Not Thawed Out, January 27, 2006
This review is from: Ice Queen (DVD)
WARNING: possible spoilers ahead.
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.

Please Don't Shoot The Writer or Not This One., May 16, 2006
This review is from: Ice Queen (DVD)
As much as it pains me to reveal the truth, I wrote the original script for Ice Queen. Not much remains. Actually, only the opening scene where the military convoy gets attacked and the concept of the airplane crashing into a mountain side and causing an avalanche to cover the ski resort are mine. The rest, blame the producer and director.
This film started life as "Avalanche Run" which was a sort of Romeo and Juliet on skis story. Two rival gangs, the poor but proud locals and the rich, snotty guests, face off over the love of a local girl who found fame in the big city. There were three (or was that four) production companies involved. Somewhere along the line one of the suits got the idea that the film needed a virus. So that's where the convoy and plane crash came in as a group of...I wasn't allowed to call them terrorists....steal an experimental virus, crash into the lodge, and so we get that as the ticking time bomb. The rival gangs must work together to escape before the crushing weight of the snow brings down the lodge on their heads and crushes the vials of virus, releasing it and wiping out every living thing for miles around. Then, apparently 2 weeks prior to production, another suit said that either the film got a monster or they were pulling out. Apparently the producer and director, rather than contacting me, put their own writing skills (sic) to use and rewrote 95% of my script. The result...well, read the reviews.
Oh, and for a look at what happens when a script of mine gets produced right - look for Prison of the Psychotic Damned, coming October 2006.

A B**ch on her menstrual, October 12, 2005
This review is from: Ice Queen (DVD)
This movie was so horrible it was funny and entertaining!
This biohazard she-freak was stolen from the military to some psychotic scientist or whatever. Things went bad when she transformed to this gross thingy (or was on a menstrual with PMS. Of course all of that happened while they were in an airplane. The plane crashed.
I don't even want to explain this movie because it was stupid.
From the intro of the wet T-shirt competition to the cat fights.
This Ice queen whatever had no particular motive. Nor did this movie.
