. This supernatural tale flew
under many radars but its small isolated location and the slow and
deliberate time taken to build tension in the unknown will put you on the
edge of your seat.
Wind Chill is a film that if you let it take you there, you will be in for one hell
of a scary ride.

This film started out for me as what I'd consider a "B" movie, but once I was drawn into the story and surroundings, that quickly changed.
No more than a hand full of actors, and two main actors really gave this film it's haunting, lonely quality.
Using the well built atmosphere and our fear of the unknown and isolation Wind Chill kept on my seat and guessing what would happen
next nearly from the start. Yes, there was some gore, but in my opinion it was minor and played little role in the over all impact and shock
value of the film. Like nearly all films that are well done Wind Chill seems very realistic, I found myself shivering from the cold several
times.
Turn down the lights, get a blanket and enjoy. Take it from someone who usually prefers big slimy monsters in their horror movies, Wind
Chill is sure to please a wind audience.
