Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

christopherbarton26 This movie has just started on the Horror Channel. It seemed familiar and it was. I suffered the pain of this dark (lighting) bleak (Plot and script) a couple of years ago and I am still wearing the plasters. The three stars are Michael Rooker who was ever reliable but what he was doing in this cheap drivel? I will never know. New furniture?? The icy desolate waste is probably a metaphor or the commissioning suits minds although adequate for the movie.I cannot go too far into all the performances but the supporting cast were keen if nothing else. I have also have seen some pretty cheap effects when watching Z rated creature features, and some are very good, but this one really had me in stitches. Spend £20 and make it look like £9. Someone is missing a wet suit and flippers.Even for hard core horror fans (we have watched some rubbish) give it a wide one unless you want to chuckle at the rubber beastie.

SanteeFats Man this movie actually started out with a lot of promise. Then the creature actually shows up. A human in a wet suit with some added garbage in this day of CGI? What a load. Until the thing showed up this movie was alright. Decent acting and writing, nice scenery if you are in a warm place since the cast is surrounded by snow, ice, and winds. Then things went to what is becoming the usual for Chiller and Syfy movies, really poor endings. There is no closure in this movie unlike most horror movies, usually the bad thing dies. The monster just goes away after killing all the males, but only after the old mom basically begs for the lives of herself and her sons fiancée. This film could have been so much more than it was.

SonOfSalem I watched this movie because of Micheal Rooker. He's the kind of actor who always brings integrity to his roles, no matter how weak the material might be sometimes. He's a professional and I admire him. Hypothermia had the makings of a great horror feature. I found the acting to be adequate by most of the cast, and some of the dialogue was interesting and I soon found myself carried along and kind of enjoying it. Also, the fleeting glimpses of the creature through the ice, ratcheted up the tension nicely. Then this guy shows up in his truck. His character is the cardboard incarnate of every bad character that ever existed in ass-hole form, and after a few minutes his true obnoxious role in the movie became apparent... he was there simply to hold together a rapidly disintegrating plot.When his son, Stevie Cote Jr, is pulled through the ice and mauled by the creature, he develops a kind of telepathic connection with it; or more accurately, it with him. But this is not fleshed out properly and all it serves is to confuse the viewer, especially since the understanding of the ending hinges on this connection. And even though the actors tried, they could not save themselves or the movie from what was to emerge from beneath the ice... when it made it's appearance, I laughed so hard I thought I'd either dislodge a tooth or pass out; truth be told, at the time, I really wasn't sure which might come first, because I was too busy trying to stifle a nose bleed as one third of my blood volume tried to escape through the follicles in my head.Just imagine for a moment, every single crappy creature you have ever seen. I know you've seen a few. Now, I want you to completely discount any misgivings you may have had about any or all of those creatures because, compared to this creature, they were masterpieces born of such creative genius as to be simply visually profound. The "Monster" in this movie is so bad, it would make the creature from the black lagoon look like the "Alien" in Ridley Scotts masterpiece. It will forever be, branded into the deep dark recesses of my Amygdala; and may very well haunt me, until the day I die.

bjjnedan This movie is about a family on an ice fishing vacation. On a lake where something supernatural, prehistoric, or just plain stupid, is the top predator.Yeah, this movie is bad. I don't really remember too many details because I lost interest the very first time I caught a glimpse of the tall, lanky retard in the sh**ty, cheap Halloween costume. The acting is bad. Hell, there were a few occurrences where the same person was called 3 different characters names. In one scene, the son is called David (I think that was the characters name), Stevie (a completely different character in the same scene), and Cody I think. Then 30 seconds later, they call the dad all the same things. Hell, the hot little Asian chick refers to Mr. Pelletier (Michael Rooker) as Mr. Cote on more than one occasion. Cote was the father and son they meet on the lake. The effects were miserable. The creature effects, the special effects, any effect in this p.o.s. was just embarrassing. Seriously, the monster in this looked like either a terrible costume or a cheap bondage (whatever it's called). This movie is bad. Avoid this at all costs. Seriously, if it comes down to it, sell your kid into slavery just to not have to watch this crap.
