Plot
editA group of friends stay at a cabin in the popular ski town of Snow Falls for New Year's Eve. A sudden winter storm alert is issued, causing them to remain at the cabin for longer than planned. After the power goes out in the early morning hours on New Year's Day, the group decides to conserve warmth in the living room by the fireplace. With the storm continuing, and no cellphone reception, hypothermia starts to set in causing extreme hallucinations amongst the friends.

Reception
editMarco Vito Oddo of Collider gave the film a grade of "D", criticizing a perceived lack of characterization and frightening horror elements, and concluding: "Snow Falls wastes a compelling premise with a dull script, without complex characters or effective scares to elevate the story."[3] Brian Costello of Common Sense Media gave the film 2/5 stars, writing, "The lack of heat and the lack of sleep leads to delirium and hallucinations, and while it almost gets close to doing something creative with the story, the whole thing comes across as formulaic, with jump scares galore, cheesy hallucinations, and unsatisfying plot twists."[6]
