Frozen in Fear

Rating:
Summary: A Surprisingly Good Movie!
Review: I have to admit, when I rented this movie from my local video store, I did'nt have high hopes. I expected a barley decent film, that would probably be unwatchable. Due to the intriquing premise,however, I gave in and rented it. Well, I must say, I was pleasently surprised, when the movie started getting good. Despite a few plot holes, this movie just goes to show that proves that a big-budget is not requires, to produce a good film.

Summary: Awful but Nice.
Review: What can I say about this movie? I never thought acting and directing can sink to that level before watching Frozen in Fear on cable yesterday! What I saw was more like dollars being burned in front of my eyes..what a waste of money I thought.
My remote was at the ready to make a quick exit into anything, even watching the shopping channel would have been a welcome diversion, had not the lovely Catherine Oxenberg started peeling off her clothes faster than my twitchy fingers managed to change channels.In fact there is a lot of sex scenes and nudity in the film, it somehow compensates for the lame and weak script, acting and directing.
I just felt sorry for Eric Roberts..To be typecast is not necessarily a bad thing for an actor, if anything it is a more secure way to get the job and pay your bills, but he really should rethink his future choices. He is not a bad actor per se, but his frequent portrayal of a baddie/psycho/tortured man can be exhausting to watch after a while. Rod Steiger was in this movie as well..Rod Steiger was in this movie???? Why?
I don't expect of course all films to be masterpieces, and not all directors are Truffaut or Kubrick..there is a market and different tastes out there for many genres and many level of entertainment(like music you have your Beethovens and your Spears), but at least a film should have the minimum: to be watchable.
So if you want a film that has this minimun then avoid Frozen Fear, however if you want to watch the beautiful Catherine Oxenberg doing her bit for 'art' then rent this movie and thank God for the wonders of the remote control.
