Bad acting, bad effects, bad script, bad all the way around. But I loved it. I couldn't stop laughing. The father is flying across the Atlantic in a little twin-engine plane and Air Traffic Control asks him to descend from 30,000 feet. What? There's a huge snowstorm that has shut down the airport in London and the father and new wife manage to rent a car. The steering wheel is on the wrong side for the UK. They're driving in a huge snowstorm with the temp well below freezing and rainwater is hitting their windshield along with the fake snow. An 8.4 earthquake hits Paris but many of the buildings, including the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe are still standing.

Here's a drinking game for the movie: take a drink every time the brother or sister fall down. I think I counted 30+ times. This is my new favorite "Worst Movie Ever." Invite your friends over to watch this really campy movie.

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?

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 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.

The description of this movie reminded me of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," so I watched it on Netflix. I'm sorry that I did. This could possibly be one of the worst movies I've ever watched.

The acting was utterly terrible. I liked the theme of the movie but the plot was extremely disappointing. The only good thing was that it was suspenseful - whether or not the parents and kids will make it to the Eiffel Tower.

It would've been slightly more okay with a better group of actors, a director who knows what camera angles are good, and a better script. It had potential but fell flat on its face.

Yes, it's another typical Asylum film, but we saw plenty of films from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that were much worse. At least it proceeds with some sort of plot and story-line. It's silly, but coherent. You can hear all the dialogue, which is sort of unusual for recent films.

There ARE a few things you have to overlook. For one, the bargain basement FX. It's also sort of weird to have virtually no extras, even in the normally crowded streets of Paris. The best way to watch this is to play the drinking game: every time someone falls down, you take a shot. You'll also enjoy hearing every Brit speaking with some unusual accent.

Definitely not worth the scorn it receives. See it if only to hear the geese story.

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.

This disaster movie was about the onset of a mini-ice age in Europe, caused when the ash from numerous volcanoes blocked the sun, cooling the planet. The volcanoes were a accompanied by numerous earthquakes.

I don't watch a lot of low-budget movies, so I found myself fascinated by how cheaply they were able to tell their story. Other movies spend millions showing the effects of an earthquake. In this movie the camera shook and the actors fell down. There were a lot of earthquakes and a lot of falls. To show they effects of the falling ash from the volcanoes, they put the actors in a car, sprinkled what appeared to be clumps of laundry detergent on the window and then sprayed the windshield with a lot of water while the windshield wipers spread the detergent back and forth. As the climate suddenly cooled the actors began rubbing their arms with their hands and remarking how cold it was. And they filmed a car in a location with a minor snow storm.

Now I watched this movie on Netflix. It cost me practically nothing, probably not much more than the movie cost to produce. And it was worth every penny I spent and more.,

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

Not a bad concept, and with the presence of Jeff Fahey and John Rhys Davies I had hoped for a little better. But, sadly "100 Degrees Below Zero" leaves one standing on a snow bank that isn't quite tall enough to cover you.

The majority of the plot & dialogue circles around the two adult/late teenage children running around the City of Lights (aka Paris), trying to get to a location where their father, played by Jeff Fahey, a former/retired US Air Force Officer & pilot, can 'rescue' them in time to board a NATO flight executing "Operation Down Under". The script could have been a bit better, but the acting from the two children was downright sad, poorly executed, and on the corny side. Given the number of times the son gets hit, falls over or is knocked down to the ground (at least five by my count) one would NOT expect him to be able to get up, let alone run. Some of the accidents & "encounters" with other minor characters seem forced and trite, but in a sense could BE reasonable given the overarching plot.

As one reviewer said, I've seen far worse films executed from the 1950's, 60's & 70's. Thankfully, this film is just under an hour and a half, and is bearable if you really want to waste the time doing something else while watching this. I don't normally like to pan films, however in the hands of a different screenwriter, director, and slightly better talent, this concept could turn out to be as good as or better than Armageddon or 2012.

After checking the IMDb reviews I decided to watch this, the reviews were so terrible they made me laugh and I figured the film would do the same. I was not wrong, this is the most entertaining piece of crap I have ever watched, nothing makes sense, and the acting is like watching 5 year olds in a school play.

The script is ridiculous, people flip between panic with the world literally crumbling around them, to joking and sauntering along like nothing is happening. They are also superhuman, they can survive incredible temperatures in t-shirts, although they do rub their arms every so often and mention how cold it is.

Direction is insane, sometimes it seemed like the cameraman was just holding the camera walking backwards shaking it about, it's incredible.

The sound production is all over the place, actually I don't think there is any sound production.

I would definitely recommend watching this with low expectations and a bottle of wine. I'm giving this 6 stars because I really did enjoy watching in disbelief at how bad it was. But don't get me wrong, this is a terrible film.

When I saw the name,Asyum,I knew what to expect. To begin with,any film,this company releases,will never be shown in cinema's in Canada, United State,United Kingdom,any euro country,Australia,or New Zealand. This film,was so stupid,that I had trouble watching it. Except for a few of the Paris settings, this film was not worth viewing. The acting was stupid,the photography was bad, do not buy this film. Rest assure,actors,such as Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman,and Matt Damon,would never appear in a Asyum,film. The salary,these actors,would be paid,would probably,bankrupt,Asyum film company. Any film,this company releases,is cheap.

No redeeming value at all. Horrible effects, Soundtrack is probably the same from all Asylum films reused. Some fair actors with poor scripts ... Two things I enjoyed... 1 - The Snow on windshield that looked like Soap flakes in water.... 2 - The Generals story of why he owed Steve (Hero Father)... Canadian Geese brought down plane in war and Steve carried him to the base... LOL ... This film would be great to watch for crazy scenes.. the disappearing Embassy worker that came back to get them..... Driving across grass entering Euro Tunnel.... Massive snow falling but no snow on ground... Cast trapping girl guy can not lift the wooden case loaded with boxes, doesn't remove boxes....... Helicopter Autorotation, blades not moving..... Paris evacuated yet cars can be seen in background even at end on Eiffel tower... While at top of tower, green grass seen in background.... Oh yea the prop-plane at beginning flying at 30,000 feet....... And on and on....

I actually created an account so I could review this movie and give it one star (and quite frankly, I wish I could give it zero.) Full disclosure, I am a little bitter because I didn't check the reviews first, and actually paid (PAID!) for this movie on demand. Woe is me. Within the first thirty seconds, I wondered if somehow I'd hit the wrong button and clicked on some high school students' class project (although had I done so, I suspect the quality would have been better.) I really can't add to the other reviews, but suffice it to say that everyone is right - the acting is worse than amateur, the editing is pathetic, and I could make better special effects in my back yard. Please don't make the mistake I did. Save your money. Anything you would spend it on would be better than this movie.

If you are like me and have the attention span of a doughnut, then this should suit you well.. Also, If you like see busty cleavage-ridden babes, acting in a disaster movie, then.. this should suit you well :) It has a cast of well known names, yes hammy acting at times, but it's a good one to stick on in the background. Oh, and, did I mention the women :O Jeff Fahey, is yet again, some kind of ex special forces 'copter pilot, and, that is the funniest thing here. He doesn't seem to be tough enough for it, and, only knows how to twiddle the 'gearstick' on his 'copter', which is why, i'm assuming, he has a beautiful woman in tow! A nice movie to while the time ago, but definitely NOT the worst movie. There are far badder movies out there, this one, at least deserves a 5 or 6 for trying.

I wasn't expecting much from The Asylum's 100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, a Z-grade movie rip-off of the Hollywood blockbuster THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. After all, I hated the original, finding it boring in the extreme, so what could this film do better? The answer is that it's much more entertaining purely because it's so bad. So bad it's good, in fact...

The storyline involves a macho pilot (the dependable Jeff Fahey) searching for his offspring, who are lost in Paris during a deadly weather event which threatens a new ice age in Europe. What it all boils down to is a bunch of stock disaster scenarios, some truly horrible CGI effects, and more overacting from the cast than you can shake a stick at.

Still, it's far from the worst you'll see (try AGE OF ICE for that). Fahey works hard in his man-on-a-mission role, and underwear model Sara Malakul Lane runs around in a skimpy t-shirt despite the freezing temperatures, allowing the cameraman to ogle her at every opportunity. John Rhys-Davies pops up as a gruff military type, although he has a heart in this one at least.

100 DEGREES BELOW ZERO is perfect for fans of bad-but-funny movies and it's one of those ones that demands being watched with a glass of alcohol in hand. My favourite scene is when the kids in Paris hook up with their pop on the phone and tell him "there's nothing left" after an earthquake. This is accompanied with their faces screwed up into expressions of unbelievable horror. And yet, in the background, all the buildings are intact and you can see pedestrians and traffic going by normally. A great goof in a film full of them.
