A group of friends head off for a fun-filled getaway in the snowy mountains, where they’ve unexpectedly been offered a free stay at a luxury ski resort. Once they arrive at their cabin, however, the high spirits are soon dampened when they discover a newspaper clipping concerning the tragic death of their friend Jeff during a ski trip four years earlier – it’s clear that someone holds the group responsible for the accident. Sure enough, as the friends settle in for a cozy winter vacation full of skiing, sexual intrigue, and naked cocaine binges, a mysterious figure in ski gear and cracked goggles stalks the surroundings, intent on picking them off one by one in a variety of gruesome ways.

The directorial debut of Jeff Kwitny, who would go on to helm 1989’s Beyond the Door III, ICED – which began life under the title “Blizzard of Blood” – is a deliriously entertaining snowbound slasher penned by and starring Berserker (1987) star Joseph Alan Johnson, alongside a scene-stealing performance from Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams. Featuring an astonishing amount of bare skin and a host of fun kills – including death by jacuzzi, icicle, and a glacially-paced snow plow – ICED is at long last thawed out by Degausser Video for its Blu-ray world premiere, newly restored from the best available tape master and loaded with a wealth of brand new bonus features.
