Formally titled THE STATION (where it is know in it’s Austrian homeland), a tense UK trailer has surfaced for gripping science-fiction body horror BLOOD GLACIER. The film is directed by Marvin Kren and is gaining some impressive reviews where many are comparing its gruesome style to the classic John Carpenter remake, THE THING. It certainly has that sort of brooding isolated tone and throwing in a few grotesque creatures always adds another exciting element for genre fans. I’m in!
Working in a remote outpost of the German Alps, technician Janek and a cohort of scientists are stunned to discover a bleeding blood glacier parked high up in the mountain range. As the gory infected berg melts the blood attracts the local wildlife only to transform them into hellish hybrids and monstrous mutations. As this fusion of nightmarish creatures evolves in the life-giving mountain air, a second group including Janek’s ex-girlfriend advance towards the base in what will become a showdown of humans vs. nature upended into giant wood lice, beetle-foxes, crossbreed flying predators and much, much worse. Imagine every creature that makes you shiver fused into one and meet your ultimate fears up at Blood Glacier!
BLOOD GLACIER is released on DVD from the 20th January 2014
