Freezer Burn

IMDB RT Official

Genre: Comedy
Release Year: 2007

There's something to be said about low-budget movies, and Freezer Burn definitely makes that apparent.

The story revolves around a laboratory scientist, Virgil (Robert Harriell) and his crippled, poorly compensated, but fucking hilarious sidekick Rex (Michael Consiglio). They're working on cryogenics and are having a lot of success with freezing organs. This all goes to hell when Virgil's wife is angry at him for buying a piece of art from one of her students. Virgil develops a crush on the 14 year old student, Emma, so he decides to freeze himself. After Rex fucks up paying the bills to keep the freezer going, Virgil awakens a bit early and looks for Emma. Hilarity-to some extent- ensues.

The movie was made with a low budget, and it's pretty noticeable by the sets used and some of the production values. The writing is pretty decent. The plot is really simple, creepy, but simple. Really, without Rex, this movie is a tad on the boring side even. The acting is pretty good for the most part, they just weren't given much to work with. Overall, it's not a bad movie, but I don't know if I'd ever watch it again. Maybe a renter or something

Overall: 5.5/10
