Iced (film)

Iced is a 1989 American slasher film directed by Jeff Kwitny and produced by Robert Seibert. The cast includes Debra De Liso, Doug Stevenson, Elizabeth Gorcey, Ron Kologie, Joseph Alan Johnson (who also wrote the screenplay), and Lisa Loring. The story centers on a group of friends who receive a mysterious invitation to a ski resort, where a masked killer begins stalking and murdering them.

Four years after their friend Jeff died in a nighttime skiing accident after being rejected by his lover, several childhood friends—couples Trina and Cory; physician John and Diane; Eddie and Jeanette; and Carl—arrive at Snow Peak, a newly renovated luxury ski resort. They have been mysteriously invited for an exclusive New Year's Eve event by real estate developer Alex Bourne. Eddie, traveling alone, is killed before reaching the resort by an attacker using a snowplow while he is parked on a road. Diane and John are also driving nearby. Jeanette waits for Eddie, while Trina feels guilty about Jeff's death, as the friends believe he committed suicide after finding Diane having sex with John. Carl has nightmares about Jeff, and Jeanette, with Eddie absent, seduces Alex Bourne when he visits the group at their chalet. Jeanette then receives a mysterious call from someone pretending to be Eddie, who says he is "here with Jeff now." Alex recognizes Jeff's name, claiming Jeff was on the guest list and accepted the invitation. The group suspects Jeff's invitation came from a mailing list from the resort they visited four years earlier. Tensions rise, Alex leaves, and the friends argue about Jeff's death. John reveals he found a newspaper clipping about Jeff's death in Trina's room.

John is called to the hospital for an emergency C-section. As he and Diane try to leave, the killer, wearing a ski suit, impales John through the throat with a ski pole and stabs Diane to death with a large icicle. Jeanette relaxes in the hot tub, where the killer electrocutes her by throwing an electric heater into the water. The electrical short causes a power outage, waking Carl. He sees the killer waving a kerosene lantern, investigates, and is killed in a bear trap, accidentally firing his revolver. The gunfire wakes Cory, who is stabbed in the chest in the kitchen. At dawn, Trina wakes and finds an injured Cory still alive, along with the corpses of Jeanette, Diane, John, and Carl.
