I read Justin Felix's DVD review of The Thaw at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=38659 and...I can't believe this guy! What a moron! This film is a trite, boring, repellent abomination. The acting by all ranks with some of the worst SYFY movies for TV. One can only guess who Val was sleeping with. The director? Or has his career really hit rock bottom. Not that he was ever a great actor. Avoid this at all costs. Luckily I saw it free.
