Frozen Scream (1975)
2/10
A film that goes everyplace but never really reaches its destination.

Watched this film expecting to see something totally wild and a bit more gory and such as it was one of the first films put on Britain's video nasty list. However, it was not really all that in terms of gore and I wonder if maybe it was put on the list because it is nearly incomprehensible? A film where a narrator pops in from time to time and speaks over the characters and usually talks about stuff that has nothing to do with advancing the plot or even the scene! Then the film goes from one random scene to the next and even manages a dance party and for the most part seems to forget it even is a horror film about cloak wearing zombies that kill!

The story, well that is the hard part. Guy is in his house and gets a call and gets attacked and injected by some stuff and his wife apparently sees this though they only let you hear her voice. She knows he has been murdered, but he has been pronounced dead of a heart attack. A police officer who is in love with Anne, the main girl whose name you will not forget, wants to figure out what is happening, but also hear that Anne loves him. Okay, he just wants to hear Anne say I love you. Meanwhile, we have ice zombies that are not the chomp kind, not the voodoo kind, but a new kind! The type that is rarely on display as the only other film I can think that has the sort of serial killer zombie is Dead and Buried and Death Warmed Over which are both superior to this one. Watch out for that car Kevin!

The actors and actresses are all pretty novice and the editor seems to be having a seizure while editing the film as that is the only way to explain how choppy and uneven this film feels. Then you have the voice overs that change throughout the film as the officer in the movie and the one doing the narration are supposed to be the same guy, but are clearly different! Not much in terms of gore, though we do get some blood as the narrator talks about love as a woman cuts into her own wrist and you listen to the narrator and it seems as if he is talking about something else entirely than what is being presented on screen!

So this film is nothing to track down if you are wanting to find a new scary movie you have never seen. It is one to track down if you want to see a random film that is so crudely shot that you can find humor in the fact it is so bad. There is nudity, but honestly, you can see that in abundance on the internet so it is not enough to make you want to watch this thing either. No, just morbid curiosity.
