Kurt Loder Reviews Blood Glacier and Zombeavers

|

IFC

The new Austrian movie Blood Glacier isn't actual crap, actually–it looks pretty good, reviews Kurt Loder, and its cast isn't entirely unacquainted with the craft of acting. But the movie's tolerance for cheap genre rips is high, and its aspirations cheerfully low. It's an old-school creature feature that seeks only to peel your nerves back and gross you out. It draws heavily on John Carpenter's The Thing, with a few Alien flourishes bolted on, and it does its job. Zombeavers is actual crap, though.
