Iced (1988)

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sigh … I suppose I'll never be able to claim that I've seen all 80's slashers ever made, because here's yet another one I never even heard or read about before today. Oh well, "Iced" certainly isn't a great loss and not at all worth tracking down unless you're an avid fan of the decade and/or the sub genre. The story takes place in a skiing resort – duh – where the usual crowd of teenage stereotypes gathered together for a holiday of fun, until of course a homicidal maniac decides to pick them off one by one. I wouldn't exactly call this original, but since most 80's slashers took place either on high school grounds or in sunny summer camps, I'll reward this movie with half a point extra for its setting. A couple years ago during a previous ski trip in the same resort, the popular girl of the bunch had to choose between two admirers. Her resolute choice for the hunky guy drove the loser to commit suicide and now it looks like he's back from the dead with a vengeance. I know, that's not very groundbreaking either. Like sadly too often the case in this sort of movies, the murders only begin to occur in the third act of the film. The first hour only features false scares, juvenile pranks, dull flashbacks and some welcome nudity. Lisa Loring plays one of the girls who gets topless quite frequently. I mainly know her as little Wednesday from the original "The Addams Family", so I hope it doesn't sound too perverted to mention her naked chest as one of the film's only highlights.

Maybe it was the beer talking, but Iced was a perpetual favorite amongst my friends and I during our college days. A poorly-made skiing-themed slasher with virtually no gore, the film somehow managed to entertain time and time again.From the Rockadiles t-shirt to Debra Deliso's workout using a rolling pin, this baby is is pure, unfettered bad fun. We've got the most painfully inept man on Earth trying to escape a snowplow. There's some hilariously unintentional homo-erotic moments between two male friends as they lie in the snow together. We've got piles of cocaine you could go sledding on, a killer who leaves messages in puffy paint, and gratuitous Wednesday Addams nudity.The score, which I find myself humming at least a few times a year, is so bad, its great... and the ending? Wooo baby. If you haven't seen how this delicious piece of cheese ends, then you haven't seen jack.Iced is a wonderful film. Sure, its wonderfully bad, but that won't stop be from loving every last moment of it.Now where's my DVD?!

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.

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.
