After a winter storm strands five friends in a remote cabin with no power and little food, disorientation slowly claims their sanity as each of them succumbs to a fear that the snow itself may be contaminated or somehow evil.
Jack Frost makes an appearance in the Cabin in the Woods while a bunch of drugged friends make the worst decision making in cinematic history. Decent kills, cool snowy setting, average acting, cringey dialogue and intriguing mystery but it melted away pretty fast. Snow Fails.
A runtime of 79 minutes and still feels overlong is not a good indication of quality. I tried this one out mainly for its intriguing cabin fever premise, and it turns out the best bits of the movie have already been included in the trailer.
Chronicling five friends slowly losing their minds after being trapped in a cabin, Snow Falls is as formulaic and mainstream as it gets, with nothing truly standing out. It's only when the shit really hits the fan for one scene or two, that the story shows glimpses of potential had it been handled in better hands, but overall it's an utterly uninspired bore that's totally dispensable.
Although it has some interesting character developments and a pretty good premise, this is again a bad movie with not enough meaningful development of the psychological sides of the characters, even though they look believable, their every step is kind of obvious. Despite the short duration of the film, you can feel the length and slow pace, because in some scenes it seems they didn't know what to put in the plot, so they supplemented it with some senseless clichéd event. There is simply a lot missing, that is, we have very few events that I could say are interesting, everything seems empty, and over time it surprises us (in a bad way) with rather illogical events in the development…
Five friends find themselves stuck in a secluded cabin during a winter storm with no food or power. Hypothermia sets in and the group begins hallucinating and seeing things. After awhile they begin to think that something evil lies within the snow...
Watching the group slowly lose themselves due to sleep deprivation, starvation, paranoia, and fear was rather interesting. Unfortunately none of the five characters were interesting. The end was weak. Just kinda sputters to a halt.
Snow Falls is an absolute travesty of a film, only clocking in at a mere 79 minutes, but feels double the length. Intolerable characters, terrible acting and majorly flat storytelling. A rough watch, that I wanted to be over, a film to avoid.
The CGI breathing to emulate how “cold” it was bothered me so much. Also, the abundance of CGI snow that’s falling was so poorly done. It was incredibly distracting and laughable.
These 20-something year olds were dense and idiotic as hell. They’re basically at death’s door by day 3 (lol) and they still won’t take a door off its hinges for firewood. Or cover themselves with all those blankets or additional jackets in the closets. So stupid.
A really terrible movie that’s luckily only 79 minutes. A snoozer. 2/10.
