Some movies are bad, but 100 Degrees Below Zero redefines disaster. With acting as stiff as the glaciers, effects that look thawed from the ’90s, and science that’s downright hysterical, this film crashes through the ice and sinks fast. Brace yourself—it’s worse than you think.
Released in 2013, 100 Degrees Below Zero is a low-budget disaster flick from The Asylum—the studio infamous for Sharknado and other so-bad-they’re-good films. Directed by R.D. Braunstein, the movie stars Jeff Fahey and John Rhys-Davies, who bring surprising star power to this icy catastrophe.
The film’s plot revolves around a volcanic eruption that inexplicably plunges Europe into an instant ice age. With laughably bad CGI and scientific accuracy thrown out the window, it’s a masterclass in disaster movie absurdity. Shot on a shoestring budget and rushed into production, the film’s charm lies in its unintentional comedy and outlandish premise.
For fans of “mockbusters” and hilariously bad cinema, 100 Degrees Below Zero delivers exactly what you’d expect—melodrama, chaos, and dialogue so cringe-worthy you’ll be quoting it for days.
This movie is great as a little background noise for dishes but to sit and watch all the way through was a challenge all in its own. I often found myself getting distracted in my phone or tweeting to find an excuse to skip out altogether.
I’d call it just a gimmick if it weren’t for the word brother sister dynamic we’re exposed to the entire movie. I’m not sure what what’s going through the writers head when they came up with this dialog but good lord was it some of the most embarrassing stuff I’ve ever heard in my entire life!
But let’s talk about the elephant in this room, as you watch every grueling minute of this abomination you’ll probably get a recurring feeling of familiarity, as if it’s a 00s film about a weather phenomenon that freezes the upper hemisphere…
This movie is hard to write about. I did not enjoy it at all. If you’re hoping for some kind of redemption arc or deeper underlying meaning, it ain’t here bud.
I’d rather watch the Roseann Barr comedy special, at least she had left notes. This movie kills like a bag of rat poison, like throwing up after getting a whiff of a dead skunk in July.
0/10 could not ask for a worse movie
