      Some things ARE better left frozen!

      For the love of God, people please do NOT see this movie!

      I can honestly say that this is the worst movie I've seen to date (and I'm a big fan of B-Movie horror films!).

      The storyline is basically non-existent and I found myself having to *force* myself to watch the film through to the end. The creature effects are very poor (until about the last 5-10 minutes, and even then they're worse than something from Buffy), and the death scenes are the worst I've ever seen (and let's face it, in this kind of movie, the death scenes are all you watch 'em for).

      Overall, a BAD movie (and not in the "bad, but amusing cheesy" way). Stay well clear! And don't say you weren't warned....

      Heinous Bogus German atrocity

      German actors were being forced on Hollywood B productions end of 90s and early 2000s, German language is used in this for no reason cause Germans have some great desire to share their language with the world the so called actors look like total amateurs, don't have the looks, have zero talent, but everyone acts horribly here, the tall german actor everytime he opens his neanderthal mouth sounds so scripted and fake it's most heinous, totally unwatchable. There is zero effort by all actors involved but the german crew filming this didn't see any issues while filming. Tjis is proof Europeans should be forced to leave movie making be alltogether! Yuck.

      The cold must have gotten to the director.

      Really bad... Like a High School production. I have to leave a longer note, or it won't record my comment, but I really don't want to think about this movie any longer.

      Don`t Defrost This Turkey

      A scientific group in the south pole find themselves being killed one by one by a monster . This premise is similar in many ways to THE THING but whereas John Carpenter had its strengths - Most notably its downbeat depressing atmosphere - DEEP FREEZE is an extremely dumb movie with very poor production values , the script is nothing you haven`t seen before , the acting is unconvincing but worst of all is the monster which resembles a big rubber beetle . If I remember correctly there`s a scene where someone is attacked and it`s obvious the actor`s holding onto a rubber prop while screaming . I might have a false memory of this scene because DEEP FREEZE is instantly forgettable . I can clearly remember a scene with footage of a real insect superimposed over the action though

      I`m curious as to how many reviewers on this page who`ve put the boot into DEEP FREEZE are fans of horror movies ? I`m not really a fan of the genre myself since most horror movies like this one suffer from a dumb script and substandard production values . If you don`t like that sort of thing you`ll certainly hate this movie . If you`re a horror die hard you may only dislike DEEP FREEZE

      A Useful "How Not To" Guide

      A film which steals shamelessly from Carpenter's "The Thing"- even to point of using actual footage, this film's main purpose is to show just how great that movie was. Everything "The Thing" got right (i.e. Everything), this gets wrong. Kind of amusing in it's rip-offery, but not really worth your time...
