REVIEW: Deep Freeze

Rudi’s ramblings (plot overview also):

Deep Freeze is a charming tale of an oil drilling station in unconvincing Antarctica. It would be more convincing if the snow effects didn’t consist of some Surf Automatic washing power being blown across a cardboard box.
To make the film easier to understand I’ve grouped the protagonists into four types:

1) Rough Texan Driller Types – Provide some light relief
2) Annoying clichéd college kids
3) Dodgy Scientists
4) Vampire Dinosaurs – They’re not really but the box says they are

The plot boils down to character type four killing all the other character types.
That’s about all you need to know about Deep Freeze, other than it’s no where near as funny as it damn well ought to be considering how poor the production values are. As usual with this sort of film you care nothing for the characters. Although I grouped them earlier I feel that some of them need special mention:

Heinz – Pill gobbling German,
Fake Tex – Annoying kid to be seen wearing a cowboy hat at the beginning of the film,
The Three Stooges – Stupid drillers,
Ginger Slut,
Lee Evans crossed with Jason Biggs,
Showering Ape Man who (gets killed by dry ice, bad editing and one tentacle - blue and red food colouring are suspected accomplices)

So there you go, just some of the characters you won’t care about.
