100 Degrees Below Zero

If the point of this production was to make one of the worst movies possible, then it was a success. I've seen better directed pornography, which incidentally, also had better acting. Nothing about this movie makes sense. If it weren't for the measurements of Sara, I probably wouldn't have been able to watch it until the end. Definitely not work the cost of electricity to turn on the DVD player. This piece of amazing should have gone straight to the garbage. It's not even good enough to go to television, as cable companies would have to pay advertisers to use their commercials during this movie. If this was made by a first year film student, it still wouldn't excuse the quality, or lack thereof, of this thing.

This is by far the worst excuse for a movie I have ever seen. Even the bad movies on the Sci-Fi channel that usually involve fill in the blank giant creatures eating people are better. I could make a better movie with my cell phone in my basement with my neighbors as the actors. Jeff Fahey was interesting in "Lost" but could have phoned this performance in and he was the only one in the movie with a modicum of acting ability. I can't believe I paid $6.99 to watch this mess on pay- per-view. Not one redeeming quality in the whole movie. My husband and I watched in disbelief as it just went from bad to worse. The special effects were not special at all. They were just ridiculous. The girl actor kept falling down and wasn't very good at it. She should not give up her day job of modeling. The other actors were amateurish. Overall, just terrible.

I wasn't expecting much from 100 Degrees Below Zero in the first place. And coming from somebody who's sat through a lot of The Asylum's movies and hated most of them with a few exceptions, I knew what to expect. Why do I keep watching The Asylum's movies if they are so bad?(a question I've come across countless times by those defending any of their movies) Because there is something compulsively watchable and (when they're not insulting your intelligence) entertaining about them. As said I knew what to expect from 100 Degrees Below Zero, but even that didn't stop me from thinking it was terrible. The scenery is quite nice, but because everything looks as though it was constructed in a haste and with no love I found that I couldn't enjoy it. The camera work indicates either inexperience or somebody who doesn't care at all about how the movie looks, while the special effects for the storm look like a very rushed last-minute job. Audibly, the movie is little better if at all, the sound mixing is murky, while the music is generic and sluggish in tempo, adding absolutely nothing to the atmosphere. Clunky is a good way of describing the dialogue though it's also too kind describing it too. It is also silly and awkward, structurally so thin you wonder sometimes whether there is even a script. There is nothing original in the story, I would forgive that if there was anything interesting in the telling of it but the complete lack of fun or thrills as well as the dull pacing indicate otherwise. The way the characters fall is also hilarious, unfortunately for 100 Degrees Below Zero I don't think that was intended. The characters are cardboard and you don't care for a single one of them. There are even some that are introduced but seem to be there for absolutely no reason. The acting is really poor too, Sara Makaul Lane is a slight bright spot but she is a long way from great and her character and dialogue shares much of the blame. Marc McKevitt Ewins is very wooden and bland in the lead role, and if you're going to use talented actors like Jeff Fahey and John Rhys-Davies at least give them something interesting to work with because they came across as wasted here. Overall, terrible, regardless of whether you're familiar with The Asylum or whether you know what to expect or not. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This film is about a man trying to rescue his children from a terrible storm. The storm is used as a prop for the family drama and some parts of it seem randomly thrown in and is inconsistent in its application. Hopefully it had a really low budget.

Don't waste your time. This was an accidental online purchase for us. The movie has horrible acting. Sara Malakul Lane and Marc McKevitt Ewins are unbelievable... so bad that their falls are almost humorous. Bad directing probably contributed to the poverty of the film. There is a random girl in film who's reason for being there is flimsy at best. There is an accident near the end that is bizarre and adds nothing. Special effects are reminiscent of special effects from the 70s.

I don't usually post reviews - BUT WOW. This has got to be one of the worst things I've ever seen. I've watched through all kinds of garbage, sci-fi originals, terrible found footage horror movies and pretty much everything in between. I can't even begin to summarize the worst parts of this pile of crap. This is a truly terrible experience. The "acting", the script (I'm seriously wondering if there was one), The "special effects" pretty much every aspect of this thing is laughable.

In the end I was left with the following questions: How does something of this quality makes it out of the home studio? How long does it take to make something like this, a couple weeks? There are some decent (At least I thought they were before) actors in this, what was the incentive, a trip to Europe? In the end though, really why bother?
