That sounds pretty spooky, but this dramatic thriller is more of a character piece than anything else.....Pearce seems to be having fun with the character.....And the most watchable aspect may be Australian actor Guy Pearce, who's pretty much playing a remorseless slimeball..... ... Full Review

it follows a shattered Guy Pearce, yet Christopher Nolan's film was far more daring.....Nevertheless, this journey through one man's battered psyche drives First Snow towards a satisfyingly shocking (and somewhat existentialist) conclusion.....Some startlingly beautiful compositions of the stark desert and snow-covered panoramas add to the aesthetic appeal of the film.... ...

A bit more pizzazz might have proven a benefit, but I still feel the film feels confident all the way through with a haunting final image worthy of a bit of conversation.
Obvious complaints would be that the film might play it a bit too low-key - where even the climax of the pic, while tense, moseys on by with no intention of hurrying.
