Consensus: Wind Chill is a ghost story with a clunky and unpolished script that fails to keep viewers in suspense.

Synopsis: WIND CHILL takes the conventions of the haunted house film and transplants them to a dangerous stretch of road where the unfortunate victims of prior events haunt those unwise enough to drive on... [More]

Reviews for Wind Chill
Imagine a campfire story told by Jack London after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels. The chilly atmosphere would be in full force but the plotting might be a bit punch drunk.

After a great set-up, we're left stranded by the side of the road, wishing the filmmakers had come up with a conclusion at least somewhere close to as good.

At the very least, it's an old-fashioned ghost story with half a brain -- and that's got to be worth more than a casual glance.

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.
08/03/07
Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.
08/03/07
Spooky, smart and subtle.

Promising elements never quite bind.

Could have worked, if only I had given a damn.

Wind Chill suffers from an underdeveloped screenplay, which feels like a first draft, erroneously deemed ready for production.
05/04/07
Wind Chill deserves a merit badge for even trying to tell a horror story without resorting to tired and amateurish shock value. The picture's puzzle might not piece together properly, but the effort is appreciated.

Almost always, you can expect the worst when a studio dumps a film without advance screenings. But the well-crafted thriller Wind Chill, with rising star Emily Blunt, is the very rare case where somebody (in this case, Sony) goofed.

Top CriticWell before day breaks, it’s the movie’s plot (which would have made for an outstanding Outer Limits episode) that has come to seem stuck in an endless loop.
05/02/07
Despite its failings, Wind Chill represents a road rarely taken by 21st-century American horror films: Original (in the non-remake sense of the term), subtle and restrained.
05/02/07
A tidy little ghost story, with interesting characters, a captivating performance by up-and-comer Emily Blunt.
05/01/07
Wind Chill, for all its flaws, is an often spooky and imaginative ghost story that contains a genuine creepiness.
05/01/07
Top CriticA moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.
04/30/07
Top CriticAll surface and no depth, with an incongruous ending that makes for an unsatisfying ending to an indecisive movie.
