Horror Short Review: Ice Trays (2022)

From purveyors of horror, Deformed Lunchbox, comes Ice Trays. A short that might make you look at an ice tray differently going forward.

Starring Jacqueline Poorter, Miranda Rose and Abbey Sholzberg, Ice Trays is not for the faint of heart. Beginning with a woman removing an ice tray from her freezer only to find the cubes are bright red. In fact, they almost look like blood cubes.

After confronting her daughter about it, she decides to have a taste and we get this really great shot of the cube melting slightly on her tongue. Her daughter arriving behind her stops her going any further with the ice cube taste as she reveals that she has been self-harming. Those ice cubes? They’re made up of her blood.

So naturally the mother freaks out and has a lot to deal with, right? This is a Deformed Lunchbox film and twisted horror is what they do. Be prepared to be shocked, maybe a little grossed out, but definitely entertained. It’s gleefully messed up, there’s not a single line of dialogue, but makes for one hell of a memorable watch because of this.

A must see, as most shorts from this company are, check it out below.
