Better Late Then Never
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Stephan Hammond
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I can honestly say the girl on the cover in G-string and pasties looks like something that is part of the film. Imagine that. There is a deranged killer on the loose in Lancaster Park, Canada. He makes a lot of noise as he constantly grunts. His background is introduced about 50 minutes into the film. Say "hello" to Moe (William Jarand). The "Pinup Dolls" is the name of group of five young ladies who perform a burlesque style show, entertaining men, but drawing the line. They don't do nudity. Our killer likes to put dead girls on ice...and then use them.This is an eighties style slasher filmed in Canada. Humorous banter, plenty of blood, some nudity, and not much in creating characters. In the first scene, Kristy (Ashley Laventure) is all set up to be our "Final Girl" ...Guide: F-word, FF nudity (Ashley Laventure, Emily Crighton plus some corpses.) Necrophilia.

Oh boy, just what the horror world needed
a lousy sequel to lousy 2009 slasher Bikini Girls On Ice. This one picks up where the last one left off, with wheezing maniac mechanic Moe (William Jarand) targeting a new group of girls: the performers of a burlesque show.There are just two things that a film of this nature needs to deliver: hot girls, preferably unclothed, and creative kills with lots of gore. Although Pinup Dolls on Ice definitely delivers more nudity than its predecessor, the girls really aren't all that attractive (if I had paid to see them strip, I'd want my money back!), and the death scenes are extremely disappointing, special effects limited to some fake blood liberally splashed about, and a severed head in the film's closing moments.Here's a run down of what you can expect if, like me, you decide to watch against your better judgement: a totally naked chick with a ridiculous trout pout and silicon breasts, an irritating slacker dude with long hair, a gratuitous shower scene, lots and lots of uninspired screaming and running and hiding in the dark, a spot of necrophilia, loads of poorly acted conversation between the irritating strippers, a predictable death for the cop (it's meant to be a surprise, but I saw it coming a mile away), a 'shock' final act in which the last survivor also dies (yawn), and an epilogue that promises a third movie which I'll still probably watch even though I know it'll be crap.2.5 out of 10, rounded up to 3 for at least trying with the nekkidness.

After watching this and reading a review by someone who compares this with great movies like "High Tension" and "Wolf Creek", it's obvious that that particular review had to be written by family of the director, his wife, his best friend, or something like that. "Pin-up Dolls" is a sequel to "Bikini Girls on Ice" (I'm certainly not going to watch that one..) and we have the same killer named "Moe" who growls the entire time and stalks a couple of strippers who in real life could even be strippers, but certainly no actors. Their performances are awful to watch, all the cardboard characters are painfully annoying, every second you hope they get killed right away. The dialogue is unintentionally funny and probably made up at the spot. The story makes no sense at all, the girls have plenty of opportunity to run away but instead they stay and hide, or even walk into the arms of the killer, who's isn't menacing or even convincing. Help arrives in the form of the local sheriff: in this peril situation he's surprisingly calm and takes all the time in the world to explain the entire back-story to the girls. Knowing that the killer is out there, he just walks outside without any protection and gets killed..Basically, it's a hard movie to sit through. It's even harder not to touch the "fast-forward" button, but besides the nudity (well, at least there's plenty of that but don't get too excited) the only reason why you keep on watching is because it's a slasher movie: so there has to be special effects and a couple of nice killings. Again, a big no-no: the FX are limited to screaming women covered in blood, blood spraying, blood on the walls and a couple of post-mortem wounds. Yep, the budget was very limited on this one. You're relieved when the credits finally roll, but also a little confused: there's no real ending, it just kind of stops and (here's where the real horror starts..) even leaves an open door for a sequel..! Clearly inspired by classics like "Friday the 13th" - Parts 1 & 2 in particular, you're better off watching those again instead of wasting 85 minutes here. Want something more recent, watch "You're Next".

This one takes place shortly after Bikini Girls On Ice(2009) where the killer named Moe is putting some new girls on ice. These girls are the Pinup Girls who are doing a party for some clients nearby. Moe fresh from the Bikini Girls proceeds to ice up these ladies. He seems to be grunting more than ever and appears to be on methadone as his spastic outbursts dictate. This one is better than the first for sure. The filmmakers had more experience and money for this one and it shows. Fast paced, gripping violence and even more nudity than the first. Worth the watch. Follows most slasher formats so don't expect much more but maybe another On Ice down the road. Kudos to all the people involved in the film. 5/10.
