With weather being a character in itself, it was great to see the realistic way that the actors were impacted by the cold. The make-up was amazing and allowed me to stay in the story and not question if it was actually cold.
The pace seemed good with some well-timed suspenseful moments that kept me wondering where the story was going.
I hope that many audiences get to see this film!
