Snow Falls

I watched a really bad Argentinian horror movie yesterday which I also scored with a two (a low rating that doesn't happen often with me) so I thought this week couldn't get any worse. What was I wrong! Snow Falls was slightly better as for the quality of the images but the story, if you can call it that, was beyond dumb. It's been a while since I was so flabbergasted by a bad story. I won't spoil anything, if there's even anything to spoil here. The story is so dumb, some kids go on a trip in a luxuary chalet, with all the comfort, open fire, blankets, plenty of wood everywhere, and they still manage to talk about hypothermia whilst walking around in their tank top. You couldn't think of a dumber horror (that's what it's categorized as, you wonder why) movie. They supposedly run out of food after half a day but still have food at the end. Not to mention the blizzard, what a joke, there's more snow in frigging Spain. It looked like a nice cozy winter instead of a devastating cyclone bomb. Avoid this movie at all costs, except if you're a bit masochistic and like to be annoyed for one hour and thirteen minutes.

Some of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen.

There is literally zero attempt to make it look like there is any snow in this snow storm. Not even a single try. The ground has a thing layer, enough to make a foot print, but that is it.

Then these morons make ZERO attempt to save themselves. They have a gas stove, only use it once, and then never again. They don't go out and get branches to burn or chop down one of the many trees to burn. They refuse to burn furniture or take down any of the WOODEN HOUSE like a banister or a door or anything because the rich baby said "MuH DaDdDy WiLl KiLl Me!!!11!" dude no parent would prefer their kid freeze to death instead of ruin a door or some chairs.

Then, the "medical knowledge". NOTHING in this movie is right. That is some of the ACTUAL worst writing in history. Literally nothing was correct.

One of the worst movies ever ever sat through. It is atrocious.

Snow Falls (2023) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of friends snowed in at a winter cabin with no heat, electricity, or food. As their resources dwindle and hypothermia begins to set in, their mental states start to deteriorate.

Directed by Colton Tran (The Bell Keeper), the film stars Victoria Moroles (Teen Wolf), Anna Grace Barlow (Witch Hunt), Johnny Berchtold (The Passenger), and James Gaisford (Love in Tahiti).

This movie is frustrating to watch. The sense of hopelessness is poorly conveyed-while the characters complain about a lack of resources to stay warm, the cabin is filled with furniture, wooden cabinets, and railings that could easily be used for firewood. Additionally, they never consider walking to the nearest house for help, which strains believability. The majority of the film is spent watching the characters sit around and complain, which quickly grows tiresome. The acting is serviceable but doesn't stand out, likely due to the lackluster material. While the ending twist/reveal is decent, it's far too little, too late to salvage the movie.

In conclusion, Snow Falls is a weak entry in the horror genre and not worth your time. I would score it a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

If you have ever wanted to watch moist garbage freeze in the winter snow you are certainly in luck.

The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, along with the writing and directing. The characters spend an an inordinate amount of time in-doors, contemplating amateur survival skills from a character that has never spent a minute out in the wilderness, and whose sole knowledge-base of the wilderness is based off of first aid videos and vintage survival tips viewed on Youtube.

All of the actors are no-name, which is not necessarily a bad thing except for the fact that they all failed acting class.

Enjoy your C-class horror movie that will leave you with no satisfaction at all.

This movie starts off with beautiful drone visuals, but it quickly turns into something as if a group of film students rented an Airbnb and had the collective thought of making a movie about being stuck there in a snow storm. For being a movie filmed entirely in one setting, the occasional shots of the trees outside doesn't help the story when they're all bare. I especially love the one scene after someone dies and they go outside and it's calm, then quickly switches to harsh blowing snow that is very obviously a filter they applied post-processing.

Lastly and most importantly, this film projects a misinformed understanding of hypothermia. But perhaps it's true when you, and everyone around you, is a moron.
