Audience Member I watched it all the way through, so I gave it an extra half star. Eric Roberts offered a great performance since he spent nearly the entire movie not talking at all. Otherwise, you know it is going to be a bad movie when the supporting actress gives a better performance than the lead actress. The concept was typical, the attempts to mislead the viewers into thinking the law enforcement was the murderer was heavy handed and clumsy. Not a good film but I could at least watch it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A very boring made-for-Lifetime-TV bodice ripper where Eric Roberts gets away with not having any dialogue until the end. Seriously, that's all that it is. There's a weird, morbid set piece at the end that seems to become the center of attention as several needless scenes bring it back into the camera (where it spends ample time as the only thing in frame) rather than ending the movie dramatically. Kudos to the crew who designed and built the piece since it ends up stealing the show. One star.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Perry Seibert's summary of the film is not entirely accurate in my opinion. This film is a thinly plotted horror/terror movie about an art dealer seeking out the artist behind some promising artwork and she travels to a small town (perhaps similar to "Twin Peaks"?) in which there are rather unfriendly, rather unusual people. There is a killer who may or may not be randomly targeting the victims or perhaps simply killing all outsiders. Part of the killer's modus operandi (m.o.) is to sneak up on the target (realistic?) and then placing their head within a plastic bag to ultimately smother them to death or at least unconsciousness. I describe this film as a weird psycho drama. The one really appealing aspect of this film, aside from the beautiful art dealer, is the natural wilderness in which filming was done. Like other horror films, the killer appears to die only to reappear suddenly by the end of the film. 3/10 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member As a friend of mine put it, "It's a good for a movie made for less than a dollar." This made for TV movie delivers nothing it promises. Not even good nudity. A serial killer who was traumatized child haunts a small town where an art dealer is staying. Though people are dying and the townspeople seem to have their own secrets, the art dealer stays to try and sell a mute's paintings. But can she trust anyone? It's a sad, sad sight to see people who were nominated for Oscars to be reduced to shit like this. This movie is very bad and very unoriginal. The story is very familiar to the works of Dario Argento, but where his movies were entertaining and made sence, Frozen in Fear uses bad Freudian motives for the characters actions. And for the art dealer character, what the hell?! The falls in love with the mute so fast and for no reason. Damn she's a slut. And there are only like 6 people in the whole town. This is definitely an uninspired movie, ESPECIALLY for one that was meant for TV. Like I said, there are similarities between this movie and Dario Argento movies. You don't see the killers face, and we know the killer wears leather gloves. That's why it's so hilarious to see a scene were a character is puting on his leather gloves for no reason whatsoever in front of the camera. The thrills are absolute failures, even for very bad cliches. But overall, even the pacing is horrible. One thing the did do right, if they wanted to make a one horse town, that they accomplished. Though filmed in a nice mountain town, it isn't used well because the contant use of fog machines block out everything. TV movies are usually shit, but this is lower than low. Unoriginal, uninspired, and not uninteresting, Frozen in Fear is a wannabe freudian thriller made for no other reason than to make a few bucks.
