Very Cool!!!

Really Surprised!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Isolated frozen base camp. Something going strange? Sound familiar? Take The Thing and sub a dog sized, killer trilobyte in place of the alien entity and you still have not come close to Carpenter's classic. The acting is bad but I do admit I have seen worse. The only thing this movie is better than is those made at home videotaped movies where the sets are someone's bedroom made to look like a lab or they spend the entire film in the woods near their house. At least this is on film and the sets look halfway decent. Not huge budget, but like I said, it isn't someone's basement they are trying to tell you is a laboratory. Every time the bug attacks someone the movie has quick cut flashbacks. I suppose this is supposed to represent someone's life flashing before their eyes before they die, but the problem is since we have only seen these people for a few minutes, that is all the flash back to. Here he is arriving, here he is eating, here he is entering this room, boom he's dead. What makes it funnier is that one of the guy's flashbacks was edited wrong (the helicopter pilot) so one of the flash parts in the sequence isn't even his but a character that has not yet died. So you know ahead of time who is going to die and where haha There are 2 characters that go back and forth from being interested in each other to being against each other (oil driller vs environmentalist) that really doesn't make much sense at all. Time also has no meaning in this film as the copter pilot towards the beginning states he is going to go secure the chopper at the heliport after they arrive and it seems like a few days go by and they still refer to him as securing the chopper. ???? So throw away any common sense and timing issues and you might somewhat enjoy this flick. I doubt it though.

I am not surprised that there are no goofs for this film as the whole film is a goof. There is no perceptible plot, the FX - rubber "trilobites" (were they carnivorous?) are laughable and the clichés - if you smoke you're first to go, if you have pre-marital sex you're next - are ridiculous. We know who will live and who will die within the first 20 mins and we don't give a monkey's as to who survives. Plan 9 from Outer Space seems like Ridley Scott compared with this heap of hokum. Avoid all films that have Deep at the beginning - Deep Impact, Deep Rising and Deep Freeze are all naff.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*"Ice Crawlers" is a complete disaster. Part of me wants to shred this movie point by point but it's just not worth it. Basically a killer bath mat from the Jurassic period attacks some dolts in a big lab. There is no female nudity however we do get to see an incredibly hairy old guy take a shower. He was the true monster in "Ice Crawlers". Staring at his ugly, wolf man body almost made me run to the bathroom. Something was crawling up my throat. The movie makes every possible misstep and comes limping back for more.Stick this movie in the Deep Freeze. Let future generations dig it out. Who knows? In a thousand years, it may be worth something. But I doubt it. It'll still be "Ice Crawlers".

SPOILERS AHEAD - but only so you don't have to suffer this awful monster movie.Group of scientists, students etc.. travel to reserch lab in the Antartic & get attacked by a rather funny looking monster which resembles a big beetle. That's it.Didn't expect much from this J C Buechler directed movie but at least the monster fx should have been good, they aren't. It's goreless too, they couldn't even get the 'Alien' style chestbuster scene right.One of the few movies I've watched that required extended use of the fast forward buttom - during the attack scenes(!)Absolutely no redeeming values what so ever.The UK dvd contains the film &...wait for it, a pathetic photo gallery.
