TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

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

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

videorama-759-859391 I'm surprised I didn't see the names Joseph Mehri and Richard Pepin associated with this one, as it seemed very, City Lights, handled. What's more, a horror in itself, is some of the stars who have turned up in this, like little Wednesday Addams, who's grown up into a real bombshell and Elizabeth Gorcey from Grandview U.S.A. Iced is a mess in a lot of ways. It hardly has any suspense, that gives way to a so awful predictability, where after our time in waiting, the victims are killed off quickly. The little shocker, for the sake of shocker end scene is cute, but stupid, which it could be imaginary, which is just another messy attribute. Essentially, it's a revenge story, where a score of friends are invited to this flash ski resort. They are cliché's of other characters in this sort of caper, like a responsible woman party and of course, the lone jerk dickhead, prankster, etc. One by one, they killed in gruesome ways, one party, not even making it to the cabin. The killer in the snow plough, just happening to be there, leaves a lot to be explained, as other things do in the movie too. Also, like one of the woman banging on the door, and not being heard inside by her friends, before she's struck in the neck by an icicle (wedge of ice). High points of the movie are of course, Wednesday Adams, the music score, Carl, and the killer identity revealed. Take that all away, apart from the decent acting, this is a slip shod film, where gore hound's patience may'be a little stretched, before the bloodletting ensues. The weak titled movie could of been much more better if more time and care went into it, where instead, we just fall to the weak, typical B, grade fare, where in this case, it's kind of disappointing.

acidburn-10 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.

FieCrier I start to watch this in earnest, but eventually had to go for the forward-scan button, and used it pretty generously.A group of college students are at a ski resort where people are night skiing with flares. Two of the guys get into an argument over one of the women. They settle their differences with a race without flares. The winner has sex with the women, and the angry loser goes skiing again on his own, again without a flare. He takes a bad jump, and lands on some rocks and apparently dies.Four years later, everyone in the group has been invited to try out a new ski resort as a promotion. One of them is killed before he gets to the resort by a guy in a blue ski outfit with broken orange-tinted ski goggles (with some shots from his POV through the broken goggles). There are lots of boring talky scenes that don't serve the plot or character development. The rest of the deaths don't occur until much later in the movie. Some atypical weapons, but poorly handled.One odd scene has the women in the kitchen, preparing food. One of them is cutting carrots. She does so in the oddest way I've ever seen. She holds the knife straight up in the air, and pushes the carrots against the stationary knife to cut them lengthwise. Dumb! And it's not a lead-up to her cutting herself, either, just some random thing.The killer is more or less obvious through Ebert's Law of Character Economy, although he seems to be in more than one place at once. The final scene is set five years later, and is pretty stupid. The only other ski resort horror movie I'm aware of (but haven't seen), Shredder (2003) (V), has to be better than this.

horrormb Whoa! How did they crap into plastic? This movie was good at the beginning and the concept seemed pretty good. Little did I realize that while many things get better with time, this just got... pardon the lame expression... "iced". I wasn't expecting top notch acting and the ending credits and beginning credits (just look at the way the title shows up) were shoddy. Maybe a little bit of overuse on the sex (unusual complaint, I'm sure) was possibly the downfall. I mean, just when the guy was flying down the hill, it flashed back and forth between him, and sex. Which would rather be seen? Some of the deaths were interesting (icicles used by HUMANS) but it fell apart towards the end, revealing the killer a bit too soon. A 4 out of 10 since it is worthy (to a point) and it's my kind of movie.
