Snow Falls

Well, this movie from writers Luke Genton, Colton Tran and Laura M. Young is as bad as the IMDb rating actually indicates. Yeah, sometimes you just got to stop and take heed of the warning signs before you opt to sit down and watch something.

I hadn't heard about "Snow Falls" prior to sitting down to watch it. It was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, so of course I opted to watch it. And yeah, I had taken notice of the 2.9 rating (in this very moment I am writing this review) on IMDb, and I was a little bit hesitant about the movie. But I opted to give director Colton Tran the benefit of the doubt.

The storyline in "Snow Falls" fell short of entertaining me, much less capturing my interest. So it was a difficult movie to sit through, as the 79 minutes felt extraordinary long given the slow paced narrative and the lack of anything overly interesting happening.

Now, I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is usually something I enjoy when I watch a movie. And I will say that they had some good enough talents on the cast list here, just a real shame that they didn't have anything worthwhile working with in terms of script, characters and dialogue.

Visually then you're not in for anything spectacular, should you opt to sit down and watch "Snow Falls". There weren't any real use of special effects throughout the course of the movie, nor did it really seem like the movie would have benefitted from it.

If you enjoy horror movies, then take heed and perhaps give "Snow Falls" a wide berth. It simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. Some of us suffered through the 79 minutes of movie so you don't have to.

My rating of "Snow Falls" lands on a three out of ten stars.

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.

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.

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!

Snow Falls (2023) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of friends snowed in at a winter cabin with no heat, electricity, or food. As their resources dwindle and hypothermia begins to set in, their mental states start to deteriorate.

Directed by Colton Tran (The Bell Keeper), the film stars Victoria Moroles (Teen Wolf), Anna Grace Barlow (Witch Hunt), Johnny Berchtold (The Passenger), and James Gaisford (Love in Tahiti).

This movie is frustrating to watch. The sense of hopelessness is poorly conveyed-while the characters complain about a lack of resources to stay warm, the cabin is filled with furniture, wooden cabinets, and railings that could easily be used for firewood. Additionally, they never consider walking to the nearest house for help, which strains believability. The majority of the film is spent watching the characters sit around and complain, which quickly grows tiresome. The acting is serviceable but doesn't stand out, likely due to the lackluster material. While the ending twist/reveal is decent, it's far too little, too late to salvage the movie.

In conclusion, Snow Falls is a weak entry in the horror genre and not worth your time. I would score it a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
