Verdict on Centigrade
Centigrade is a thriller based on a true story following an author on a book tour getting frozen in with her husband. They try get find help, however, things get more complicated as they face different challenges.
This is a real slow movie, considering it is already a short movie. It uses the true story to show the difficult situation they find themselves in. However, nothing much happens, a few arguments and the typical panic, but it never feels like a true edge-of-the-seat survivor thriller. It plods along at a painfully slow pace, where nobody tries to do anything to escape.
Final Thoughts –Centigrade is a slow uneventful movie.
