Hypothermia is a 2012 American independent horror film written and directed by James Felix McKenney.

[1] It stars Michael Rooker, Blanche Baker, Greg Finley, Don Wood and Amy Chang.

[2] The film centers on a family out ice fishing only to discover that something deadly is stalking them from the icy waters.

On an icy lake, Ray Pelletier scouts out a good ice fishing spot for his family.

Helen asks David and Gina what their plans are after college, and they mention that they will be joining the Peace Corps and going to Uganda following graduation.

Later while walking back to their fishing hole, the family spots the creature heading straight for the men.

The family urges Steve to take him to the hospital, but he refuses, implying his son is too tough to need a doctor.

In the morning, Gina reveals she and David had planned to get married before going into the Peace Corps, and that they were going to announce it last night at dinner, but never got a chance with all that happened.

Hypothermia was shot in Mayfield, New York at Great Sacandaga Lake, finishing in March 2010.

The review did, however write, "That said, there’s still enjoyment to be derived from both the competently made and laughably bad sides of Hypothermia.

"[5] Rob Getz from HorrorNews.net stated that the film started out strong, with good cinematography, building of tension, and establishment of its sparse characters.

However, Getz further stated that the film was ruined by the "cheesy" monster costume, and anticlimactic finale, calling it "a shameful waste of potential".

Vasquez concluded his review by writing, "I wish I could recommend this and boast about it being a hidden gem, but in the end it’s merely forgettable and only worth trying for the sake of Rooker.
