Aside from instances of blood shown onscreen, the film's visual effects were created without the use of computer-generated imagery. John Renna, who portrays the character Ethan, constructed a full-size shark head to use during filming.[8] Effects artists Andrew Lavin and Arick Szymecki created a miniature shark head, as well as several landscapes, to be used in the film. Some of the film's scenes were shot on weekends in order to prevent the melting of snow due to the arrival of spring. Qualiana noted that "it was tough getting all the exterior shots before the snow melted. We cancelled some shoots due to warm weather and managed to do some cutaways outside with fake snow".[8]
Brett Gallmann of the website Oh, the Horror! criticized the film's "amateurism, from the acting to the hastily sloshed upon digital effects", likening it to a "no-budget Troma affair" that "excels at being mostly forgettable".[4] John Lyle of the website Bloodbath & Beyond gave the film a score of 0.5/5, criticizing the brief overall time that the snow shark is shown onscreen.[11] 2ff7e9595c
