4/4  Frozen Food Collectors Will Be Offended!!!
This movie is excellent! It pokes fun of the "trekkies" and star wars nerds across the world. I mean Frozen Food Collecting? A radio station KOCK? KISS themed TV Dinners? A gay firefighter who makes quiche for his fellow bravest? Now tha... (read full)

4/5 Why the hate?

I've reviewed this movie everywhere else so I'll keep it short. If you liked John Carpenter's The Thing, you will like this movie...at least chances are good. This is Val Kilmer finally making a movie where he can play on his acting skills and not rely on action/combat skills (which he doesn't have many of). It's creepy, the setting is perfect and the way it ends makes it all worth it. At least worth a watch once, I loved this

1/5 Horrible

OMG this was such a bad political movie. Man is responsible for killing the planet so he deserves to die by roach infestation. This was the theme of this movie. About a third of the way thru, I was begging for the Orkin man to show up and spray my DVD player to end my suffering.

3/5 Creepy, crawly eco-horror
  by N. Durham (Philadelphia, PA)
The Ghost House Underground line of direct-to-DVD releases continues for a second year, only this time around we only get four films compared to last year's eight. The most notable of which is The Thaw, which boasts some pretty decent production values and some chilling scares as well. Martha MacIsaac (Superbad and The Last House on the Left) stars as the daughter of an environmental scientist (Val Kilmer) who accompanies a small group of students to a remote location where her father has discovered a well-preserved frozen woolly mammoth, and the parasitic bugs that lay dormant inside it as well. Naturally, it isn't long before said bugs are on the loose and spreading. Packed with gross-out moments and some brief shots of gorgeous cinematography, The Thaw is surprisingly good and definitely creepy. It doesn't offer anything you haven't seen before in any random horror flick, but for what it's worth, The Thaw is worth a look.
