Sick Product of a Sick System
Admirable film.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Shot-on-video horror has enough diffused lighting and nudity to almost qualify as porn, albeit bad porn. There's a skiing race, the winner gets the girl. Guy is killed in accident, lamely, considering this is a horror movie. Five years later, a reunion draws them to another ski resort. It's a weekend of alcohol and sex, and, eventually, killings, in retaliation for the skiing death half a decade earlier.Unique, potentially interesting setting amongst skiers at a ski resort in the middle of winter adds little to the proceedings, the film amounts to little more than boring deaths filmed through a pair of smashed orange ski goggles, simulating the distorted POV of the killer. What could have been the film's most memorable scene, the death-by-icicle, is quickly edited away from, to an ice pick chopping into ice in a wine bucket. Die Hard 2 had a similar scene, but handled it far more effectively. Instead of that, the film's most memorable scene is probably the moron flailing about like a lubed-up squid in the snow, ever so slowly trying to escape from the path of the slowest moving snowplow on earth. Its "guess the killer" ending is negated by the fact that they pin the killings on a barely mentioned, minor character in the final scenes, with a contrived link between the killer and his victims, as he was barely acquainted with the initial dead skier. The film ends in one of the dumbest, most inane freeze-frame endings I can recall. I enjoyed the winter setting, but that was about it.
I always like Slasher movies that takes a different setting than the usual woods, campsite, college, houses etc like this one on a Ski resort, although there is nothing different about this movie from any other movie of this kind and doesn't set apart from them in any way, "Iced" is basically a run of the mill slasher movie. Not that it's a bad thing oh no, I actually enjoyed this and plus I loved the snowy location."Iced" is about a group of friends who are mysteriously invited to spend a weekend at a winter cabin, four years after a terrible accident that resulted in one of they're friends dying, and then the friends come to realize that something is amiss when there are reminders around of what happened and they find out from the estate agent that the one who died invited them, (but how can he when he's dead), then the group of friends start getting picked off one by one.Okay the plot line is as old as time and I can think of loads of movies with this kind of plot line. There are both good points and bad points to this movie, like the good points are that this movie is fun, the first Ski slasher I've enjoyed from the last one I was "Blood Tracks" which was bloody awful, "Iced" is much better. There's also a lot of nudity from the ladies which always pleases me and there's even a bit of male nudity (something u don't see in these kind of movies that often) which I didn't mind and plus it's always nice to see a familiar face in slasher movies as well Debra Deliso from Slumber Party Massacre, plays Trina the final girl in this and she was pretty good and I also loved the fact that she spends her chase scenes in her underwear and snow boots. And the bad points now, for me I found this movie pretty slow in getting to the killings and when we do the killings were disappointing and no gore whatsoever, (although there was one scene where a girl had an icepick in her eye) but we didn't get to see it and plus this movie doesn't make the most of it's beautiful locations having most of murders indoors. Technically, it's a bit of a mess with horrible editing, slow pacing and overtly misguided dialog (with only okay acting at times). But Iced is still enjoyable and worth watching.All in all "Iced" is a fun waste of time, not to be taken too seriously, okay it's not brilliant but it's not a bad movie either.
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.
ICED is one of the most moronic slashers ever conceived. A guy in a ski suit and broken ski goggles kills people at a log cabin. Very scary...not. The whole thing is completely forgettable. And the killings don't start until the last part of the film. The characters and situations are not interesting enough to sustain one's interest all the way to when the action starts and when the killings do start, no one cares about anything or anyone. And there's a really stupid "surprise" ending. No wonder horror movies died in the 1980s.A total waste of time.
