Mad scientists turn people into frozen zombies and the zombies wreak havoc and kill people.

A couple of mad scientists are trying to find the secret of immortality, so abduct and kill folks, plant these chips in their necks, and bring them back to life as murderous zombies who are kept on ice when they aren't embarking on killing sprees. Young lass Ann Girard (a hopelessly awful performance by fetching brunette Lynne Kocol) decides to investigate things, but naturally only places herself in great jeopardy in the process.Man, does this astonishing atrocity possess all the right wrong stuff to rate highly as a real four-star stinkeroonie: We've got seriously bungled (non)direction by Frank Roach, wonky sound complete with obvious dubbed-in-post dialogue, a rambling nonsensical story that unfolds at a plodding pace, tacky gore, crazy guys running around in cowls (one of these guys offs a cute hound dog at one point!), a cheesy synthesizer score, ragged editing, rough cinematography, a goofy nightmare sequence, loads of tedious talk, ineptly staged murder set pieces, dreadful acting by a lame no-name cast (Rene Harmon as the evil Dr. Lil Stanhope cops the top thespic dishonors thanks to her off-center line readings and thick borderline incomprehensible Teutonic accent), clumsy overuse of narration to fill in gaping plot holes, a band at a Halloween party performing an incredible ditty called "Jack Around the Shack," and even a surprise bummer nihilistic ending. A real schlocky hoot.

'Our ... minds play ... strange tricks ... on ... us.' By the time you get to this line (or rather, if you make it as far as this) congratulate yourself for sitting through perhaps one of the most insanely bad horror films ever made. This film is so bad, it makes stuff like 'Blood Shack' look like a masterpiece of tension and suspense. What actually steals the show in 'Frozen Scream' is the soundtrack. For sure, this is one soundtrack you will never forget. In fact, the farting synth sounds are quite practical as they rouse you when you're starting to fade away. And believe me you will fade away during this one... For the casual viewer this is one to avoid, but I guess there must be about ten of you out there who will take that as a recommendation. (In that case enjoy, because really guys this IS that bad ;) Lovely, in an insane sort of way.

The movie sets off with a very complex scenario that requires extended narration to explain. This narration along with the dialogue is fairly well written, however, it's sure to make you roll your eyes as you've heard all the lines before in pre-seventies horror and sci-fi. The acting is some of the poorest I've seen and I watch a lot of b-horror. It's like the actors are not even trying.I can compare this movie to well loved bad films like "Asylum of Satan" and "The Devil's Rain" which are full of cool elements and atmosphere, but are extremely run-of-the-mill when it comes to plot. "Frozen Scream" has got some cool flashbacks to weird cult-like activity involving nudity. There is some pretty good gore including self-mutilation. I love the genre of 70's trash and if you do too I highly recommend this movie. I don't think it's so easy to track down. It could have become a cult hit, but it must have slipped through the cracks. My copy of the video pairs "Frozen Scream" with "Executioner II" as a double feature. "Executioner II", from the same man who brought us this film, is one of those movies about a Nam vet who returns to America and then cleans up the streets by killing pimps and criminals.
