Frozen in Fear ★★ The Flying Dutchman 2000

Variation on the 1933 film “The Mystery of the Wax Museum” and the Vincent Price 1953 remake “House of Wax.” Admiring art dealer Oxenberg tracks reclusive painter Roberts down to his remote cabin in Montana. Turns out the artist uses real female bodies for his work—killing young women, arranging them in provocative poses, and then encasing them in ice. Will Oxenberg become part of his next tableau? 91m/C VHS, DVD . Eric Roberts, Catherine Oxenberg, Rod Steiger, Scott Plank, Barry Sigismondi, Joan Benedict, Douglas Sebern; D: Robin P. Murray. VIDEO
