Wind Chill
As she paints her toenails, ignoring him, they drive alone the open highway. An on screen clock shows they have been on the road for a couple of hours. She asks him to keep an eye out for a gas station, saying she needs a bathroom break. At the filling station, she doesn't want to get out of the car because the polish on her nails hasn't yet dried. He offers to carry her into the station, which, despite her protests, he does.

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.

...a refreshingly adult horror effort that boasts a pair of phenomenal lead performances.

Ropey, derivative and very, very boring horror-thriller.

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.

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.

The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock.

A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.

As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing.

Wind Chill, for all its flaws, is an often spooky and imaginative ghost story that contains a genuine creepiness.
