Almost always, you can expect the worst when a studio dumps a film without advance screenings. But the well-crafted thriller Wind Chill, with rising star Emily Blunt, is the very rare case where somebody (in this case, Sony) goofed.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Well before day breaks, it's the movie's plot (which would have made for an outstanding Outer Limits episode) that has come to seem stuck in an endless loop.
Wind Chill, for all its flaws, is an often spooky and imaginative ghost story that contains a genuine creepiness.
A moody, spooky tale, rendered with laudable economy.
Wind Chill blows into increasingly nightmarish and ludicrous territory, introducing frostbitten ghouls, priestly apparitions, a nasty cop, and a cycle of hallucinations.
