ICE FROM THE SUN is a nightmare ride from writer/director Eric Stanze's
imagination! Wicked Pixel Cinema presents an artistic journey through
chaos that only Stanze could deliver! This is a film to grab late at
night and watch in the dark. It is hard edge and experimental, like
nothing you've seen before.
With that in mind, it is difficult to describe a plot beyond the premise
of Alison's journey through this otherworld dominated by a being known
as The Presence. At the start of the movie, Stephen is to pray, on
wounded knees, to the being ...and then Stephen's head explodes in a
blanket of gore! Then a killer credit sequence erupts on screen! Full
of imagery and imagination! Simply amazing work!
ICE is loaded with so much imagery and SOUND that a simple viewing will
not do. You have to submerge yourself in it and WATCH and LISTEN. It
has an artistic approach that we loved! Perhaps it's the
no-holds-barred barrage that Eric Stanze delivers that appeals to us
...or the beautiful experimentation of color and camera. The fact is,
the camera is not a spectator, but a participant in the movie. No
static, unmoving, boring images here! This movie grabs you and doesn't
let go in that respect!
As far as Alison's involvement with The Presence and why she is there,
it is best told through watching the movie. She is the only one that
can hunt down and kill the being. But the dimension The Presence
occupies is his own. Full of insanity and blood and horror and chaos
and destruction, one wonders if she'll make it. If she'll accomplish
her task. If she'll even survive.
ICE FROM THE SUN is a movie you should watch for the experience and the
art. It is not your ordinary narrative movie, but one of visual and
editing importance. It stands as a testimony that you can make a
non-traditional movie that kicks ass! A movie that doesn't follow the
Hollywood formulas or one that relies on hack 'em and slash 'em teen
killers. This is a movie that packs a punch in it's own way ...and has
made low-budget history.
All we can say is "wow!" Eric Stanze has made a movie unlike anything
we have seen... This is an art film in many respects, full of
imagination, and also a dark entertaining ride into a sick, twisted
realm of disease, torture, and death.
Shot on Super-8 film, transferred and edited by Eric Stanze as well,
indicating the level of dedication he has to his craft! We loved his
movie SAVAGE HARVEST, but this one is tops! We cannot express how wild
this movie is! Kudos to Eric!!! Excellent and insane!
As we watch the film, we cannot help but realize the effort put into
this movie by all. No way was making this film easy. Too much work.
Too many shots. Simply amazing!
The experimental nature of the imagery dictates that many tests and
imaginative camera setups were employed and worked out to get the
desired results. You have to check it out. This movie defies to be
categorized or classified.
Killer soundtrack! Killer attitude! Killer Movie! Pick it up now and
experience one hell of a trip!
