Review of The Thaw (2009) by Tommy B — 14 Oct 2009
The Thaw works. Though flawed it works. If you have seen the ICE episode from the X'Files series then you will get a similar feel for this film as it touches on a similar subject matter. This is a pretty low budget film that manages to keep things flowing at an interesting pace throughout much of it's runtime not unlike John Carpenters The Thing which borrows from many other works of fiction and manages to create sothing new yet familar in the genre.
Val Kilmer is obviously is finding it difficult to find work these days with fimls like this and Streets Of Blood but he doesn't suck and is par for the job at hand. Acting is good and consistent with the material.
A great effort for a culmination of old material spun together to weave a film that feels familiar yet inviting which can be good as well as bad. Decent.
