Ice Queen (2005)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I'm not going to recap every flaw in this movie, others already have and it would take way too long. I'm just going to hit a few of the most memorable moments and ask some questions that the movie didn't answer.....Who was that military unit and who was attacking them? Was that even in the script, or just some leftover footage from another movie? Who was the guy who killed the pilot? Where'd he come from and what made him decide to fly the plane? They spent way too long in the bar scene, who walks around a bar with a wet t-shirt before the contest? How much money did she really need for "law school" anyway? her story keeps changing. I'm guessing she keeps using her tuition on breast implants and trashy clothes.Any chance to believe anything in this movie vanished when the 911 operator hung-up on the bartender after calling him a drunk. Why didn't he keep calling? or call someone else? Why were there 7 people at the lodge and 30 cars in the parking lot?Who was the Dr? What was his story? Why did they stay in the same part of the lodge, just going back and forth? Why didn't they try to escape? Why didn't they start a fire, with all that wood laying around, to stay warm and scare the ice queen away? No point in trying to be logical now.The only reason to watch this movie is seeing a bimbo in the thinest possible clothes, a tight top, a short skirt and high heels running around in the snow and freezing temperatures, with no winter clothing and she never makes an attempt to find any. It's obviously not really cold, she'd have gotten frostbite on her toes in a few minutes in those shoes! Even before the avalanche, who dresses like that at a ski area in the winter? I could go on, bad special effects, lame sets, no real snow, horrible continuity, bad acting, but my review is starting to look like the movie, a disorganized mess. This movie should get zero stars, can we have a zero star choice please?

While transporting a unique female species from the Pleistocene Age, a.k.a. Ice Age, a military convoy is attacked and the sample is abducted. The creature called "Ice Queen" should be conserved in cryogenic state, otherwise she would wake-up very aggressively, but the apparatus in the plane where Dr. Goddard (Daniel Hall Kuhn) airborne the species has a problem, the creature is warmed, awakes and kills the mercenary pilot. The airplane crashes and slides with the snow avalanche that was provoked in the mountains, falling over and burying a resort, trapping a group of survivors with the Ice Queen inside. The species kills some of them, while Johnny (Harmon Walsh), his girlfriend Tori (Noelle Reno) and Elaine (Jennifer Hill) have to find a means of escape to save their lives."Ice Queen" is so bad that becomes hilarious, an involuntary comedy. First of all, the screenplay and the dialogs do not help the group of actors and actresses so absurd and silly they are. The direction is terrible, and most of the cast seems to be quite amateurish. The unknown Daniel Hall Kuhn has an awful performance in one of the lead roles. The "silicone queen" Jennifer Hill gives some of the most funny moments of the story, and the body movements of the Ice Queen are comical. I agree that this movie is bad, but in the end I liked it since I laughed a lot. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Terror no Gelo" ("Terror in the Ice")

The only way i could ever re watch this 'film'again,and i use the term loosely,would be A)with a gun pointed to my head or B)with LOTS of beer and a bunch of mates to laugh out loud at the whole thing.I'm pretty certain its not a comedy. The only thing scarier than the ice queen was Elains implants.Does she even realise where her nipples are pointing these days? Wait until you see the scene where her arm is pulled off leaving a very visible mannequins arm attached to Johnny's,exposing wrist joints and all.Oh,and the toy cars turned upside down on the snow are very effective...if you were filming a kids movie about toy cars in the snow.At leasy Harmon Walsh aka Johnny offered some eye candy.

So, the set up for this thing is that some scientist has found a cave woman from prehistoric times frozen in the ice. She's the Ice Queen of the title. While en route back to civilization, the Ice Queen comes to life and rips through the pilot's throat, causing the plane they were traveling in to crash into the side of a mountain. The crash causes an avalanche, which deposits the plane, along with several tons of snow, into the main lodge of a ski resort.It's late in the season, so there aren't a lot of people in the ski resort, but the few people that there are get stuck in the main lodge with a newly revived blue monster lady. The Ice Queen gets free and starts prowling around, killing ski bums and bimbos until she comes across this one ski patrol guy that she thinks is cute or something. He does his best to stop her rampage until they can put her back into cold storage.This is like a low budget version of THE THING made by people that have seen too many Godzilla movies and teen sex comedies. The worst scenes of the movie are when the granulated sugar avalanche consumes all these little train villages, and the wet t-shirt contest that takes up the first twenty minutes of the movie. If you're looking for a movie that combines gratuitous nudity with really cheap production values, look no further. Ice Queen is for you.
