The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I actually like killer animal movies. I love night of the Lepus with its giant bunny rabbits and Bats with its genetically altered bats eating people. This movie however is flat out awful. First of all, the acting is utterly atrocious. The lines are delivered in a stilted manner as if the actors are embarrassed to be in the movie. Their emotions are as flat as an elementary school play. I have seen a few movies with acting this bad but never one worse than this. Second, the dialog is terrible. Even if the actors weren't so awful, the script is totally nonredeemable. Third, the spiders weren't big enough to be terrifying or plentiful enough to be overwhelming. There were many instances when one of the characters could easily have crushed one, but instead they chose to panic and run about mindlessly. There were exactly six spiders about the size of a big dog and one was killed early on when it was struck by a snowmobile. They didn't even look horrifying. The CGI made them look rather like a child's toy spiders. It was very hard sitting through this movie. I think it might fairly be called one of the worst of all time.

SyFy have certainly done worse movies, but that is no consolation seeing as to me Ice Spiders was awful. Stephen J. Cannell was the sole "enjoyable" spot of the movie, everything else stank like yesterday's garbage. It isn't a SyFy movie without fake special effects, haphazard editing and lazy direction, and Ice Spiders has all of those. And that's not all, those thinking that there will be clichéd characters, cheesy and aimless dialogue and a dull and predictable story, won't be disappointed. Likewise with the acting, especially from Patrick Muldoon.Overall, a poor movie that left me cold. I've seen worse, but that's not excusing Ice Spiders' awfulness. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I still can not believe I sat and wasted an hour and a half of my time to actually sit through this awful movie. What a waste of time. Bad acting, bad cg, this movie reminds me of a class project for the AV club. The scene with the two hunters at the very beginning should have tipped me off. It was more than predictable. Two buddies hunting, they spot the trophy-to-be, one sees the giant spider, and they run around screaming. While one of them tries to kill the spider with a cross bow. Then there was the little fact that they've designed the spider to have two eyes. Forgive me for paying attention in school, but I'm pretty sure most species of spiders have 8 eyes. If you chose to sit through this one, more power to you. Good luck making it to the credits.

There's a ski resort far far away from civilization, yet there's a nice little city within viewing distance of the facility. Also next to the resort is a secret government research laboratory that studies spiders, giant spiders at that. The spiders escape... didn't see that one coming.Anyways, if you pull the fire alarm in this so-called laboratory, a squad of shirtless idiots with m-16's come charging in looking for something to shoot. Some bimbo girl dressed like she's in a winter clothing catalog is the "doctor" in charge of the research and tries to call the shots. Instead we end up listening to some cocky guy with silly eyeglasses and a lab-coat on as he tries to capture the spiders as opposed to killing them. The spiders were smart though. Instead of listening to the horrible dialog going on at the lab set, they go and join the ski resort patrons next door for some snow packed action. They pull off some awesome jumps, tricks, etc. I think the spiders were actually better than the "olympic trainees" working on their skills. Anyways, the spiders squeal with delight, eat people, then ski some more.I'm not really sure of what else to say about this near-fatal blow to the human IQ. A lot of the dialog was hard to tolerate as it was just flat out awful. All of the characters were undeveloped, clichéd, and brought a whole new meaning to being stupid. None-the-less, the spiders on ice action was hysterical in a sad way. Me and my friend enjoyed ripping on this movie all the way through.If you can tolerate horrible dialog for some hilarious "creature violence," this film may be worth laughing at. Otherwise, I think it'd be best to avoid it at all costs.
