The Icebox Murders

About This Movie

The Icebox Murders is a curious little slice of horror from 1982 that dives into the mind of a deranged killer. There’s a chilling atmosphere right from the start, with a grim tone that hangs over every frame. The pacing is deliberate, building a creeping dread that's almost suffocating at times. What stands out, in my opinion, are the practical effects – they’re raw and gritty, adding a sense of realism that digital doesn’t quite capture. The performances, while not always polished, bring a certain authenticity to the characters, making their plight feel all the more harrowing. It’s a film that doesn’t hold back on its darker themes and leaves you with a lingering discomfort long after it ends.
