Scientists discover that a red liquid leaking from a nearby glacier contains organisms that turn living hosts into deadly mutants.

Yes, this is gruesome Euro-horror about the climate apocalypse and the possible end of life on earth as we know it, but it's also fun for the whole family.

"Blood Glacier" is too sleepy to do anything with its guano-stirring premise.

Sometimes genre-based filmmakers don't know how to make their material fun without making fun of their material, but that's not a failing of Mr. Kren's.

3/5

The title and imagery of "Blood Glacier" is undeniably evocative, especially in the realm of snowy-inspired eco-terror, but it never seems to want to accomplish anything outside of its concept.

Blood Glacier reads like a SyFy movie, but quality-wise it's several miles above teetering up in the mountaintops of B-movie-dom

While the film isn't a complete misfire, its ever so light creature twist isn't enough to make this memorable.

I don’t know why the other reviews have to dis this because it’s got climate change woven in, it seems like the filmmakers wanted to make a movie in tribute to The Thing. Even though it’s not nearly as good, they made a solid movie with good characters in my opinion, totally worth the watch!

More Scandinavian climate fetishism.

While the film borrows a lot from certain films in the genre. The effects and the gonzo nature makes it an solid movie

I stuck around until the creatures started getting featured and then I was out. Better cgi in Sharknado.

Blutgletscher (Arbeitstitel: Glazius) ist ein Horrorfilm von Regisseur Marvin Kren… Auf einer Klimaforschungsstation in den Alpen geraten die Wissenschaftler ins Staunen, als aus dem nahen gelegenen schmelzenden Gletscher eine rote Flüssigkeit austritt… Ein deutschsprachiger Tierhorrorfilm, in dem der Klimawandel im Hintergrund ist… Die einfache, aber effektive Geschichte nimmt ihren vorhersehbaren Lauf… Der Film erinnert mich irgendwie an John Carpenter's The Thing…

I admired The Thing-style practical effects, but the digital effects were poor. Also, that ending was RIDICULOUS.
