A couple of college students known only as the Girl and the Guy are traveling home to Delaware the day before Christmas Eve. They're on a frozen road that the Guy is convinced is a scenic short-cut. In the middle of nowhere in below freezing conditions they are run off the road by a hit and runner. They soon realize they're caught in a supernatural bubble where a crime from 1953 is doomed to repeat itself, year after year threatening new victims. The Guy attempts to walk back to the last petrol station but his wounds from the crash are worse than he let on. Written by

After their car crashes, the guy suggests that the girl operate the car's controls while he tries to push it out of a deep snowbank. However, much of the car is so covered in snow and drifts that it would have been impossible to push it out. See more »
Quotes
Guy:
Okay, so let me get this straight, you think I intentionally arranged for us to get stranded out here?
Girl:
I don't know!
Guy:
It was an accident, goddammit! You saw the other guy! You think he was in on it too?
Girl:
Maybe!
Guy:
You're crazy!
Girl:
I'm crazy?
Guy:
Yes!
Girl:
You know what, while you were supposedly unconscious, I got through to a friend's voice mail and I'm sure she's called the cops.
Guy:
Would you listen to yourself? What kind of a psycho do you think I am?
Girl:
Exactly!

Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes play two nameless college students who share a ride home for the holidays. On the way from Pennsylvania to Delaware, their car becomes stranded in a snow bank far away from civilization. Soon they are being haunted by the ghosts of all the numerous people who died earlier in the very spot that seems intent on claiming two fresh victims.
"Wind Chill" is a modest little horror outing whose admirable restraint and sense of atmosphere don't quite compensate for its overall lack of energy and incoherent storyline. It takes quite awhile for the plot to kick itself into gear, and even when it does, the movie ends not with a bang but with a whimper.
"Wind Chill" is certainly preferable to an out-and-out gore-fest like "Saw" or "Hostel," but a few more runs through the typewriter (or word processor, as the case may be) might have gone a long way towards making it a more satisfying and scary film. Like the car stuck in the snowdrift, the audience at "Wind Chill" ultimately finds itself stranded in the middle of nowhere.
