Blu-Ray Review: Adam Green’s ‘Frozen’ Might Leave You Cold
Submitted by BrianTT on September 28, 2010 - 3:15pmAdam Green is arguably the biggest name in horror right now with “Hatchet II” opening in theaters this month and both “Hatchet” and “Frozen” released on Blu-ray in the last few weeks.

To some, including this horror junkie, the jury is still out. Watching Green’s breakthrough film, now available on Blu-ray, it’s easy to see what people adore about Green and what he still needs to work on.
