Ice Queen starts as a military convoy is attacked by someone or other, the film doesn't think such details are important so why should we, & a unique prehistoric humanoid shaped female Ice Queen (Ami Chorlton) creature recently discovered is stolen. Scientist Dr. Goddard (Daniel Hall Kuhn) decides to transport the Ice Quen to somewhere not far from the Snowshed Ski Resort Lodge by plane, unfortunately the cold temperature outside revives the Ice Queen & she kills the pilot, the plane crashes, causes an avalanche which buries the ski lodge trapping Johnny (Harmon Walsh) & his buddies. Besides having to survive the avalanche Johnny & his buddies also have to contend with the Ice Queen who kills on sight...

Co-edited, co-written & directed by Neil Kinsella this is yet another brainless straight-to-video/DVD low budget piece of crap horror film with lots of unintentional comedic moments. The script by Kinsella, producer Peter Beckwith & David Williams is boring, dull, clichéd & full of plot holes. The whole Ice Queen thing is wrong, no explanation is given as to what she is, when the equipment in the back of the plane stops working there would have been all sorts of alarms going off as is the case with medical equipment, if Ed phoned the emergency services to report an avalanche they couldn't just say 'we don't believe you' & not bother to investigate, the emergency services are obliged by law to respond to a call for help & that's a basic fact. I could go on but you get the idea, the script is dumb & had little thought put into it. The character's are awful, they do stupid things, they split up, no-one seems that bothered about being trapped under an avalanche of snow or that some of their mates have been killed & are dead & they are just plain annoying. The film seems to go on for ages, it's boring, it's predictable, it's stupid & it's not a film I enjoyed.

Director Kinsella doesn't do much to liven things up, the direction is poor & the film has pacing problems. The Ice Queen herself is awful, she has these spastic looking exaggerated movements, she stares, sneers & wiggles her tongue at the camera & she just looks retarded. It's not scary, there's no excitement, tension or atmosphere. There's no gore either, someone has their hand pulled off, there are several scenes of the Ice Queen sticking her hand into people's chests & that's it. I will admit though that the avalanche scene is quite well done even though it steals footage from the film Avalanche (1999) so I can't give it that much credit since the best sequence in the film was at least in part stolen from another film. Also, when Johnny & his mates crawl out of that air vent at the end there's no snow anywhere & the ground is dry, where did the snow that covered the building go all of a sudden? Also, why didn't the avalanche destroy the jacuzzi & who left it on?

Technically the film is alright, it's nothing special but it's reasonably well made. Apparently shot in Vermont. The special effects are OK & better than a lot of low budget horror films of recent times. The acting is poor by no-one you've ever heard of.

Ice Queen is one of those dumb low budget shot on a camcorder type horror flicks the kind everyone seems to think they can make. I didn't like it & I doubt many will.

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.

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")
