Adam Green was the director of this movie. He uses mise-en-scene, camera movement and camera angle film techniques to grab the audience attention. Audience takes time to wait the exciting part of the movie. All the bloody shoot audience can see clear and had been focus. But there are still a few boring part when Parker and Joe argue on the chairlift. It was a nice movie for Malaysian who never been in the winter. It really shows the people suffer from the cold temperature. Not as fun as we imagine.
