The Station / Blutgletscher

Yes, this is gruesome Euro-horror about the climate apocalypse and the possible end of life on earth as we know it, but it's also fun for the whole family.

"Blood Glacier" is too sleepy to do anything with its guano-stirring premise.

Sometimes genre-based filmmakers don't know how to make their material fun without making fun of their material, but that's not a failing of Mr. Kren's.

As if climate change weren't worrying enough, studies show it's leading to an uptick in the production of cheesy German-language monster flicks.

The attempts made to flesh out Janek and Tanja's rocky relationship, especially, are pure Screenwriting 101 contrivance.

The monsters are a scream, squishing crossbreeds that are all fur and teeth and exposed, pulsing, ready-to-burst viscera. And the screamers are a bit monstrous ...

Blood Glacier, with it's mostly practically created monsters, wastes an opportunity to distinguish itself from the many CG-dependent horror titles that saturate cinemas.

This is one of those endeavors that will no doubt endure the test of time on viewing lists of very ambitious bad movies.

Doesn't have a rich imagination, and while its locations are gorgeous, nearly saving the viewing experience, the mayhem contained within is lukewarm at best.

Decent gore, fun creatures and its high-concept premise make Blood Glacier an enjoyable night out

Blood Glacier is exactly why English dubbing should be abolished for foreign movies. It destroys what could have been a fun creature flick with emotionless, bland voice work that does nothing but distract.

When it comes to low budget horror movies, sometimes the less you see ends up being the most effective...Kern should have applied this...to the unconvincing, Ed Wood-worthy monsters, and Blood Glacier would have been a much more successful film.
