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. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
