For a movie about snow, there sure isn't much of it. As many other reviews have already pointed out quite well, this movie fails on so many levels while still attempting to convince you it's succeeding. The radio announcement at the beginning preshadowed the quality of the remainder of the film. Not sure if it was just my copy, but the entire movie seemed oversaturated which pretty much killed any sort of creepy vibe they were attempting to go for. There were some good moments of atmosphere (not the weather kind) for which I gave it 2 stars rather than one. But seriously, next time someone comes up with a plot full of this many holes, maybe they should think again before trying to turn it into a movie. Snow falls, more like snow fails.

They have heat....... the entire movie is ignorant and mindless. The medical student would never make it in real life and should have been sacrificed and eaten. Whoever wrote the film should stick to basic children's books. There are multiple bedrooms throughout this big Ole cabin with thick blankets besides the fact they have gas as heat source. One of these clowns turns on stove, burns his hand and they magically forget about the gas stove and keep rambling how they are hypothermia after one day. There is a forest full of wood, house full of wood, plenty of alcohol to start fire besides fact THEY HAVE GAS FOR HEAT!

When a group of college friends go to one of their parent's cottages, at a ski resort called Snow Falls, for New Year's Eve...they end up getting trapped, with no power, little food, and a supply of firewood that they are burning through quick.

However, they still have a safe house...and blankets...and each other...

So when the one girl- traumatized by the dying words of her mother- takes over, with all these rules, designed to prevent hypothermia...all logic- and any semblance of common sense- is just thrown out the window.

Because...though, it would no doubt be cold. It wouldn't be to the point where they are actually hypothermic.

So the fact that she suggests they "don't fall asleep", only acts to make matters worse...as being sleep deprived would go to adversely effect their psychological state.

Which is what the entire premise of this film is based on.

As they can't even go three damn days before they all start tripping out.

Which is just as ridiculous as not falling asleep at all during that timeframe.

Because, they are quite literally surrounded by trees...yet make no attempt to collect firewood at any point.

Which would have solved all of their nonsensical problems.

Not to mention...THERE IS BARELY EVEN ANY FRIGGING SNOW...!?!?

For anyone who lives in an area where it snows...you'll look at the rate at which the CGI (ugh) snow is coming down...and be like...hey, how pleasant.

The filmmakers make zero effort to make it seem like they are actually stuck in a blizzard (the snow doesn't even go above the soles of their boots ffs).

So it's simply laughable.

And this is before they introduce the equally absurd theme of them thinking the snowflakes are infected by some sort of virus.

Which doesn't even make any damn sense.

Their paranoid delusions are, apparently, a result of the sleep deprivation...while their sleep deprivation is all based on one chick's idiotic direction...and them collectively being too stupid to collect firewood, despite wandering around outside amongst a plethora of very accessible trees.

Literally nothing in this film makes sense.

If the writers had half a brain, they would have just made the whole thing a cannibal flick...because the only actual problem they have is a lack of food...and even that is giving them the benefit of the doubt, because they still have food at the end!!!

The entire plot here is so stupid...it's flabbergasting.

Leaving me genuinely confused about what the creators were thinking when they constructed it.

Is the whole point of this film to frustrate you, with how frustratingly dumb these characters are?

Cause if that's not it...then I just don't get it.

Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing what kind of year 2023 is going to be like for horror.

Because this move is idiotic.

Talk about a bad start to the New Year...

1 out of 10.

This movie starts off with beautiful drone visuals, but it quickly turns into something as if a group of film students rented an Airbnb and had the collective thought of making a movie about being stuck there in a snow storm. For being a movie filmed entirely in one setting, the occasional shots of the trees outside doesn't help the story when they're all bare. I especially love the one scene after someone dies and they go outside and it's calm, then quickly switches to harsh blowing snow that is very obviously a filter they applied post-processing.

Lastly and most importantly, this film projects a misinformed understanding of hypothermia. But perhaps it's true when you, and everyone around you, is a moron.

They are literally in the wood. Surrouned by trees. They have gas stove. Tons on jackets and blankets. Cabin is made of strong wood and even a single snowflake is not inside... and they keep panicking that they will die of coldness? No other explanation except young are today completelly useless, or the director make this cause he lost some bet.

Medical student is story for herself, if there is any justice they would at least eat her first time when she suggested that they should not fall asleep so we can call this a horror.

They were for 3 days there and acted like it is end of the world.

Shame.

I thought this was a very well made psychological thriller-horror film and am disappointed by all the low scores and purely nasty "reviews." I've definitely watched plenty of horror that left me in a state of shock - shock that someone over the age of 6 wrote, directed and acted in the film and shock it was even made and released. This is definitely NOT one of those films!

The actors were terrifically casted and I enjoyed all of their performances. I recognized Em from Down a Dark Hall and some of the others as well. The story was well thought out and kept my interest all the way through. I especially enjoyed the 'little things' in this film: creepy Russian experiment story; medical aspect of film (paradoxical hypothermia - that's something new - I love feeling smarter after watching a film); the snowman; the fact that I felt cold watching it! The special effects were great- I Loved the snowman scene! It reminded me a bit of a Christmasland snowman from Joe Hill's NOS4A2, which I also loved.

I highly recommend this film, especially to fans of the horror & dark thriller genre. I can't wait to see what this filmmaker creates next!

If you have ever wanted to watch moist garbage freeze in the winter snow you are certainly in luck.

The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, along with the writing and directing. The characters spend an an inordinate amount of time in-doors, contemplating amateur survival skills from a character that has never spent a minute out in the wilderness, and whose sole knowledge-base of the wilderness is based off of first aid videos and vintage survival tips viewed on Youtube.

All of the actors are no-name, which is not necessarily a bad thing except for the fact that they all failed acting class.

Enjoy your C-class horror movie that will leave you with no satisfaction at all.

I watched a really bad Argentinian horror movie yesterday which I also scored with a two (a low rating that doesn't happen often with me) so I thought this week couldn't get any worse. What was I wrong! Snow Falls was slightly better as for the quality of the images but the story, if you can call it that, was beyond dumb. It's been a while since I was so flabbergasted by a bad story. I won't spoil anything, if there's even anything to spoil here. The story is so dumb, some kids go on a trip in a luxuary chalet, with all the comfort, open fire, blankets, plenty of wood everywhere, and they still manage to talk about hypothermia whilst walking around in their tank top. You couldn't think of a dumber horror (that's what it's categorized as, you wonder why) movie. They supposedly run out of food after half a day but still have food at the end. Not to mention the blizzard, what a joke, there's more snow in frigging Spain. It looked like a nice cozy winter instead of a devastating cyclone bomb. Avoid this movie at all costs, except if you're a bit masochistic and like to be annoyed for one hour and thirteen minutes.

Some of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen.

There is literally zero attempt to make it look like there is any snow in this snow storm. Not even a single try. The ground has a thing layer, enough to make a foot print, but that is it.

Then these morons make ZERO attempt to save themselves. They have a gas stove, only use it once, and then never again. They don't go out and get branches to burn or chop down one of the many trees to burn. They refuse to burn furniture or take down any of the WOODEN HOUSE like a banister or a door or anything because the rich baby said "MuH DaDdDy WiLl KiLl Me!!!11!" dude no parent would prefer their kid freeze to death instead of ruin a door or some chairs.

Then, the "medical knowledge". NOTHING in this movie is right. That is some of the ACTUAL worst writing in history. Literally nothing was correct.

One of the worst movies ever ever sat through. It is atrocious.

I don't understand all the bad reviews. This film was interesting to me. It is a psychological thriller. The movie moved at a good pace and kept me interested throughout. Trust me I've seen movies a lot worse. The plot is a group of young people spend New Years at a cabin. There is a bad winter storm. They get snowed in. Their power goes out. Their food supply is low. What happens next is they just try to survive. I won't spoil the movie. But these people are freezing and are hungry and their minds starts playing tricks on them. Snow Falls is in the horror genre but it is not a gory slasher movie. There are some creepy moments but that's all I'm going to say. I enjoyed watching it.

This is a silly movie, written by people who have never been to a really cold area of the US in winter. A group of friends decide to go to the cabin (mansion) of the parents of one of them, in the middle of winter. There is notice in the radio of two big storns, one after the other, coming to their area. Most people would get in their cars and leave ahead of the storms, taking into account they have very little food, and a total of 3 logs for the fireplace. (Sorry for laughing, I live in northen Minnesota.) They have winter coats, which don't seem to work, and some of them don't even bother to zip them up or cover their heads. Can't say anything else, but if you live north of Florida, you should be able to guess what happens. Lol.

When the writer is also the director and editor and producer and in the film, it's going to fail. And this was a great example of another failure of a movie. None of it made sense. Decisions were insulting to a child. The characters weren't unlikeable, they just were empty. The ending was phoned in. Mr Tran needs to find one thing he's good at and stick with it. Acting definitely isn't it, and neither is writing. Perhaps his editing is where his talent should go. The rest of the cast should stick to their service industry jobs or pursue another career. Freaking out after 1 day of the storm was completely ridiculous.

I don't even know where to start with this train wreck. I wasted a Friday night watching this garbage. The characters are snowed in and act like they are stranded in the wild without a shelter. They are trapped in a million dollar cabin. They have beds, blankets, a gas stove etc.... I don't know why this movie is considered a horror movie. The only horror is that someone actually thought it was good enough to put this movie out there. There is not one likable character. This is coming from a horror movie fan who loves all things horror including off the wall cheesy horror flicks. Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.
