Truly Dreadful Film
Best movie ever!
Absolutely Brilliant!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
OK, so this isn't the greatest of horror films and perhaps there are moments when the film slows to a crawl, but it also has some truly chilling moments! I first saw this film on late-night TV as a young one and I'll always remember the creepy ending and the decapitated head pleading to be killed. Dana Andrews heads the cast and does a nice job as the Nazi Dr trying to bring the frozen soldiers of the Third Reich back to life. I was thrilled to find this film on DVD as part of a double-feature with the truly horrid film, 'They Saved Hitler's Brain'. If you have an opportunity to watch this film, you really should give it a try.....it's not nearly as bad as some would have you believe!
Well, I'm convinced now. They made stupid movies back in the old days as well...the Frozen Dead for instance. A very crappy, but especially boring horror movie coming from the 60's. Widely considered as the golden decade for horror, and I surely agree with that, but then we have to ignore this picture. There are about 15 good minutes in this movie. The last ones. All the required tension, creepy atmosphere and horror are in this quarter. All the rest is a waste of time, although it could have been something, I think.About 20 years after World War II ended, a few old-fashioned Nazi officers and scientists are performing experiments on frozen Nazi-leaders. They want to bring them back, of course and they can! Thanks to the work of Dr. Norberg. Too bad (for them, at least) his curious niece (Jean) pops up with a friend of hers. She never knew her uncle and her deceased father were Nazi's so the lab of Dr. Norberg has to be hidden for her. To continue their research, Dr. Norberg and his assistent kill Jean's friend. Jean becomes suspicious. That's pretty normal I guess...they could've killed anybody, but nooooo...Let's kill the friend of the niece. How stupid is that !!! The acting is boring, the action is very limited and there's no feeling at all with the characters. Although I'm glad there wasn't any feeling, actually. After all, the characters were Nazi's. The Frozen Dead is a movie that should be avoided. The synopsis of this film may sound interesting but believe me, further expectations will only lead to huge disappointments. My humble opinion on the Frozen Dead = 2/10
20 years after WW2 has ended, a German scientist living in London, attempts to revive the frozen bodies of several Nazi leaders. Of course, there are some problems along the way (especially "woman problems")... The main problem however with this film is that it has absolutely nothing to say. Besides a ludicrous story, this film also contains some very "unintended-funny" scenes. Especially the dead girl's head is great! "It seems as though the head forced this glass of water out of my hand!" Needless to say that the dialogue, especially near the end of the film, is superb. This alone makes the film worthwhile. There are films that are far worse than this one (and with worse actors), but this comes pretty close too. Oh, and watch out for Edward Fox as one of the crazed Germans in the basement(!). 3/10
The Nazis' finest (who, in my opinion, couldn't possibly be all that fine) are corpsicled in preparation for the future, apparently a couple of decades downstream. Dana Andrews, a top German scientist, is now trying to thaw them out, but he just gets one basket case after another; brain damage seems to be a major problem. His henchman, knowing that Andrews wants a fresh head with which to work, kills the visiting friend of his daughter, who becomes the head-in-the-box. Naturally, she's a bit angry about this state of affairs. Naturally, all the Nazis end up dead. At the end of the movie, there's the problem of what do do with the head-in-a-box. No one suggests grad school. Instead, sans lungs, she says "Bury me!" Well, that probably is better than grad school. Actually, though it's easy to make fun of this movie, it's not a bad flick.
