10 Great Christmas Horror Movies You Probably Haven't Seen
10. Wind Chill
In Wind Chill, two unnamed college students (Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes) are driving through a snowstorm when their car breaks down. Due to the blistering temperature, the pair are worried they might freeze to death. After discovering something is hunting them, they soon realise the cold is the least of their problems.
Gregory Jacobs' supernatural horror tanked upon its release, to the point where it went straight to DVD in most markets. However, it's hard to understand how Wind Chill didn't make a bigger impact, since it's sweat-inducing from start to finish.
Emily Blunt wasn't a Hollywood star at the time, but she proves to be a natural talent here, even at the beginning of her acting career. Though there are times where she's alone and doesn't speak, the Quiet Place star has no trouble conveying her mood in every scene.
Clint Mansell's soundtrack is subtly eerie, giving the impression that something terrible is going to happen at any moment, creating a perpetually alarming atmosphere.
However, what really makes Wind Chill endlessly petrifying is the mystery. The danger keeps changing and evolving, so the leads (as well as the audience) have no idea what they're dealing with until the end.
