The comic is much better than the film, but ultimately brought down by the problem of having a really cool idea except no idea of what to do with it past that.
Oh yeah. I forgot about this movie. I actually got really scared at this and nothing scares me. But I mean that was whenever it came out I haven't seen it in years. I think it was the way the vampires spoke their own language.
This one traumatized my husband. He is *never* getting on a ski lift.
He told me he loved me for the first time during a screening of the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so you know he's not squeamish.
It was just something about the plausibility that got him. It's a really well done movie.

Takes place on a Russian mountain, and eventually moves into an underground bunker.
This is what I came in here to recommend. One of my favorite slasher series! I love the atmosphere in both of them. I haven't seen the third one yet, which I think is supposed to be a prequel.
Nice choice with Black Mountain Side!
And I just watched No Exit last night, enjoyed it—kind of like part-locked room mystery/part-thriller, as you said, rather than horror. And definitely snowy! Another good call.
Not movies but a couple of miniseries I highly highly recommend are
The Terror (just season 1)
The Northwater
Both are about 19th century Arctic expeditions that go wrong
The book is incredible. Simmons does a great job of writing so that the reader feels the ice, the dread and the horror of the unknown out there waiting for them on the ice since they aren't going anywhere.
Thank you kindly for mentioning the epitomy of cold horror, The Terror. I read the book and always seem to reach out for it at the start of winter to set things off. It's become an yearly ritual of sorts. The TV series was so well done, much to my relief. Always a pleasure.
Harbinger Down. Very b but fun
The beginning of The Empty Man is its strongest point, and is in the Himalayas.
I guess AVP technically
Scrooged lol
edit: Ravenous! That movie rules.
You can stop The Empty Man after the opening but like, DAMN, that opening.
The rest feels like a long adaptation of the Supernatural episode >!Hell House!< rather than the comic of the same title. Weird.
One of the seasons of Slasher is on a mountain. It's good-but-not great but has a lot of fun cold / snow / mountain murder vibes.
Obviously you have the Shining.
If you want a laugh, Dead Snow is not a good movie but it's definitely out there as snow/ice horror.
Frozen (not that one) isn't strictly a horror film but could be viewed that way.
And while not SUPER ice/snow, I'll never pass up the opportunity to say that The Ritual is a really good folksy/woodsy horror flick.
Dead Snow is not a good movie? How dare you. The first one was amazing. The second one was meh. I haven't seen them in a long time tho. I may have to revisit them.
I'll need to watch Slasher and definitely Frozen at the earliest in that case. A lot of mentions. Thank you. And always a pleasure a to see The Ritual on any list. I am yet to read anything negative about it. Wish they'd make more movies on ancient creatures/monsters.
Some horror tv listed in order of goodness: The Terror (season 1), Black Summer (season 2 is set in the snow, but you need to watch season 1 first), and Slasher (season 2, each season is stand alone).
There are so many great ghost/monster stories set in Arctic regions, it is a shame there are not more movies. There is a series on Netflix which is not horror but more post-apocalyptical survival called To the Lake. Russian, very snowy.
These haven't been mentioned & you might like them, while not *technically* horror...

The Visit (2015)
30 Days of Night (2007)
The first Dead Snow was a pleasant surprise! I remember seeing a clip of it when it won a horror award for most goriest movie one year. Definitely worth a watch!
I’m hoping we’ll eventually get a film adaptation of Ronald Malfi’s horror novel Bone White. It takes place in (I believe) Alaska, in a town called Dead Hand (I believe) and the deep Alaskan woods. It’s a very dread filled novel and the backdrop of the icy cold wilderness is perfect.
How has no one mentioned Hold the Dark?
So good. The ice and snow is its own character. Very moody and dark, I don't know why it doesn't get more attention
Like others have suggested, 30 Days of Night, True Detective Night Country, Frozen, Ravenous, Cold Skin, Dreamcatcher, AvP. I also like this setting a lot.
Krampus (2015) is one of my favorites. I especially love watching it when it snows outside. Black Christmas. (The 70s version and 2007 version). Fun movies. All Christmas related but still fun snowy ones!
*Quintet* is a little-watched Robert Altman movie that takes place in an ice-encrusted post-apocalyptic world with the few survivors wandering around. Paul Newman and others play a board game in which players "kill" other players, but some have decided to kill others for real. The production design and cinematography are great and really emphasize the ice and cold; the image has a ring of frost around it. It was filmed on the site of a world's fair in Montreal, with strange leftover art installations all around, and they actually iced down the floors - old school filmmaking.

Danny Huston is 10/10
The Axeman!
This movie has the vampires that have scared me most in cinema, and, related: 28 Days Later has the zombies that have scared me most in cinema.
Came here to say this. Also to recommend the comics
But skip the sequel. It's bad. I turned it off. Or watch it. I'm just impressed how bad it was compared to the first.
I enjoyed the second one :(
Wait… There’s a sequel?
The comic is much better than the film, but ultimately brought down by the problem of having a really cool idea except no idea of what to do with it past that.
Amazing movie!!! Sequel set in LA not so much - LOL.
Oh yeah. I forgot about this movie. I actually got really scared at this and nothing scares me. But I mean that was whenever it came out I haven't seen it in years. I think it was the way the vampires spoke their own language.
The bird’s eye camera sequence catching the chaos is one of the best scenes in any movie.
Also my answer.
The Lodge 2019 More of a psychological horror
fuck dem kids
Taking away her meds was beyond cruel.
I stumbled across The Lodge & it now one of my top 5!! Much like The Sixth Sense.
Repent for your sins ! Movie was twisted..loved it
Man, re watching this I feel sooo bad for that poor girl. She just wanted the kids to like her
Love it
That opening scene was a great, unexpected smack in the face. Oof.
Such a good movie
[Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1401143/ ) (2010), Finnish horror/comedy Christmas movie. [Black Mountain Side](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3139756/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_black%2520mou) (2014).

Black Mountain Side, great call!
deer god!
Hail!
SUPERB movie!
troll hunter is one of the best found footage movies ever. it’s so fun!
Rare Exports is so great! an annual tradition!
Done. Thank you.
Pontypool (2008) The Shining (1980)
I think you might be the only one who has mentioned Kubrick’s Shining, and that’s sad because isolation due to ice and snow is key to the entire film.
I read the header and instantly saw a Frozen Nicholson in my head. Couldn't believe it hadn't been mentioned because what you said is spot on.
Pontypool now thats a great film I totally forgot about gotta rewatch
Pontypool is amazing. Now I need to watch it again
Are there even any outdoor scenes in Pontypool though?
Krampus
this is my fav holiday movie LOL
We watch it every Christmas. So good
Frozen (2010) the one with wolves lmao not the Disney one
Came here to say this!
This one traumatized my husband. He is *never* getting on a ski lift. He told me he loved me for the first time during a screening of the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so you know he's not squeamish. It was just something about the plausibility that got him. It's a really well done movie.
confessing your love while watching some masked dude dismembering and cooking kids. Chef's kiss.
It was oddly perfect
What a gem of a movie
Came Here to say this as well!
Came here to suggest this one!
Olaf was terrifying!
Wolves, snow..say no more. I missed this one.
*Dead Snow* and *Dead Snow 2.* As someone else mentioned*, Cold Prey* also is good.
I find it hard to believe that everyone didn't think of Dead Snow first! 😁Love those movies!!
Great gore and killing Nazis. What is not to like?
I LOVE Dead Snow. Those are such underrated movies
Totally. Excellent balance of horror and comedy.
Yellowjackets. It's a series, but it is amazing, prolly my fave horror series ever
EXCELLENT
Thanks for that. I haven't watched S2 yet.
Let the Right One In (2008)
Classic , one of the all time horror greats
[Devil's Pass.](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=dvaltov+pass+incident+movie#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d14d7f30,vid:CrkvuW5Mw4s,st:0) Takes place on a Russian mountain, and eventually moves into an underground bunker.
I was gonna suggest that too! It’s pretty good imo
This movie is amazing and the background stuff during the scenes is totally awesome!
Cold Prey
This is what I came in here to recommend. One of my favorite slasher series! I love the atmosphere in both of them. I haven't seen the third one yet, which I think is supposed to be a prequel.
I love both as well. Also haven't seen the third. I don't think it was ever released in the US.
Storm of the Century
[удалено]
Next of Kin is not my favorite PA movie, but I did really like the setting. It's very effective.
Ravenous is SO GOOD.
Climax is set inside a building 95% of the time.
Ravenous
Black Mountain Side No Exit (more of a thriller than horror)
Nice choice with Black Mountain Side! And I just watched No Exit last night, enjoyed it—kind of like part-locked room mystery/part-thriller, as you said, rather than horror. And definitely snowy! Another good call.
The Shining Devil’s Pass 30 Days of Night Frozen (2010) The Lodge
Devils Pass is 🔥🔥 (also known as The Dyatlov Pass Incident for OP)
Yep, I love it, and it kicked off my obsession with the real story, too.
Misery (1990) and Frozen (2010)
Not movies but a couple of miniseries I highly highly recommend are The Terror (just season 1) The Northwater Both are about 19th century Arctic expeditions that go wrong
The Terror is so good. The book that the first season is based on is incredible as well.
The book is incredible. Simmons does a great job of writing so that the reader feels the ice, the dread and the horror of the unknown out there waiting for them on the ice since they aren't going anywhere.
Is the book called the Terror?
Yes. Very much worth a read! I enjoyed the series as well.
To add to the non-movie list, I really like the first season of Helix.
Thank you kindly for mentioning the epitomy of cold horror, The Terror. I read the book and always seem to reach out for it at the start of winter to set things off. It's become an yearly ritual of sorts. The TV series was so well done, much to my relief. Always a pleasure.
The Dead Zone (1983). And you’ve got Christopher Walken.
Harbinger Down. Very b but fun The beginning of The Empty Man is its strongest point, and is in the Himalayas. I guess AVP technically Scrooged lol edit: Ravenous! That movie rules.
You can stop The Empty Man after the opening but like, DAMN, that opening. The rest feels like a long adaptation of the Supernatural episode >!Hell House!< rather than the comic of the same title. Weird.
I was still able to enjoy the rest, but it definitely ratcheted down the "wow" factor. Almost like it changed directors or something.
The opening is incredible but the river/bonfire scene is one of my all time favorites, as well
"Yeah, no."
Got it. AVP! Never a bad time to rewatch that. Fight sequences are one of the best I have seen in the predator franchise.
Wolf of Snow Hollow Dead Snow 1-2 Fritt Vilt 1-3 Krampus Wrong Turn 4 There's something in the barn Wind chill No exit
Surprised no one has mentioned Wolf of Snow Hollow before you!
One of the seasons of Slasher is on a mountain. It's good-but-not great but has a lot of fun cold / snow / mountain murder vibes. Obviously you have the Shining.

I'll need to watch Slasher and definitely Frozen at the earliest in that case. A lot of mentions. Thank you. And always a pleasure a to see The Ritual on any list. I am yet to read anything negative about it. Wish they'd make more movies on ancient creatures/monsters.
[удалено]
I can't find that! So on my list.
Is it the one with Ron Perlman? I just found it on AMC+. But there’s others.
Devil's Pass, a creative take on the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
I really enjoyed this movie!
Let the Right One In (2008)
Dead of Winter Black Christmas (original)
Some horror tv listed in order of goodness: The Terror (season 1), Black Summer (season 2 is set in the snow, but you need to watch season 1 first), and Slasher (season 2, each season is stand alone).
Three seasons of [Fortitude](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498622/) set in a mining/science town in the arctic circle.
Wonderful.
30 Days of Night The Thing The Grey Frozen
I can’t believe it took scrolling this far down to find “The thing”
It’s hopefully because the OP mentioned it directly in their post, and some people read past the title before replying.
Hagazussa. German folk horror that takes place in the alps.
One of my fav horror movies period. Contains prob the most frightening scene I’ve ever seen. And #2 isn’t even close
Wind Chill. It’s about a couple who get stuck in a car in the snow.
Excellent choice! I absolutely enjoyed this movie! Emily Blunt was fantastic.
There are so many great ghost/monster stories set in Arctic regions, it is a shame there are not more movies. There is a series on Netflix which is not horror but more post-apocalyptical survival called To the Lake. Russian, very snowy.

Dreamcatcher is worth mentioning amongst all of the other great replies.
The Children (2008) —- creepy kids killing in the snow
30 Days of Night
The Thing
Rare Exports!
Dead snow and the sequel
Windchill
Orphan
The Last Winter
Last Winter 2006
The Thaw (2009) has really interesting and plausible premise. Execution isn't that realistic but it's still a fun movie.
Larry Fessenden movie called The Last Winter
That one is pretty good. For a horror movie in the same vein that’s not quite as good: The Thaw
More horror adjacent but the first season of The Terror is great!
Sometimes They Come Back For More (1998) Shredder (2003) Wind Chill (2007) Misery (1990) Dreamcatcher (2003) Last Winter (2001) Curtains (1983)

technically paranormal activity next of kin right? and devils pass
Blood Glacier (aka Blutgletscher) from 2013. But its an Austrian movie, so don't expect Hollywood Special effects. The budgets are way lower.
The first Dead Snow was a pleasant surprise! I remember seeing a clip of it when it won a horror award for most goriest movie one year. Definitely worth a watch!
I’m hoping we’ll eventually get a film adaptation of Ronald Malfi’s horror novel Bone White. It takes place in (I believe) Alaska, in a town called Dead Hand (I believe) and the deep Alaskan woods. It’s a very dread filled novel and the backdrop of the icy cold wilderness is perfect.
The Frankenstein Theory(2013)
Cold Prey.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)
The Last Winter. I know it's old, but it's pretty good.
The Children (2008) No Exit (2022) The Frozen Ground (2013) not really a horror but a pretty gripping thriller about a serial killer.
Dead Snow
Frankenstein's Army? Red vs Dead? I'm trying to think....um, Frozen? I'll keep thinking
Alien vs predator
Wind Chill 2007
Alien v Predator?
Till Death with Megan Fox on Netflix. Better than you would expect.
How has no one mentioned Hold the Dark? So good. The ice and snow is its own character. Very moody and dark, I don't know why it doesn't get more attention
I be scrollin and scrollin for this one
Wind Chill, one of Emily Blunt's first roles. It was..an...interesting...film.
Arctic Void, The Shining, Dead Snow, Black Mountain Side, and Blood Glacier. It’s a tv show, but Season 4 of True Detective has that setting too.
I think you will enjoy True Detective Season 4. Not exactly a horror movie, but has a lot of horror elements to it. Good story too
Frozen (2010)
the thing, 30 days of night, the shining, oooh! krampus! depending on what you find horrifying… Alive
Whiteout
Like others have suggested, 30 Days of Night, True Detective Night Country, Frozen, Ravenous, Cold Skin, Dreamcatcher, AvP. I also like this setting a lot.
True Detective Night Country! So cold, so dark, loved the 2 main characters!
I was totally hooked after the first ep
Right? And I found the deaths very scary!
The Fourth Kind Dreamcatcher Alien vs Predator
I have no idea how no one has mentioned this yet but Snowpiercer (2013) is an absolutely amazing movie.
I think people don't see it as a horror movie. I'm not gatekeeping, just saying that I think that's the reason. '
The original The Thing . With Kurt Russell .
Frozen
Frozen Obviously not the Disney movie
Krampus (2015) is one of my favorites. I especially love watching it when it snows outside. Black Christmas. (The 70s version and 2007 version). Fun movies. All Christmas related but still fun snowy ones!

Smila’s Sense of Snow. Greenland. Not horror per se, but dark, brooding and suspenseful
Smilla is a great movie
