Snow Falls (2023)

Snow Falls (2023). Snow Falls: Directed by Colton Tran. With Anna Grace Barlow, Jonathan Bennett, Johnny Berchtold, Patrick Fabian. 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.

“When a group of college friends go to one of their parentu0026#39;s cottages, at a ski resort called Snow Falls, for New Yearu0026#39;s Eve…they end up getting trapped, with no power, little food, and a supply of firewood that they are burning through quick.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, they still have a safe house…and blankets…and each other…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo when the one girl takes over, with all these rules, designed to prevent hypothermia…it doesnu0026#39;t really make any sense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause…though, it would no doubt be cold. It wouldnu0026#39;t be to the point where they are actually hypothermic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo the fact that she suggests they u0026quot;donu0026#39;t fall asleepu0026quot;, only acts to make matters worse…as being sleep deprived would adversely effect their psychological state.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich is what the entire premise of this film is based on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause they canu0026#39;t even go three damn days before they all start tripping out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich is just as ridiculous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause, they are quite literally surrounded by trees…yet make no attempt to collect firewood at any point.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich would have solved all of their nonsensical problems.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot to mention…THERE IS BARELY EVEN ANY FRIGGING SNOW…for anyone who lives in an area where it snows…youu0026#39;ll look at the rate at which that the CGI (ugh) snow is coming down…and be like…hey, how pleasant.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith the filmmakers making zero effort to make it seem like they are stuck in an actual blizzard (the snow doesnu0026#39;t even go above the soles of their boots ffs).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s simply laughable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd this is before they introduce the equally absurd theme of them thinking the snowflakes are infected by some sort of virus.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich doesnu0026#39;t even make any damn sense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe paranoid delusions are, apparently, a result of the sleep deprivation…and the sleep deprivation is all based on one chicku0026#39;s idiotic direction…and them collectively being too stupid to collect firewood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLiterally nothing in this film makes sense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf 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!!!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe entire plot here is so stupid…itu0026#39;s flabbergasting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLeaving me genuinely confused about what the creators were thinking when they constructed it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs the whole point of this film to frustrate you, with how frustratingly stupid these characters are?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCause if thatu0026#39;s not it…then I just donu0026#39;t get it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHopefully this isnu0026#39;t foreshadowing what kind of year 2023 is going to be like for horror.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause this move is idiotic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTalk about a bad start to the New Year…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1.5 out of 10.”
