Title: Not So Chilling
Review: This is a rather disappointing, and ultimately pretty incoherent, ghost story. I think.There are a number of holes in the script and direction, and not even the good acting can overcome these problems.Strangely, given the lengths to which the production went to create the reality of the chilling winter in which our two protagonists are stranded in a road accident, the couple doesn't actually seem very cold. In the "making of" featurette, they seemed to be shivering and showing their breath, but these effects weren't very visible in the movie itself.Emily Blunt struggles gamely here, and even does one of the most credible American accents by a British actor that I've ever heard.But ultimately the film really doesn't hold together very well, and you will likely wind up scratching your head and saying, "huh?" at the end.Blunt deserves much better material, and I hope she finds more projects like "The Young Victoria," in which she glows like a bright ember.
