Scott LeBrun "Frozen Scream" is one of those fairly obscure drive-in horror curiosities that people will simply have to see for themselves. The plot involves mad scientists who send out their hooded henchmen to collect victims for experiments. The result is a bunch of emotionless zombie killing machines. An eyewitness to a killing (Lynne Kocol) must work with her ex- fiancée, a detective (Thomas McGowan), to solve the crimes. Dr. Lil Stanhope (Renee Harmon), in whose care our heroine ends up, may know more than she lets on.Genuinely bad acting & dubbing, a generous serving of lovably tacky gore, a snails' pace, a hilariously absurd "plot", and silly attempts at humor (the director plays the drunk in the alley) comprise a cruddy B movie that delivers in terms of an unintentional comedy factor. Most of the actors here are so bad that it boggles the mind, although Harmon, in her film debut, became a somewhat familiar face in exploitation features of the 1970s and 1980s. Her German accent (she was a WWII war bride) renders a lot of her dialogue unintelligible, although this may actually be a good thing. The worst offender is Ms. Kocol, one of the most insipid leading ladies you'll ever see. Sunny Bartholomew is pretty lousy herself, although she does at least provide "Frozen Scream" with a healthy amount of sex appeal.The movie is just weird enough and sometimes just surreal enough to make it endurable, despite some portions that are just plain boring. If you're anything like me and enjoy discovering off the beaten track B pictures, this should be worth a glance. It does wrap up in a reasonable amount of time (79 minutes), but those end credits are some of the slowest that I've ever seen.Five out of 10.

tomgillespie2002 I was under the impression that the medical toxin Botox was a modern phenomenon in terms of its use on vacuous, rich, stupid peoples faces. However, watching this 1975 movie actually proved me completely wrong. The "actors" in this film seem to use the substance on a meteoric scale, and its as though the late '60's concept of drug sharing is taken to another level, like 'Fraternity of Men', "Don't bogart botox my friend, pass it over to me", seems to be what was happening between scenes. The faces of all involved here barely move. Their expressionless, vapid, and monotone deliveries are almost laughable; they simply have no emotions - even when delivering some (incredibly pedestrian admittedly) dialogue that simply drips from their chins, and is hardly audible.Well, the film does also kind of have a story. It's about scientists who are experimenting on what appear to be implants that can extend life - becoming the epitome of love and immortality. Basically, they have discovered a way to revive the dead, bringing them life as cold, zombie-like creatures of control (like H. P. Lovecraft, but without any outrageous fun - of even simply fun for that matter). There are some strange figures in black robes who seem to kill those who find out. It's pretty hard to work out what is going on at times, it is a rather convoluted narrative. So it is yet again another pathetic, and preposterous entry into the video nasties list. All I can say here is simply that I curse the stupid choices that the director of public prosecutions made in the early 1980's, and also I want to extend my fist towards the man who's idea it was to review all these f*****g films - cheers Tom, you knob.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

rondo-aura 'Our ... minds play ... strange tricks ... on ... us.' By the time you get to this line (or rather, if you make it as far as this) congratulate yourself for sitting through perhaps one of the most insanely bad horror films ever made. This film is so bad, it makes stuff like 'Blood Shack' look like a masterpiece of tension and suspense. What actually steals the show in 'Frozen Scream' is the soundtrack. For sure, this is one soundtrack you will never forget. In fact, the farting synth sounds are quite practical as they rouse you when you're starting to fade away. And believe me you will fade away during this one... For the casual viewer this is one to avoid, but I guess there must be about ten of you out there who will take that as a recommendation. (In that case enjoy, because really guys this IS that bad ;) Lovely, in an insane sort of way.

lrc81 The plot of this movie is very simple, some scientists wanna discover a way to become immortal. One of them creates a experimental drug but before he has a chance to try it out, he's kidnapped by some of his peers (scientists and also fellow cult members). The missing scientists wife happens to know the detective in charge of the kidnapping, an ex-boyfriend. A great opportunity for them to get back together. The crazed scientists believe that the drug alongside low temperatures is the key to immortality and they might just be right...This movie has been part of the infamous "nasties" list, it has later been removed. There is some bloody scenes, which i found good, taken in count that the rest of the movie isn't all that. The acting is bad and the dubbing is horrible, what were they thinking, could it be any worse. These aren't ordinary zombies either, they have a mole like sign on their necks, the make-up isn't anything special so i'm guessing they wanted the viewers to distinguish them somehow.Don't create much expectations when it comes to this "nasty", that way you'll probably still find some bits interesting.
