If you are a horror aficionado and like genuinely scary, maybe creepy or unsettlingly great well done films, look elsewhere....
A plastic hairy suit is as good as it gets with the usual excuse for a trip to the snow..a couple of poor quality gory moments and we are done
Avoid if you can
I read the book and it was very involving and holds the reader until the very end.So I really wanted to see the film.It was so different than what I was expecting,lots of the book glossed over,no slow build up to talk of,It really was rather dull.Good quality actors but the director did not get much of a performance from Emma Thomson who sleep walks through the film not generating the tension so well portraid in the book.
Great film with a huge amount of realism. Just amazed at this true story and what those guys went through.
I think this film stays with you for a while unlike so many Hollywood factory produced efforts.
Well done..
