Ice Crawlers
Story Line: Five graduate students journey to an arctic research facility where they’ll serve as a fact-finding team for a major corporation. The corporation’s “experimental drilling techniques” in the vicinity have been condemned by the U.N. However, a greater danger imperils the students and the facility’s small technical crew: a murderous creature is on the loose.
Bottom Line: A closed-off, claustrophobic setting, a group of disparate “types,” a vengeful
creature that can seemingly appear out of nowhere—if it sounds as if we’re back in Alien territory again, that’s because we are. Ice Crawlers is an impressive-looking but incredibly familiar sci-fi outing that runs the gamut of clichés, from a mega-corporation that, to quote one character, has more “conspiracies than an Oliver Stone movie,” to the sexual tension between the male and female researchers, to the variety-pack assortment of students. They’re comprised of the scion of a Texas oil family, a jock, the girl next door, a studious “princess” and a black computer geek named “Update.” To his credit, director Buechler does blatantly acknowledge his source by having the monster burst out of the girl-next-door character at one point. Shelve with other low-budget sci-fi titles. The eye-catching box art (a female face screaming behind a wall of ice) might do the trick.
