ICE FROM THE SUN:
Depravity. Hostility. Insanity. And other acts of God.

Review by: AngryPrincess

This has to be one of the oddest movies I have seen thus far in my movie reviewing career.

“Ice From The Sun” from Eric Stanze is like this biblical, almost mythical story. A wizard named Ambolin created a world surrounded by ice, another dimension for him and his apprentice known as The Presence to rule over and play God.

The more humans The Presence killed the more stronger and powerful he’d become. He was then shunned from the angels above and the demons below- he was so nasty he had his own realm.

The angels and devils joined forces for the sole fact they needed to destroy The Presence before it was to late. Since they can not penetrate the ice themselves they choose a human named Alison to do so. Once thru the ice Alison must confront and destroy The Presence- she must make him remember he was a man who once loved, roamed the Earth and that even he was once afraid of death since he was just a mere mortal like us. Can she break thru his strong intention of not remembering?

All of these crazy images and colors blend into this dream like film that doesn’t seem to make sense yet everything just seems to fit. Eric Stanze has plenty of ideas and he isn’t afraid to use them and that’s important in the filmmaking world today. Fresh ideas are hard to come by and shock value is next to nil in today’s horror films, Stanze isn’t afraid to be extreme- he fuckin lives for it! There is an extensive list of films under this man’s belt and many more to come at us in the future, cheers to the new King of Shock!
