The Refrigerator is a 1991 supernatural comedy horror film starring Julia McNeal, Dave Simonds and Angel Caban.
[2] As an independent production with a limited budget, the filmmakers decided not to get the film rated by the MPAA and as a result it was released straight to video and promptly disappeared.
Steve is slowly driven to insanity by the refrigerator's influence, leaving Eileen to cope with her acting career on her own.
TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, and stated "The Refrigerator is billed as a supernatural horror comedy which ultimately is its downfall - too many chickens in the pot.
First-time director Nicholas Jacobs's juxtaposition of genres is compelling in thought, but unfortunately on film the results just don't measure up.
While the basic premise of The Refrigerator - take a couple of dream yuppies and plop them into a world of madness and horror - is satirical and wry, the final results aren't very satisfying.
On top of this, Jacobs throws in a couple of ultraserious segments involving the mother-daughter relationship that are completely out of place.
