This Russian film has a few more little logical mistakes. First it feels like mysterious and thriller film, but then it suddenly giving you psychological horror. You know what, i like this transformating hha. And i must mention about new jumpscare technique in this movie. It is not that much scary but weird and creepy. Mainly this useful technique is hyping me out. And most beautiful thing about this movie. It has a insanely good cinematography. Little bit dark and cinematic light and definitely has a cool and cold atmosphere hits in. Because it titled Ice demon. First i reading the title and thought its about mythical Russian monster but it isn't. It is psychological and dark, arthouse horror film. Not bad i guess.

Ok so this isn't any hidden classic and in the end it was no great shakes. It probably would've earned another star from me were it just subtitled.

The English dubbing is just atrocious! It takes the mood right out of the movie. I'm sure it at least had a creepy vibe in its original language with subtitles...but the dubbing removes this completely. It sounds very unnatural. One would think voice actors who are being paid to dub English voices would have some skills in this department but nope, not here. They may as well have been reading the owner's manual for a toaster. Subtitles are preferable folks, at least give us the option!

I lost interest almost immediately and just left it on while I played chess and looked on eBay. It just seemed like a really boring movie to me. I was glad when it finished.
