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.

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
All surface and no depth, with an incongruous ending that makes for an unsatisfying ending to an indecisive movie.
04/29/07
Obviously meant to chill us to the bone, but it barely registers on the cinematic thermometer.
04/27/07
Though the oblique and confused storytelling saps the heat out of Wind Chill, the picture still boasts a game performance from Emily Blunt
04/28/07
Wind Chill blows into increasingly nightmarish and ludicrous territory, introducing frostbitten ghouls, priestly apparitions, a nasty cop, and a cycle of hallucinations.
04/28/07
As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.
08/03/07
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
Could have worked, if only I had given a damn.
05/04/07
Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.
08/03/07
Well 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
Promising elements never quite bind.
07/31/07
The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.
08/03/07
Wind Chill suffers from an underdeveloped screenplay, which feels like a first draft, erroneously deemed ready for production.

A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.
04/30/07
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.
05/02/08
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.
05/03/07
Elevates familiar fright motifs to levels of shivery dismay.
04/28/07
...a refreshingly adult horror effort that boasts a pair of phenomenal lead performances.
08/11/08
Wind Chill doesn't advance the mechanics of the horror genre, but it gives audiences fed up with the Michael Bay School of Horror something of a breather.
