Iced (1988) - This movie has two things going for it, both of which are Lisa Loring's breasts. You recall Lisa Loring played Wednesday Addams on the TV show The Addams Family in the 1960s. If you ever thought you would like to see Wednesday Addams naked, well you're just a pervert becasue she was a kid, but all grown up she can certainly get your ski lift working.
Away at a ski resort a group of friends are busy with food, feuding and fu... I mean making love. One of their party who apparently has a god complex about himself has had too much to drink and wants to fight just about everybody. He takes off at night to do some skiing and ends up getting himself killed. Four years later the remaining group of friends are invited to a ski weekend at a resort just opening, but something is amiss as someone is stalking and killing them.
Yadda, yadda, yadda, you've seen this plot before in so many slasher movies. Not only is this one late to the party having come out in 1988, it sinks to the bottom of the barrel from the start and doesn't surface for air once. From one of the most poorly edited openings it has been my displeasure to see in a slasher movie to the most inconsistent red herrings I do believe I have ever seen so disrespectfully dumped on an audience.
The identity of the killer in this is so overly obvious. How do the filmmakers try to overcome this? By filling the movie with red herrings to throw off the viewer. But the red herrings are so stupid. They actually succeed in having the killer in two places at once, and it's for no other reason to distract the audience from this movie having barely any plot. It is incompetent and insulting to a viewer's intelligence.
I give it 1 1/2 Daggers. And the only reason it gets and extra half Dagger is for Lisa Loring's hot tub scene. You can find it on YouTube.
