Ice Queen Trailers

A unique female specimen from the Pleistocene Age, a.k.a. the Ice Age, is kept in cryogenic stasis while being transported back to civilization in a military convoy. When the convoy is raided by mercenaries who move the specimen onto a plane, the "Ice Queen" awakens in an uncontrollably aggressive state and kills the pilot, causing the plane to crash into a resort. Having survived the crash, the Ice Queen embarks on a rampage throughout the resort, forcing the survivors into a desperate battle for survival.

ICE QUEEN is one of the worst films I've seen in a few weeks. The story involves a bunch of characters holed up in a ski resort prone to avalanches (provided thanks to stock footage from an earlier disaster flick) who find a monster in their midst when a government plane crashes into the mountain, carrying a cryogenically frozen creature with a penchant for human blood.What follows is one of the silliest, cheesiest and dumbest movies you've seen in a while. There are silicon-enhanced actresses delivering terrible performances all over the shop, and the guys are hardly any better. The look of the ice queen is poor, and the kill scenes are cheesy rather than effective. In short, there's really no reason to watch this movie, because everything about it is sub par and at an amateur level. The only way it scrapes a two star rating is because it's faster paced than some of the other trash I've watched.

This was so bad that If it hadn't included a hot tub scene with Jennifer Hill, it would have been one of the worst movies of all time.It has a good monster in The Ice Queen, but she was wasted with her incessant screaming, and the set just didn't allow her to really develop. The battle with Audrey (Tara Walden) was set up for a promising scene, but it just didn't develop.There was really no one you could care about in this film. It really didn't matter who came out. The pair that did were probably the least likable.Despite giving us her all in that hot tub, Elaine (Hill) didn't fare too well.

Ice Queen starts as a military convoy is attacked by someone or other, the film doesn't think such details are important so why should we, & a unique prehistoric humanoid shaped female Ice Queen (Ami Chorlton) creature recently discovered is stolen. Scientist Dr. Goddard (Daniel Hall Kuhn) decides to transport the Ice Quen to somewhere not far from the Snowshed Ski Resort Lodge by plane, unfortunately the cold temperature outside revives the Ice Queen & she kills the pilot, the plane crashes, causes an avalanche which buries the ski lodge trapping Johnny (Harmon Walsh) & his buddies. Besides having to survive the avalanche Johnny & his buddies also have to contend with the Ice Queen who kills on sight...Co-edited, co-written & directed by Neil Kinsella this is yet another brainless straight-to-video/DVD low budget piece of crap horror film with lots of unintentional comedic moments. The script by Kinsella, producer Peter Beckwith & David Williams is boring, dull, clichéd & full of plot holes. The whole Ice Queen thing is wrong, no explanation is given as to what she is, when the equipment in the back of the plane stops working there would have been all sorts of alarms going off as is the case with medical equipment, if Ed phoned the emergency services to report an avalanche they couldn't just say 'we don't believe you' & not bother to investigate, the emergency services are obliged by law to respond to a call for help & that's a basic fact. I could go on but you get the idea, the script is dumb & had little thought put into it. The character's are awful, they do stupid things, they split up, no-one seems that bothered about being trapped under an avalanche of snow or that some of their mates have been killed & are dead & they are just plain annoying. The film seems to go on for ages, it's boring, it's predictable, it's stupid & it's not a film I enjoyed.Director Kinsella doesn't do much to liven things up, the direction is poor & the film has pacing problems. The Ice Queen herself is awful, she has these spastic looking exaggerated movements, she stares, sneers & wiggles her tongue at the camera & she just looks retarded. It's not scary, there's no excitement, tension or atmosphere. There's no gore either, someone has their hand pulled off, there are several scenes of the Ice Queen sticking her hand into people's chests & that's it. I will admit though that the avalanche scene is quite well done even though it steals footage from the film Avalanche (1999) so I can't give it that much credit since the best sequence in the film was at least in part stolen from another film. Also, when Johnny & his mates crawl out of that air vent at the end there's no snow anywhere & the ground is dry, where did the snow that covered the building go all of a sudden? Also, why didn't the avalanche destroy the jacuzzi & who left it on?Technically the film is alright, it's nothing special but it's reasonably well made. Apparently shot in Vermont. The special effects are OK & better than a lot of low budget horror films of recent times. The acting is poor by no-one you've ever heard of.Ice Queen is one of those dumb low budget shot on a camcorder type horror flicks the kind everyone seems to think they can make. I didn't like it & I doubt many will.

Watched the movie through my free pay-per-view cable subscription. I would have definitely not purchased this movie. I needed to kill about 1 1/2 have hours but was only was able to stomach about 3/4 of the movie. Special effects were like 1950's Godzilla. The movie viewers were intoduced to the monster during a sequence where a poor copy of a Cobra Gun Ship helicopter, attacked a military convoy carrying the monster in a 55 gallon drum. Why was the military transporting an archaeological find? Why Am I so concerned by this? The acting in this movie was similar to low budget B movies. Got a big laugh when my son compared the ICE QUEEN Monster to BeetleJuice. The monster, to me, looked like a combination of BeetleJuice and the Monster from SPECIES. There was a little entertaining T&A but not worthy of the lousy dialog, lack of plot and cheesy special effects. Stay away. Please Stay away.
