I just saw this movie on the sci-fi channel last night, and it was really cool. I'm a big fan of the film-maker, and this is one that I missed.Admittedly the script seemed to have some problems, perhaps too much ex-positional dialogue, but then again it was structured as sort of a 50's style creature feature, and given the film's obviously low budget, maybe that was an aesthetic choice. Anyway, they kept the film moving at a good pace.The performances were pretty damned good too, considering there wasn't anyone in the cast that I'd ever seen in a movie before.The big breasted German babe was fine, (wish we could've seen her boobs though).Other than that, it had some great rubber monsters! A lot better than all that bad CGI crap you see now days. These cool bug creatures, (mutated, prehistoric Trilobites) about the size of a dog seemed to be running around all over the place. Don't now how they did it, but they looked great. I thought the film was a hell of a lot of fun.

A scientific group in the south pole find themselves being killed one by one by a monster . This premise is similar in many ways to THE THING but whereas John Carpenter had its strengths - Most notably its downbeat depressing atmosphere - DEEP FREEZE is an extremely dumb movie with very poor production values , the script is nothing you haven`t seen before , the acting is unconvincing but worst of all is the monster which resembles a big rubber beetle . If I remember correctly there`s a scene where someone is attacked and it`s obvious the actor`s holding onto a rubber prop while screaming . I might have a false memory of this scene because DEEP FREEZE is instantly forgettable . I can clearly remember a scene with footage of a real insect superimposed over the action though I`m curious as to how many reviewers on this page who`ve put the boot into DEEP FREEZE are fans of horror movies ? I`m not really a fan of the genre myself since most horror movies like this one suffer from a dumb script and substandard production values . If you don`t like that sort of thing you`ll certainly hate this movie . If you`re a horror die hard you may only dislike DEEP FREEZE

I don't know why people are knocking this movie. It's one of the best BAD MOVIES I've ever had the uncomfortable pleasure of watching. There was nothing *intentionally* good about this movie. Even German-born Götz Otto's accent seemed fake. It's that bad...or good. I actually had to rewind some of the attack scenes because I couldn't stop laughing.This movie ranks highly in my Bad Cinema collection, right alongside The Fantastic Four (1994), Captain America (1991), and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002).***SPOILER ALERT***Speaking of laughing at effects, the Big Mama Bug at the end was so funny I nearly soiled myself.

For the love of God, people please do NOT see this movie!I can honestly say that this is the worst movie I've seen to date (and I'm a big fan of B-Movie horror films!).The storyline is basically non-existent and I found myself having to *force* myself to watch the film through to the end. The creature effects are very poor (until about the last 5-10 minutes, and even then they're worse than something from Buffy), and the death scenes are the worst I've ever seen (and let's face it, in this kind of movie, the death scenes are all you watch 'em for).Overall, a BAD movie (and not in the "bad, but amusing cheesy" way). Stay well clear! And don't say you weren't warned....
