In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This movie has just started on the Horror Channel. It seemed familiar and it was. I suffered the pain of this dark (lighting) bleak (Plot and script) a couple of years ago and I am still wearing the plasters. The three stars are Michael Rooker who was ever reliable but what he was doing in this cheap drivel? I will never know. New furniture?? The icy desolate waste is probably a metaphor or the commissioning suits minds although adequate for the movie.I cannot go too far into all the performances but the supporting cast were keen if nothing else. I have also have seen some pretty cheap effects when watching Z rated creature features, and some are very good, but this one really had me in stitches. Spend £20 and make it look like £9. Someone is missing a wet suit and flippers.Even for hard core horror fans (we have watched some rubbish) give it a wide one unless you want to chuckle at the rubber beastie.
This sound like something I would like , This movie could have really good as it had a decent plot The movie was not that long , it was only about 72 min long , which is kinda of short for a horror movie.I liked that we get know some stuff about people and we care for them and I liked the fact we get to see there the under ice 1st I think this movie was bit bloodily not gory and I think the acting was really good.The only major think wrong in this movie was silly creature , i it was so bad it was actually funny I am going to give this movie 4 out of 10
Ray (Rooker) and Helen (Baker) have planned a day ice fishing with their son David (Forster) and his girlfriend Gina (Amy Chang) on a frozen lake. The family is interrupted by a loudmouth father Steve (Wood) and his son Stevie Jr. (Greg Finley) who make noise and scare the fish away. A confrontation is avoided when Ray accepts the invite for beers at their portable trailer that they have parked on the ice. Stevie Jr. is pulled into the water and is bit by a creature that no one sees. Ray and Helen urge the father to gets his son to a doctor but he refuses. The families soon realize they are up against a creature that is below the ice that is looking at them as prey. Writer/Director James Felix McKenney sets up this story well with Rooker as a good guy for once and then lets us down completely when the monster under the ice is revealed. The only way to describe the man in the wet suit with some fake looking teeth and googly eyes would be to say this is 1958 and this was all the filmmakers could come up with. The problem is its 2011, and all though no one wants to see another crappy CGI monster wrecking another movie, someone should have said 'no' when this was decided on. The movie manages to have some fun anyway benefiting from the decent set up, and one well timed jolt that comes when David is killed. Everything is taken seriously and then the stupid looking creature shows up and ruins everything.
This movie is about a family on an ice fishing vacation. On a lake where something supernatural, prehistoric, or just plain stupid, is the top predator.Yeah, this movie is bad. I don't really remember too many details because I lost interest the very first time I caught a glimpse of the tall, lanky retard in the sh**ty, cheap Halloween costume. The acting is bad. Hell, there were a few occurrences where the same person was called 3 different characters names. In one scene, the son is called David (I think that was the characters name), Stevie (a completely different character in the same scene), and Cody I think. Then 30 seconds later, they call the dad all the same things. Hell, the hot little Asian chick refers to Mr. Pelletier (Michael Rooker) as Mr. Cote on more than one occasion. Cote was the father and son they meet on the lake. The effects were miserable. The creature effects, the special effects, any effect in this p.o.s. was just embarrassing. Seriously, the monster in this looked like either a terrible costume or a cheap bondage (whatever it's called). This movie is bad. Avoid this at all costs. Seriously, if it comes down to it, sell your kid into slavery just to not have to watch this crap.
