Attack of the Killer Refrigerator

That warning against chipping the ice in your fridge is there for a reason...

An amusingly stupid short in which a refrigerator does indeed attack and kill. Curiously, there's also a feature-length film with the same idea, The Refrigerator (1991). And evidently this short is going to be remade for a feature as well?

On video with The Hook of Woodland Heights (1990) (V), again, much more amusing than scary. These are also available on DVD now from the producers, along with another even lesser-seen short of theirs, Days Before Christmas.

My friends and I rented this movie expecting the chieesiest movie we'd ever seen. Turned out it was kinda cool! It reminds me of the movies me and my friends made in our backyards about homosexual zombies. Definitly worth a couple bucks and a few minutes of your time. If you have half an hour to kill why not watch it twice?!

It's ironic that literally twenty years after Michael Savino and I made "Frige" while students in college -- It gets all of this attention even to this day. Just a couple of interesting points: We had a $25 budget (for the smoke bombs etc.), It was shot on 1/2" video (before camcorders; separate deck & camera), No script (that's obvious) It was built around footage we shot for other projects, It was actually shot and produced in 1984 -- So this may very well be the first project shot and released on home video -- Ever; and we're pretty sure it was the first project with a $25 budget ever reviewed in VARIETY and FANGORIA. The soundtrack was created by spinning vinyl records at various pitch backward and forward through an analog audio processor made from an old reel-to-reel deck. The point I'm trying to make is this... We did this on our own time (not for any class) because of a love for film and video and the creativity it sparks. We never dreamed that twenty years later -- It would be used as a medium for discussion for good (and bad) filmmaking on something called the Internet -- And yes... we are now shooting a feature length "Killer Frige." Thanks!

If you like bad movies, this is the one to see. It's incredibly low-budget special effects (you'll see what I mean) and use of non-actors was what gave this film it's charm. If you're bored with a group of friends, I highly recommend renting this B movie gem. It's mulletrific!

It seriously has to be seen to be believed. Yes, the movie is about a refrigerator attacking a house full of people who previously abused it...in particular the one guy who chipped the ice off of its interior to cool down some drinks at a party. This, of course, is explained in a flashback...by the refrigerator. Yes, the refrigerator has a flashback. It's for gems like this that you should see the movie. How a stationary object, possessed or otherwise, would succeed in killing half a dozen people is beyond me, but it happens in this short film. I know, I know--it was a college film with no budget, etc etc; so props for the effort and all. But seriously...I guess you should really just see it for yourself.
