==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: not rated (equivalent to an 'R' for Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===

A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Goopy body horror and frozen tentacle-monsters might suggest a remote kinship with ''[[At the Mountains of Madness (fiction)]]'', but a more likely ancestry could probably be found in the likes of ''[[Alien (1979 franchise)]]'', ''[[The Thing (1982 franchise)]]'', ''[[The Fly (1986 franchise)]]'', ''[[The Relic (1997 film)]]''; ultimately, the result was no more (and arguably less) "Lovecraftian" than any of the '80s body horror movies that inspired it.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of
how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* [[Ywhateley|Y.Whateley]] - "A mostly-harmless Euro retread of the usual 1980s sci-fi/horror movies (Alien, The Thing, The Fly, The Relic), set on a melting polar glacier; loose comparisons might be drawn to ''At the Mountains of Madness'', but it's really not very 'Lovecraftian'...."
* Marina Antunes at ([http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2013/12/WFF-2013-Mutated-Creatures-Havoc-In-THE-STATION-Review Quiet Earth]) - "...A pretty great creature feature and exactly the kind of movie you'd want to see with some rowdy friends and a few drinks..."
* Martin Leggett at ([http://horrorfreaknews.com/blood-glacier-2014-review/5107 HorrorFreak News])(3/5 Stars) - "...Shamelessly silly but is all the more fun for it and stands as one of the least serious and craziest horror movies to come from IFC this year..."
* Richard Scheib at ([http://moria.co.nz/horror/blood-glacier-2013.htm The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review]) (2/5 Stars) - "...You keep expecting all of this to mount to something amazing, or at the very least a gruelling to-the-last-man siege. Alas, the film finishes unsatisfyingly, feeling like it almost travels there but only succeeds in going part of the way...."

==Synopsis (SPOILERS)==
