Frozen 2010-seriously dark. Stuck on a ski lift.

Dead of Winter 1987- A forgotten Mary Steenburgen gem. An actress is hired under false pretenses.

ATM 2012-Also a Christmas film! 3 people trapped in an ATM after their Christmas party.

All are on Prime right now.

A Simple Plan (the book) is even more shocking. An incredibly well-crafted tale.

Scott Smith is really good at writing books about people turning on each other, but The Ruins adaption was far less successful than A Simple Plan.

I like them both. I thought The Ruins film was the best adaptation it could get, b/c the premise is actually ridiculous. I liked that the end seems hopeful, but it's actually terrible.

Tucker and Malone are particularly great in it.

I wish Smith would write more novels.
