Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

FROZEN IMPACT is a typically cheesy TV disaster movie in which a small town is assailed by a violent hailstorm that brings death and destruction to its inhabitants. The story is complicated by the efforts to save the life of an ailing child who is in desperate need of a liver transplant. Said liver is being transplanted in a small plane which is brought down by the hail, so those involved have only a few hours to transfer it to the new owner.This is cheesy stuff indeed, always emphasising overwrought family emotion in place of suspense or tension. The hail scenes are generally a mixed bag although some rather poor CGI stands out, not only in the storm scenes but for plane flights and crashes and the like. As usual the running time is padded out by lots of extraneous material, here involving the offspring of the protagonist who decides to go rock climbing during a storm and has to subsequently be rescued. Stacy Keach is the only recognisable participant and he does make an effort here, bless him, although his performance is wasted in a generally below par film.

Wow! What a Great Movie!!!! I caught Frozen Impact on PAX TV and I must say that movie was great!!! As TV movies go you could not get much better. Great action scenes and a great cast. Loved Stacy Keach!! Tons of cool action sceans and very beautiful Vermont Scenes. Film probably had a 2 million budget but it looked like maybe closer to 20 million so great use of $ proving that cheap movies with a great cast and story can rock!!!!

This has to be one of the most worst movies I have seen in a long time. It is predictable, the special effects are sorry and the acting isn't that great either. I think an 8 year old could write a better story.

"Frozen Impact" is typical of many TV movies that deal with the weather. It is a safe film for the family, which is quite an accomplishment these days, but it lacks in other areas. It has the typical plot of a family juggling work, health, and relationship concerns while a fierce hail storm named "Medusa" rolls through town. The hail storm is way overdone, as baseball sized hailstones fall intermittenly on a town in Vermont. The hail is unrealistic. Though the main focus of the movie is the weather, there doesn't seem to be much knowledge about how the weather works among the producers, directors, and writers of this film. I ended up losing patience with the film. But for those eternal optimists, there is a happy ending. I rate this movie 2 out of 10.
