The Refrigerator

There's a whole world of horror films that are positively hilarious without intending to be...however, horror film parodies generally don't work well. This one is slightly better than most, and it's slickly made for a movie at this lowish production level. Still, THE REFRIGERATOR is as slight on laughs as it is on scares, and would probably have been more successful as a short subject than a feature.

The idea of a refrigerator being the Earthly gateway to Hell carries with it a lot of possibilities, but this film just doesn't begin to realize its own potential. It may be fun enough as a casual time-filler, but ultimately comes off feeling like a feature-length SNL skit. Take this one or leave it...you may find it enjoyable. I, for one, stand at the equator with one foot in the "no" zone.

4.5 out of 10 stars.

This movie seems like it tries to be supernatural horror thriller but if anything it's a satire thats intentionally Cheesy. Eileen and Steve Bateman are a young couple that moves into a small apartment soon they start having weird dreams about the refrigerator Steve who becomes attached to the fridge dream of people he knows shrunk down inside the fridge talking to him. Eileen has nightmares of blood and long tentacle things coming out of the fridge she also has a dream of a fetus in the fridge. A woman called Tanya tells Eileen to leave the room she knows the refrigerator is evil and says its a gateway to hell. Steve starts acting strange and becomes obsessed with the refrigerator some people get eaten but the movie more about the fridge haunting Steve and Eileen. Juan the plumber who was also warned of the fridge join Tanya and Eileen in destroying the evil fridge and it turns out that is not the only appliances thats possessed. People who don't like this movie don't understand it it's not supposed to be a serious i can think of many big budget movies with a well known director or well known actors that are not as good as this. If you like this i suggest checking out attack of the killer refrigerator the stuff or Death bed or any killer object movie.

Geeez! Not nearly a quarter of the fun the title promises this movie to be. A refrigerator is terrorizing a couple who just moved into an apartment. Is the damn thing possessed? Is it just a freezing fridge-monster killing people? I have no idea... No explanation, no story, no gore... Just silly nonsense (and some occasional cheesiness that might have you cracking a smile or sigh deeply) in a flick that takes itself way too serious for whichever reasons I can't imagine. I mean, its title is "The Refrigerator" and it's a horror movie. What went wrong? I secretively was hoping this could just be as much fun as "The Slime" (AKA "Slime City"). Sadly, it's not. As soon as I figured that out, I started wondering if this was going to be a profound piece of art cinema filled with philosophical ponderings about frozen meat & vegetables and uplifted by loving musings at a temperature below zero. I think I just saw the wrong movie. Or something got lost in translation. Whatever.

Much more entertaining then it probably had any right to be, a couple of newlyweds move into a new apartment with... you guessed it, a killer refrigerator. The wife seems to have some issues with some incident involving her mother and a knife in the past, whilst the husband is increasingly seduced by the refrigerator into insanity. Neither plot angles are resolved or explained, but most funny of all is moustached plumber Juan who is dressed in chains and leather (even doing an exotic dance at one point), something of a hero though there is no climax for him to have done anything heroic, and the whole racial stereotyping of the Latino community living around the slum block of flats who are in constant contention with the husband who is typical 80's white go getter ego. This film has depth! There is absolutely no explanation to the motives of the refrigerator as far as I could tell, and the imposing, nightmarish focus on it is extremely campy. It's a fun watch, but it is a truly abysmal movie.

lol.. i saw this movie 8 or 9 years back, and! i still feel obligated to give it a comment.

This is a movie for example when you sit down with friends this movie suddenly runs up in conversation.I personal don't remember much but i do laughed allot, the characters are all first class "beasty boys". And i remember a scene when huge arms came out of the refrigerator and grab someone haha totally wacko.

I'm thinking of renting it again :-)
