  Review by Tony the 1313 Terror😼🏳️‍🌈 ★★★½ 3

  This was so damn cheesy. And. I. Loved. It.

  Slasher at a ski resort gets points for an original location and some pretty fun kills. The acting is atrocious but of course it is. The lovable Joseph Alan Johnson of Slumber Party Massacre, Sodoma’s Ghost, and House of Lost Souls wrote and stars in this and he’s obviously a horror fan with at least a modicum of talent unlike say...Dustin Ferguson...or any number of other fans turned filmmakers who should really just stay the former.

  You’ll figure out who the killer is pretty early on but it’s not like the bar is set really high with this type of movie. There’s a slight Friday the 13th Part VII vibe happening with the whole rental cabin thing and since that’s possibly my favorite Friday that just made this all the more enjoyable. The ending is so damn ridiculous and beautiful it left a smile plastered across my face. This needs some special treatment fo’ sho’.

  "I would love... to have the blood pulse hard in your veins again..."

  Iced is a non stop freight train powered by cocaine, sleaze and pure 80s tom foolery. One of those nonsensical slashers that exists in its own unique universe of the absurd. The cheese is dialed up to 11 and the vibrant snowsuits dialed up to 12. The stupid dialogue and plot made by aliens? Well that's dialed up to 13. Stick around if you enjoy 80s skiing montages, gory kills, deadly love triangles and ludacris low budget lunacy that will become your fantasy.

  Iced may seem like your typical 80s slasher but there's something uniquely magical here. The perfect balance of everything unconventional and unintentional yet unrelentlessy…

  Wintertime sleaze🥶

  I LOVED everything about this from it’s simple yet effective artwork (imagine a Vinegar Syndrome slipcover of the icicles embossed lol), it’s cheesy over-the-top acting,
  🔥jealous dude rage🔥, a ski resort setting, gory kills, and honestly watching the awful copy on YouTube made this 10x more silly and enjoyable. 

  The best thing about this is, we’re shown the killers POV through a broken helmets visor and THAT makes this one unique slasher gem!
  I really liked it and it’s ridiculous batshit ending.

  FIRST HE CHILLS THEM, THEN HE KILLS THEM.

  First big snowfall of the year and I ain't leaving home today. Working from home and starting the day with a winter themed movie. A wacky and underrated slasher - Iced! You've been ICEDDDD!

  For a slasher from 1988 this one solid movie. And by solid I mean ultra cheesy, non sensical, goofy, surreal, and an avalanche size level of shennanigans. And the entertainment value is through the roof!

  Jeff Stinson gets mad because a girl doesn't like him so he blasts down a ski slope and lands on some rocks in a dramatic suicide. At the same time said girl is doing the dirty with his friend! Years later the girl…

  Review by FakeVoorhees ★★★½ 2

  Since Vinegar Syndrome has been doing some double feature releases lately, is it too much to ask for a Lisa Loring slasher double of Iced and Blood Frenzy? It would also fit in with partner label Culture Shock's recent output. Just throwing it out there, maybe we can wish it into existence.

  Review by Paul Hibbard ★★★½

  This is a late 80s slasher movie that feels like an early 80s slasher. Basically just imagine My Bloody Valentine on a ski resort.

  I love that this movie has the absolute gall to rip off the door scene in The Shining. But instead of an axe breaking the door down, he's using a ski pole. And the woman inside is hiding with a pair of scissors with orange handles that look like the ones my mom used to cut Christmas wrapping when I was kid.

  Just incredible

  🩸Daily Horror Hunt #25 (July 2020)🩸
  (16) Watch a winter/snow themed horror film.

  It takes a while for Iced to fully get into the slasher groove after a pretty spectacular ski race/sexy time/suicide shenanigans filled opening, only one slayed body in an hour+ stretch. But thankfully our group of yuppie jerk-offs are just dopey enough and cause enough melodrama to make the wait more than bearable. Sex dreams, cocaine fiends, relationship woes, and a whole lotta talk about skiing, but the ski equipment will soon serve a whole 'nother purpose...

  Once the killer goes on the hunt this turns into a real intense, chilltastic little romp – lots of frosty innovative kills all with an icy cold slasherific theme. Love the neon orange view through the killer's cracked goggled POV, and that ending man! It's obvious who the slayer is but hearing his totally out there wacko justification, oooo so good!

  ☃️GET SNOWMAN'D!!☃️

  Review by Marna Larsen ★★★ 6

  Exactly what the cover (and by that I mean the vhs not the dumb thing they have on here) promises like, gets right up in your face with one of those flares and yells 'is this what you wanted??"

  And you're like 'no, man. I changed my mind.'

  But it's too late. The movie is already happening. There's skiing. There's murder.

  I whined about how cold it was this year for four solid months (despite that I never went outside) and now, it's very nearly actually summer and I'm like, 'nahhh you know what I really want? Some cozy winter ski vibes.'

  I heard that, back in the 80s, those places just HAD snow like that's what they were for?? So it conceivably could be NOT winter??

  Is that true?? Or were the googlebots just fucking with me again??

  Damn it, I knew it. SO not funny!!

  Review by coles84 ★★★½ 9

  This one definitely deserves the Blu Ray treatment soon. A slasher full of nudity, inventive kills and a game of whodunnit makes for a fun flick to watch in the warm while you witness the dangers of icicles, skiing and hot tubs. 

  I went skiing for the one and only time when I was 14 with the school to Austria. I remember hating every moment, I literally fell from the ski lift thing every couple of minutes causing the device to stop and everyone would collectively sigh. I could not work out to get up either so our instructor had to keep coming back to get me. Damn 14 year old me was fairly useless. 

  Thankfully this film is a…
