In a world where chill factors reach comedic levels, 'Frostbite Follies' delivers an avalanche of laughs with a smattering of shivers. Director Andrei Tarkovskunk dives into the icy depths of humor with the precision of a polar bear on a seal hunt. Julia Stilts and Bobby Cannoli's on-screen chemistry is as electric as licking a frozen lamppost – shocking, slightly painful, but wholly unforgettable. They deliver performances that skate gracefully between slapstick and sincerity, while Beet Gravy's outrageous survival tactics remind you that laughter is indeed a crucial resource when faced with supernatural Arctic terrors. While the film occasionally slips on its own intentions, swinging like a pendulum between genre extremes, it finds solid ice in its unique blend of scares and snickers. The MPAA rating of 'PG-13' feels like a cozy parka, offering just enough protection to engage younger audiences without numbing the comedic nerves. 'Frostbite Follies' won't trigger a global warming trend in your heart, but it's certainly a pleasantly brisk romp that could kindle the survivalist spirit in us all, and perhaps, just perhaps, it claims the title of the feel-good shiver of the year.
