Best movie ever!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

OK, the comparisons to "The Thing" are obvious, so I'll try something a little different.This is more like "Event Horizon"... ON EARTH! And, if you saw the flawed but still much, much better "Event Horizon" (space ship travels to Eldritch Dimension, returns haunted, and its surviving demonic crew-member kills a salvage team off one by one between eerie flashbacks and hallucinations), there's going to be no surprises here.No surprises, except for how weak this this similar film is in comparison, even for a "Stephen King" film. (Of course it's only using King's name to ride his coat-tails into a little more cash, but does it really matter? The name of Stephen King is everywhere on the bread-and-butter of bad horror film, whether King can be fairly blamed for the film or not.) I reluctantly give this turkey 2/10 stars because, as others noted, it does start out with some weak promise of competence, though it quickly starts to lose what little tension it started with about the time the silly book "Raising Demons" first appears, and it ends feeling silly and uninspired.If you are really desperately needing to see a Stephen King film with snow and ice in it, try either version of "The Shining" instead.If you are wanting to see small group of people inject themselves into a remote location where demonic horror has invaded and reigns supreme, you'd be better off seeing "Event Horizon" or "The Evil Dead" series of films instead: these are much better films which seem like fairly obvious sources of ideas for this film.If you are really in the mood for a horror film set in a polar wasteland, see any version of "The Thing", or see "30 Days of Night" instead.If you are just in the mood for a bad horror film that still manages a few redeeming qualities, try "The Dark" or "Darkness" instead.This film, however, is ultimately only going to be of interest to fans of the other "Sometimes They Come Back" films, and it would be of limited interest even then.

As everyone seems to indicate, the beginning of this very strongly smelled of The Thing, but once people started turning up not-dead-anymore the smell went bad.This was only a sequel to the second of the "Sometimes They Come Back" films, by way of the demonic characters wandering about in it. Those who have seen it will probably be aware that the original movie in this 'trilogy' had nothing to do with demons coming to Earth, unless you consider the ghostly bullies being sent Hellwards at the end demonic. But the film makers did try to make this one fit in with the franchise by inserting, at around 44 minutes, the names of the leading characters from the other two films (Jim Norman and John Porter) on the pentagrammed-up map of the demonic world. Nice try, but it's a bit of a weak connection.Plus the whole movie ends up generally ruined by curious spacial continuity (eg. Demons run faster than elevators), general predictability (guess where the ring ends up), unfortunate acting ("Oh my, I can't go on" *collapse* (to be fair, that must have been in the script)) and a dire ending. And, as has been noted by others, Leeta was a much better female lead than Ms Faith Ford. Sorry, I meant Chase Masterson, not Leeta... Silly me.Don't avoid this movie. Just be aware you might not enjoy it...

It's amazing what can be done with a low budget film. You can provide work for shoe salesmen to be actors and for plumbers to be directors. I don't know what the budget for this epic flop may have been but I doubt it was more than seven dollars and twelve cents. What part of "dreadful" do the producers not understand? I've seen many bad films. I've seldom seen one that so effectively combines bad writing, bad acting, bad production and bad staging. It's appearance on television should have been delayed until (the US) Thanksgiving because few families will be able to manage such a giant turkey,

I expected this movie to be something similar to The thing with Kurt Russel, which was a pretty good movie. Unfortunately the Ice station was degrading exponentially as it approached the end. Two sons of Satan meeting in the Antartics and playing around some pentagram altar is a bit below my taste of a good screenplay. It was a complete waste of money and time to see this movie, so I advise everyone to spend them somewhere else.
