A movie does not have to be great or a blockbuster to be entertaining, or at least watchable, and to be honest for most of this movie's runtime I thought that's what I was going to be saying about "Frost." It wasn't great, but as a time waster it was passable. And then came the last 10 minutes or so (more, later.) Essentially, we have here a two person story - about Abby and her dad Grant (estranged for five years apparently when she suddenly shows up on the doorstep of his cabin in the woods, pregnant with his grandchild.) But the estrangement seems rather easily set aside, making me wonder why the estrangement angle was even necessary. Abby could have just been visiting her dad. Anyway, that means that (aside from an actress who facetimes with Abby for a couple of minutes at the beginning, and, of course, Shadow the wolf - who gets credited for his brief appearance) the cast is largely limited to Devanny Pinn and Vernon Wells - two actors I have never heard of. But - again - that's fine. Sometimes unknown actors can be surprisingly good. Pinn and Wells weren't surprisingly good, but they were adequate. The story was anything but original - dad and pregnant daughter go off the road and find themselves stranded in the woods with no food and very little hope and a winter storm approaching. That kind of story can be dramatic and suspenseful even if it has been overdone, and "Frost" had its moments. So I was going to rate this as an adequate if unspectacular time waster kind of movie. And then came the last 10 minutes.

Why was there a need to suddenly turn this into little more than a gorefest? Those last 10 minutes were awful. Abby may not have been a memorable character and Pinn's performance may have been little more than adequate, but still after everything I wanted Abby to have a peaceful ending. I didn't need to see her eating her newborn (albeit it dead) baby, nor did I need to see her dying with a sharp icicle falling on to her and through her eye into her brain. Seriously - where did all that come from? And why? Who thought that would be a good ending? It was horrible - just awful. An adequate if unspectacular time waster became just a dreadful, horrific experience as it came to its end - for no obvious reason except somebody decided to throw some gore in. Only because the first 70 minutes were adequate if unspectacular I'll give this a 3/10. But the ending just left me with a feeling of - "Yuck."

This movie would've been better if it never happened! The script consisted of random grunts. Too bad the wolves didn't eat the girl. Would've been a good dinner for them. The dad was a total moron too, he was good for nothin! Poor acting and poor effects, I'd rather watch my grandma sit on a rocking chair. These characters deserved what they got. What a brutal brutal movie, I hope the team that created this monstrosity never produce another film again for the sake of everyone's sanity and on earth and in the universe. This movie must be burnt in the fires of hell and never played again! Awful!

After watching this movie, with lots of forwarding, I concluded writers wanted to create a film about a mother eating her own (dead) baby. Disgusting!! No other excuse for putting that scene in this movie. No mother would do such a thing! Unrealistic as she was not starving after 3 -4 days without food. Also, she would have died from blood loss, if pain from childbirth, without medicine, didn't kill her.

Other scenes were unrealistic, weak support of that scene including the plodding pace, bad acting, doomed characters, nonsensical action, and stupid ending.

Don't waste time watching! Horrible!
