ThiefHott Too much of everything

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Michael O'Neil Brown I saw this at a screening at my local Alamo Drafthouse, billed as a "so bad it's good" 80s cheesefest, and it did not disappoint. Make no mistake about it, this is a TERRIBLE movie. But it's so ridiculous it'll leave you entertained as hell as long as you know what you're getting into. It's a gem.

Coventry 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.

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.
