Wind Chill (DVD)

When the Christmas holidays arrive, a college student finds herself without a ride home and opts to check the campus notice board to see if anyone has one to offer. When she finds a name and number that seems to be going her way, she scribbles down the number, makes the call and arranges to meet in the car park on December 23rd.
