2010 Drama/thriller hybrid written and directed by Creator/AdamGreen (the same guy who did ''Film/{{Hatchet}}'') about three young people who end up trapped on a skilift during a snowstorm, with wolves under them and no rescue available for 5 days...
----
!!This movie has examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Parker survives, but will be forever traumatized by this accident.]] [[spoiler:[[IntercontinuityCrossover Later]], she was last seen on the news during ''Film/{{Hatchet}} II'', talking about how she would be suing the ski resort company.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:The reason Dan jumps in the first place.]]
%%* DevelopingDoomedCharacters
* DyingDream: [[spoiler: Subverted. At the end when a car picks up Parker from the side of the road, It's Dan's voice that's talking to her. However in ''Hatchet II'', Parker is on the news talking about her lawsuit against the ski resort.]]
* FinalGirl: [[spoiler:Parker.]]
%%* FollowTheLeader: Obviously a variation on the ''Film/OpenWater'' theme.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Everything that happens or is said during the DevelopingDoomedCharacters part of the film ends up being foreshadowing.
** When Dan says that the worst way to die would be being eaten by a shark and knowing that it was going to happen beforehand, it seems to foreshadow [[spoiler:Dan's death - he sees all the wolves surrounding him, and he ''knows'' that he's screwed.]]
** Parker's talk about how horrible the situation had to be that you know jumping would be better.
* GallowsHumor: The trio sometimes engage in this (notably when Joe is trying to keep Dan calm after [[spoiler:he breaks his legs]]), leading to a few MoodWhiplash moments.
* GoryDiscretionShot:
** [[spoiler:While Dan is eaten alive by wolves]] the camera focuses on Parker and Joe's faces.
** Inverted when the film decides to show you [[spoiler:Dan's twisted, bloody, and broken legs after jumping off the ski-lift, and when it shows Joe's mutilated corpse after he gets devoured.]]
* JumpScare: The first wolf appearance.
%%* MenAreTheExpendableGender
* OhCrap: Dan, when he hears the wolf howling.
* PottyFailure: Parker is eventually forced to go in her ski suit.
* RealityIsUnrealistic:
** People complained that people could ''never'' be forgotten on a chairlift... but it has actually happened. In truth, many ski resorts take extra steps to prevent such incidents from happening, like stopping loading after marking a chair with a cone or by flipping up the seats of every chair after a certain last chair. Of course, this wouldn't work if workers were bribed to look the other way.
** The wolves' behavior is realistic, too. What might be slightly unbelievable is their ''presence''.
* SavageWolves: A number of predatory wolves are waiting to devour the protagonists. [[spoiler: Ultimately, they eat Dan.]]
%%* ScreamingWoman: Parker.
* ShoutOut: The names of the two male leads are names of two of Adam Green's friends. Joe also says that the worst way to die is being eaten by a shark and knowing it, a possible ShoutOut to ''Film/OpenWater''. Also, the [[StarWars Sarlacc Pit]] is mentioned during the "worst way to die" conversation.
* SickeningCrunch: [[spoiler:Can be heard when Dan breaks his legs... and again, repeatedly, when he's desperately trying to reach for the makeshift tourniquets thrown down to him.]]
* SenselessSacrifice : [[spoiler: Dan jumps down from the ski lift and breaks his legs. He was then devoured by wolves that neither had any idea were there and Dan had overestimated his abilities. It was all for nothing.]]
* TakeThat: The guy on the 'Missing' poster is a crew member on Adam Green's former movies who couldn't join him for the filming of ''Frozen''.
* TemptingFate: Joe makes a joke about taking on wolves. [[spoiler:Later in the movie, he is killed by them.]]
* TooDumbToLive: One more ride seconds before the resort closes for ''five days'' with ''a snowstorm approaching''. After they get stuck, they don't bother to zip up their coats even when frostbite starts to peel off their skin. [[spoiler: They decide to jump straight down first before trying to climb the cable to safety. Also, Parker sticking her bare hand on the rail overnight so she wakes up to find it frozen to the metal instead of just putting her hand in her coat could be this, but, to be fair, she could have accidentally put her hand on the rail in her sleep.]]
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer (and the back of the DVD cover) spoils the fact that [[spoiler:Dan breaks his legs.]]
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: Parker more or less implies this about Joe, which she quickly gets called out for. Somewhat {{justified|Trope}}, as she's grief-stricken at the time, and she apologises afterwards.
