    I wan't that time back

    Simply put, this is ridiculously bad. The film's first 15 minutes or so caused me to divide myself. Half of me was moaning "Boo! I've seen the slasher movies all before. Well, maybe this time it'll actually be scary" and the other half is screaming "Bring on the gore!" Neither is correct. Instead, I was treated to an unbelievably terrible movie that wanted to be something it most certainly is not. It's the psychological thriller version of a when a TV show tries to recreate a Hollywood disaster ... OK, I know that barely makes any sense but neither does the movie ... or the acting ... or the fact I wasted £3 on it. Maybe I should spend longer explaining my previous statement but that would mean giving the movie more of my time and I've wasted enough buying it, watching it and now trying in vain to make sure none of you decide to make the same mistake. You have been warned!

    I liked this movie!

    This movie is not a slasher-horror which is what I like about it. Instead of just hacking up a bunch of teens, the filmmakers actually made a story about how bad drugs are and how scary it can be to be messed up on them.

    I thought the movie looked way bigger than 2MM and the acting was great. I would recommend watching this movie if you see it on TV or on DVD. It is better and more original than most movies I have seen lately.

    I also thought Brian McNamara from the show Army Wives was great as the sheriff and as a director. I look forward to seeing his next directorial project.

    Not all bad had it's moments

    A couple have just left a new years eve party and then on the trip, they both start feel stranger

    Tiff are hearing voices and while Kevin were see things as fuzzy, well I also found the movie to be very fuzzy as well.

    As the movie goes on, you not really what is really going one, it really happening, or it is all in their head?

    Well it's wasn't all bad, there some parts of the movie that enjoyed but I found most of the movie to be a bit annoying.

    There were some decent turns and twist that makes sense before the last scenes but I didn't not get the last twist at the end however it's did surprise me but It's didn't really make sense.

    The movie leaves you hanging and without explaining the last scenes.

    4 out of 10 worthing watching a least one time.

    A poor excuse for a "movie"

    I wish I could choose a number lower than 1 = awful. Whom ever is responsible for this garbage...go kill yourself. Its over.

    2 million budget my left nut. It makes Blair Witch Project look like Ten Commandments.

    Try making porn dude. You don't need to have creative talent for that.

    See if they need a gopher on a real movie and try to pay attention to how they do things.

    I don't want to be rude. But seriously, it really really sucks. Do they have a "movie making for dummys" book? It might be a little above your head but give it a try. Seriously, you have nothing to lose. Or maybe get an internship at IHOP.

    Based on Nebraska Couple

    I believe this movie is based on the Nebraska couple, Mike Wamsley and Janelle Hornickel. I first saw their story on Dateline or 48 Hourse, one of those shows. Then I rented this movie, titled as Dead of Winter, and started to realize it was following the same storyline of that real life Nebraska couple. I can't guarantee this is the story that McNamara based his film on but it sure seems to be. Anyway, really unfortunate situation those two kids got themselves into.

    Overall I think the movie pretty good. Some of the interior shots, especially the scene where Kevin talks to Tiffany's father, were pretty hot and washed out. The night stuff was done well and the snow backdrop at night was effective. I think the pacing is good and with so many bad horror or thriller indies out there, this one is above those no question. If nothing else, it's worth watching for the story and what happened to these kids.

    • Trivia
      The film is loosely inspired by the deaths of A Nebraska couple Janelle Hornickel and Michael Wamsley who while high on Crystal methamphetamine, lost control of their vehicle in the winter and tried walking home on foot while making continuous 911 calls. Their bodies were later found.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Tiffany is running from Kevin, she is seen in one scene on the floor wearing Dani's Jacket, then she hits Kevin and starts running, but the jacket suddenly disappears, and then reappears later after she passes a couple of trees.
