It sports a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: Writer/director Adam Green has the beginnings of an inventive, frightening yarn in Frozen, but neither the script nor the cast are quite strong enough to truly do it justice
It was nominated for a Saturn for Best Horror Film, but lost to Drag Me to Hell.
