Blu-ray Review – Iced

1989's "Iced" brings slasher cinema to a ski resort, giving director Jeff Kwinty a playground of snow and cabin action to help deliver a lively feature. And yet, there's very little spirit found in the picture, which intends to be a mystery and a horror film, but spends most of its run time dealing with uninteresting characters and their personal problems. It's not a terribly satisfying adventure into genre moviemaking, finding Kwinty generally reluctant to participate in an alert endeavor that's heavy with violence. Exploitation interests are there, but the execution of the offering isn't, keeping "Iced" quite glacial as it waits for over an hour to really summon more active screen experiences. It's a long wait for extraordinarily little payoff. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
