C
It's a paint-by-numbers effort from Corman, who wants a big screen emergency, but doesn't want to pay for quality. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen G 09/13/2020 If you're in the mood for something so bad that it's often laughable, you might check it out. If you want good acting, a decent plot, realistic special effects, or any semblance of thrills, don't. See more 12/30/2018 One star for camp. Thatï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s it. The giant yellow styrofoan chunks of snow blowing every where sums it up perfectly. See more 06/12/2017 Holy cow Mia Farrow and Rock Hudson equaled no chemistry and a horrible movie. Somewhat bearable while watching with the MST 3K crew making fun of it. See more 04/23/2017 Unintentionally funny. See more 04/15/2017 Year was 1978 not 1999. See more 04/28/2015 Sloppy but fun disaster movie. If nothing else, it shirks the genre's formulaic predictability of who'll be offed next. Really, no one is safe! See more Read all reviews
