Snow Falls

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.

They are literally in the wood. Surrouned by trees. They have gas stove. Tons on jackets and blankets. Cabin is made of strong wood and even a single snowflake is not inside... and they keep panicking that they will die of coldness? No other explanation except young are today completelly useless, or the director make this cause he lost some bet.

Medical student is story for herself, if there is any justice they would at least eat her first time when she suggested that they should not fall asleep so we can call this a horror.

They were for 3 days there and acted like it is end of the world.

Shame.

For a movie about snow, there sure isn't much of it. As many other reviews have already pointed out quite well, this movie fails on so many levels while still attempting to convince you it's succeeding. The radio announcement at the beginning preshadowed the quality of the remainder of the film. Not sure if it was just my copy, but the entire movie seemed oversaturated which pretty much killed any sort of creepy vibe they were attempting to go for. There were some good moments of atmosphere (not the weather kind) for which I gave it 2 stars rather than one. But seriously, next time someone comes up with a plot full of this many holes, maybe they should think again before trying to turn it into a movie. Snow falls, more like snow fails.

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.
