Plot: two families ice-fishing for the weekend must survive a monster in the lake.
Hypothermia (2010)
Directed by James Felix McKenney
Shown: poster art
Ray (Rooker) brings his wife, Helen (Baker), his son, David (Forster) and his son’s girlfriend, Gina (Chang) out onto the lake for a relaxing weekend of ice-fishing. Of course, that’s not what they get. First, another family shows up – father, Steve (Wood) and son, Steve Jr. (Finley) – that they don’t get along with. Then, Steve Jr. gets pulled under the ice by something, cut up, and his pops insists a shower is all he needs when he really needs a hospital. Then, things get even worse. The monster under the ice is very hungry.
The creature is interesting looking. It wasn’t really original, but it followed it’s rules well. The acting was good, but there was little Freddy Claws. And the ending was happyish, sort of. I know that sounds cryptic, but I don’t want to give too much away because we actually both recommend this one.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
