I saw this at a screening at my local Alamo Drafthouse, billed as a "so bad it's good" 80s cheesefest, and it did not disappoint. Make no mistake about it, this is a TERRIBLE movie. But it's so ridiculous it'll leave you entertained as hell as long as you know what you're getting into. It's a gem.

I was surprised just how good this movie was. A group of friends reunite for a get together at a lodge in the snow. We get to know these people, whether grudge holders, wild girls, vain types, through a generous amount of screen time. One of them a real arsehole, forces himself on a girl. You know he's really gonna buy it bad as this group is picked off one by one in satisfying scenes of gore for the horror viewer. One of their late amigos got drunk crazy, one night, and challenged another guy to a race, where the friend died, years earlier. Did he really die and come back for revenge? The ones left, start to suspect other people in the group, and have good reason to, so in the thriller stakes, this is a nifty little chiller. They make friends with another skier who runs the place, and could be the key to the identity. The reasons for the killer's motives I truly bought. An after ending scene, that takes place years later, the surviving couple who now have a child, are watching him build a snow man, when you know. This too leaves the mind wandering, "Is our nut is still out there?". As a low budget cheapie, Iced is one you shouldn't write off. A pretty decent horror, with a pretty decent cast too.

Really, the 80's cheese is the only thing this movie has going for it. I won't give anything away, but it's really predictable. The acting is terrible, the camera work is terrible, the script is terrible, the editing is terrible. The MOVIE is terrible.I highly recommend watching this movie only if:(a) you enjoy making fun of terrible movies (b) you watch it with several other people who like making fun of terrible movies (c) you are not entirely sober (d) you enjoy suffering from boredom and bad acting (e) all of the above.This movie is terrible. Am I repeating myself? Trust me, it's worth repeating. I've seen worse, but still... Whoof. Not good.

I would love to write a thorough analysis of this slasher opus, but the time it has taken me to write this sentence alone, is worth more of your time then sitting through this pile of "insert censored word here".TRUST ME, having your eyes gouged out by plastic spoons is more enjoyable then watching the pathetic actors bench press spices, ski supposedly downhill on a flat terrain, and die rather bloodlessly and ridiculously. Oh yeah, a plot twist is thrown in...but you won't care, I didn't. "Iced" is not even funny on a so bad it's good level. A miserable experience.
