MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Foreverisacastironmess She's here to make us hurt ain't she!? I think this is a great example of a movie so bad it's good, and there are very few that I can honestly say I enjoy for that reason because I usually find the whole 'B-movie' thing a bit hard to grasp, as I like films that I personally consider fun, not 'bad'. Anyway this definitely ranked among that list right away. It's a very straightforward and ridiculous half-baked horror movie that's only really good for a laugh, and going into it I had no expectations one way or the other, especially after seeing the opening scene, but it soon had me chuckling at it from how joyously goofy and cheap everything about it was, and I just really got into it and found it surprisingly entertaining and a lot of fun to watch. It's one of those trashy horror pictures that are meant to be absurd, and not in that obnoxious obvious way where you're constantly getting little winks to the camera, but in the sense that to an extent it's taking itself seriously, which for me is where a lot of the comedy comes from, especially in the scenes where the ridiculously pretty cast members try to show how scared they are of the Ice Queen. The actors weren't the worst that I've ever seen by a long shot, they handled their lines competently enough. This was surely no easy task when you consider that they had clunker lines like "It's show time in Bitch Town", to contend with! And special kudos to Ami Chorlton's wicked performance as the Ice Queen herself, who is of course at the center of this crazy movie, and is the sole reason why it works. Now here was a right vicious bitch, I don't recall ever seeing another villain quite like her. She's a truck-drivin' mad momma from the Ice Age and she's all p****d-off and bitter cause she hasn't got any in like a million years! Why the hell does she start out in the movie looking like a regular beautiful woman and then turn into blue-fried s**t when she awakes? Who cares, the plot calls for a scary monster woman chasing people around, we got one! Her motivation? We never really know, she just seems to be kind of, evil. She's pretty simple. Archetypal. She just wants those damn humans dead and when she finds a warm body she's like:I need to kill that! Ha, she sounds like a guy! Like everything else in the movie, she pretty much only gets points for camp value. I love all her freaky writhing and the way she always looks like she's power-walking everywhere! I liked her neat method of dispatching her victims by sticking her hand into them and freezing them from the inside-out. And when she meets the one teenager trapped in the avalanche-covered ski resort who steals her heart for some reason she is then driven - she gonna get that f*****g man!!! Why was he so much colder than everybody else? The scene is so totally hilarious where she's acting all coy like she still think she's sexy. You just know they had to have broke up in laughter a few times when they were making that scene! I thought the makeup effects of the character looked great, she was fairly scary. Reminded me of the creatures from the two 80's Demons movies. ::: At first glance it appears to be your typical B-movie and in many ways it is, but to me it rises above that somehow. The most straight-up loony moment is when the crazy scientist nerd person shares a surreal pow-wow moment with the Ice Queen where they both 'roar' in triumph of her victory over a most worthy foe! Recommended if you have a sense of humour and even the slightest appreciation of the lovably bad. It's got the right amount of cheese, charm and snowy madness. Whether they went out to make it purposefully hilarious or not, Ice Queen is just awesome! Look at that sexy beast strut!!

slayrrr666 "Ice Queen" is an enjoyable and entertaining entry without much wrong with it.**SPOILERS**Attacking a military transport, Dr. Goddard, (Daniel Hall Kuhn) manages to recover the Ice Queen, (Ami Chorlton) a specially-preserved woman from the Ice Age. Working at the nearby Snowshed Lodge Ski Resort, Johnny, (Harmon Walsh) and his friends Devlin, (Peter Wyndorf) and Jessie, (Demone Gore) manage to spot the creature's transport plane crash-landing nearby while finishing work for the resort, and it soon traps them together with his fiancée Tori, (Noelle Reno) Audrey, (Tara Walden) and Elaine, (Jennifer Hill) other workers at the resort. With most of the area destroyed in the resulting avalanche, they try to find a way out of the situation, only to realize the reanimated creature is loose on the property and killing them off one-by-one, forcing them into a race for survival against the deadly creature.The Good News: This was a fairly enjoyable and entertaining entry. One of the better features is that the film is far more accomplished with it's big action scenes. This one has several of them in here, and all of them are very good and really fun. The start of it, with the attack on the military transport being quite fun. There's a lot of fantastic action, with some nice gunfights, a great crash that leads into some nice explosions, and throw in a helicopter attack as well as the mystery over what's going on, and in the end it becomes rather fun and exciting. There's also two big skiing scenes that also serve rather well. The first is a rather exciting chase from a resulting avalanche through the valley and finally getting trapped by the rush of snow out on the course, which is a pretty thrilling scene and comes in the middle of nowhere and has no real horrific parts about it, making it work even more. The biggest one, and what is perhaps the highlight of the film, is the second one, which is the crash that sets the whole thing motion. It's a simply spectacular scene, and is far better than what is normally held in these kinds of films, which is where the main impression comes from. Having a scene like this isn't in many other films, so to watch it unfold as it does is a spectacular sight. The best part of it is the length, as there's a lot of stuff in here to get excited over in a five minute extended action sequence. From the crash into the snowbank that sets off the events, to the site of the never-ending snow crashing down and forcing the witnesses into a thrilling chase down the mountain all the way to the way it crashes into the station at the bottom, causing just a ton of damage to everything and forcing it all into a realistic scene by trying to get away from the damage caused. It's exciting and incredibly fast-paced, with a lot of damage and destruction caused to the building and making it all into an exciting and perfectly-placed sequence. There's even more action in here from the multiple encounters with the creature in the hallways to the frenetic moments at the end where the creature is attacking them through the buildings. The look of the creature is pretty good as well, with the fangs, snarled look, blood-red eyes and wild hair make a lasting impression, and the behavior issues put on display do serve the film well. There's even some nice blood and gore in here, what with the wounds from the survivors, scratches across the face, a great impaling through the stomach with a clawed hand and an arm ripped off, though this is far from what should've been in the film. Add in some nice nudity from those well-off to deliver it and an effectively creepy atmosphere, this one was pretty entertaining.The Bad News: There wasn't too many flaws in this one. One of the most noticeable flaws is that the film tends to move along very steadily during it's middle portion. After the plane has crashed, it takes a long time for the film to even get over to the creature and make it out into the slash-fest it eventually becomes, leaving a lot of time to feel quite dull. It never really feels quite as dull or boring as it should've been, because it does stay interesting, but it just doesn't have any big action scenes during that time to keep the momentum going after the incredibly exciting sequences that came before it. The other flaw is the film's rather bland and mostly-bloodless kills. The low body-count notwithstanding, the very few kills here aren't that bloody when initially done and feel more like it's aftermath is the main thing that makes it feel graphic, but when it actually transpires and plays out at the time, it really doesn't have much and really could've used some more, as that would've made it feel a little more complete. These here are what's wrong with the film.The Final Verdict: While not featuring much of anything too wrong, the few minor flaws don't diminish how outright entertaining this one is. Recommended to those who enjoy these B-level kind of movies or who find this one interesting, while those who aren't fans of the style should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a mild Sex Scene

boyinflares Edgewood's "Ice Queen" is an unusual sort of horror, in terms of premise, villain and setting, but combined with an interesting and attractive cast, make for a very cool (excuse the pun) film. Without giving too much away, a prehistoric woman is discovered, and brought back to life, except she is a seemingly mindless creature bent on destruction, who just happens to crash land with the doctor who knows all about her in a small ski-resort town, which becomes buried in an avalanche at the wrong time. Essentially, one could label this in the "monster" sub-genre of horror.However, what sets it aside from many other monster films is a terrific cast, most all rather inexperienced actors, but they portray their characters well, and certainly as characters that you can actually care for. They are never boring, and you know a lot about them. They have issues going on in their lives, which often come to blows during their fight for their lives both against the avalanche and the monster, dubbed appropriately the Ice Queen.Harmon Walsh is an absolute hottie, but he's also a terrific actor making his debut here as Johnny, the hero who finds himself with a big problem (aside from the Ice Queen) when he gets drunk and sleeps with another girl, Elaine, leaving his girlfriend, Tori, rather upset. But Johnny is also very smart, and keeps his head under the pressure that he and his friends find themselves in. Noele Reno plays Tori, rather tame compared to the other vibrant characters, but she gives a good performance. Jennifer Hill on the other hand, who plays Elaine, gives a sassy performance, she's fun and has great hair. In fact, at times you may wonder if Johnny will actually leave Tori for Elaine. Rounding out the cast are Daniel Hall Kuhn as the scientist who knows all about the Ice Queen, he gives a "interesting" performance in more ways than one (look out for his mating ritual with the Ice Queen, eek!), Tara Walden is excellent as the bossy Audrey whose fight with the Ice Queen is great, and both Peter Wyndorf and Demone Gore are very good as Johnny's friends Devlin and Jessie. Ami Chorlton doesn't get to say much as the Ice Queen, and due to all the make up she wears is unrecognisable.With most horrors you can easily predict who is going to survive, unfortunately that is also the case here, for there is such a great group of people that one might find themselves hoping that they all survive. Obviously made on a low-budget, it certainly shows, but that is nearly a given with these sorts of films. However, "Ice Queen" is still a quality film with a different feel to it than other similar monster horrors, with a great cast and some very cool moments (pun intended).

dmurph41 I honestly don't know where to start when summing up this film. Each actor is had the ability to make me instantly hate them both as an actor and a person. They had as much acting talent as a blind man calling balls and strikes. You could've walked down to the nearest grocery store, picked out five people, and told them to act in this film, It would have had the same effect. The special effects looked like they were done by children who had no hands. There are too many goofs to count and the best actor in the film was the dog, and even he screwed up his lines. The moans of the ice queen were equivalent to having actual ice shoved in your ears over and over. This movie was as convincing as trying to tell someone that the blonde's breasts were real. Never see this movie, period.
