This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Blistering performances.

Blood, screaming, mutant creatures... So, in this world climate change has become so bad that huge areas have no ice anymore. One of those places is the Alps.They have some scientists up there, trying to figure it all out. But, like it all horror and creature movies, something happens. They find a glacier that is covered in a red substance. Then, all hell is let loose.The creatures are these odd mutant hybrids of animal and something. Totally has the feel of John Carpenter's The Thing.It's in German, but on Netflix it was dubbed and subbed in English.Over all not a bad movie, had it's slow points, and a bit too much screaming at times.. But, it reminds me a lot of the creature movies I grew up watching. It also had some nice funny moments, and a cute little love story between a dude and his dog.

Really, how many movies feature ibexes, let alone a mutant ibex-fly that gets a drill in the noggin by a feisty granny? This may entice you to watch "Blood Glacier" next time you see it in the Netflix lineup of terrible, terrible horror/scifi movies. If you dimly remember having heard about this Alpine tale of terror, it's worth a six-pack and a bag of chips.While beautifully photographed, offering amazing views of bleak ice and mountains, this movie hasn't got a clue what it wants to do. Convince you of global warming? Scare you with mutant hybrid creatures that look like stuffed animals you'd win at a carnival? Tear your heart out with thwarted love and dog death? Make you laugh uproariously at the absolutely insane behavior of "smart" scientists? Teach you not to cry while eating bananas? BG is all this, and more.Throw these movies into a blender: The Thing, Alien, Day of the Animals, Old Yeller, Sound of Music, and that moldy oldie from the 50s, Night of the Blood Beast (the very first movie to speculate that humans make great hosts for birthing alien infants). Turn on blender. Wait about 80 minutes. Pour out your scifi smoothie and wonder how this ever got made. Take a drink of your liquid every time someone says "rabid fox", which in German sounds like "rabbit fuxes". Tack on one of the strangest endings you'll ever see and wonder if someone slipped LSD into your movie smoothie. No kidding.Pray there's no sequel. Four stars for insanity. One star for Tinni, the best goshdarn dog actor in the world. One star, because ibexes. Six is the magic number for this smelly sausage of a movie that features someone walking around a glacier in dirty underpants.Enjoy the schadenfreud!

It is good if you look to it as an experiment for German movies and European one at all, even if there is a better European movies than that and i have seen a better European movies but i will not go Tough on this one,finally it's a Horror movie, and don't forget that the production country is "Austria" so it's a great experiment....the visuals could be better and the monsters was so clumsyin the end of it i liked this Little "Merkel" a great performance for her specially.... the cast was not bad at all and i liked them, and they convince me as far as the role written for them

Just as the title of this review says, this film is nothing short of an ugly hybrid (lets call it a Prius!). I say this as the similarities between this film and the Alien franchise are beyond obvious.The synopsis itself mirrors that of the Alien films in that they both feature a common element; hosts that incorporate their characteristics into their mutant offspring. Don't forget that these offspring just so happen to hate humans and are on a mission to destroy them all. This does nothing but show the viewer that no matter how many ways you try to recreate something special (adding romantic tones, animals, more science, and more drama in general), it just looks stupid (for lack of a better word). Even though it mirrors the Alien franchise significantly, it can be somewhat refreshing (and comically) to view as the alien looks more like The Fly...
