After time away from the ice, elite figure skater Megan returns to training, only to find that a killer targeting skaters is giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “cutthroat competition.” Starring Maddison Bullock and Natasha Calis (2024).
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Now, I LOVE figure skating, so this movie has much to live up to. Here we go!
Inspired by True Events.
We start off at the ice rink, which is fitting since it is in the title. A male figure skater named Brian as he does some slow twizzles into a big finish. (He will only get anywhere with a quad axel!) He is supposed to be meeting someone named Lyndsey at midnight, but instead, someone slashes his ankle. You think it is going to be a Tonya Harding situation, but then Brian is run over by a Zamboni.
Cut to Megan (played by the lovely Maddison Bullock, also the writer of this film.) who has put her figure skating dreams on hold to help her mother beat cancer.
A coach stops by and asks Megan to take a scholarship that was given to Lyndsey, but that skater has injured her back. Megan’s mother wants her daughter to take the opportunity, but Megan doesn’t want to ditch her mother.
When moving into her training camp, Megan literally runs into another handsome skater named Trevor. (He kind of has a mullet, but that is normal for Canadian skaters, right?) There is an even hotter hockey player named Max; he compliments Megan’s skating. (But was he sent by the coach?) Max and Trevor used to be teammates.
While sharpening her blades, Megan meets Trevor’s skating partner, Carly. Carly is obsessed with social media and her public image. She used to be Brian’s skating partner, but he has gone MIA.
Not everyone is as nice as Carly; Lyndsey is a straight-up BIOTCH to Megan’s face. (Later, she is rude to Megan in ballet class.) Lyndsey tells Megan she is shameless for garnering sympathy with her mother’s cancer backstory. Carly injures herself in class when someone puts glass in her shoe.
Max is the next skater to get attacked, this time in the locker room. He fights with someone in a hockey mask. Earlier that day, the coach warned him to avoid Megan because he distracts her from training. Max gets the hint and avoids Megan while nursing his bruised body and ego.
Carly gives Megan some pointers on her social media game. Later on the ice, Megan asks Trevor to help her film some content on the ice. They heavily flirt.
Randomly, the ice-sharpening guy is suffocated in the back room with a hockey glove. He doesn’t die, but he is rattled and talks to the police detectives. Then they find the body of a Paris skater in the store room, and the detectives arrest the blade guy.
Carly has a complete meltdown, and Megan comforts her and tells Carly how homesick she is. The girls cry together about being lonely and, I think, truly become friends in this moment.
It is the night before the ice skating auditions (or something), and Trevor and Megan hit the ice to get in more practice time. They kiss, and someone takes their picture from afar.
Megan is heading to her car for the big performance when the masked stalker attacks her. Megan calls 911, and the detective tells her it was just someone playing a prank. Coach is PISSED that Megan missed her audition and told her to stop hanging out with Trevor.
Megan decides to post her entire practice falls and all #RideThroughTheStorm. The post goes viral, and Megan is excited to work with a sponsor. When she shows Carly, Carly gets jealous. But things turn around when Megan asks to post a joint video together.
Word gets out about Trevor and Megan dating, and a red-carpet interviewer is all up in their business. (They have red carpets for figure skating?) On the same red carpet, Megan bumps into Max and warns her about her coach.
Megan confronts the coach, but it doesn’t go well. The coach tells Megan to end things with Trevor or else. Megan doesn’t listen and goes for a drive with him, but the breaks go out, and they crash into a tree, leaving Trevor injured.
With the stress of everything going on, Megan takes a night to be with her mom. While she is gone, the hockey-masked killer takes out the coach. Megan talks to detectives, and they are interested in her fight with her coach.
Lyndsey is still lurking around and tells Megan to turn herself in. Then Lyndsey is hit in the head and knocked out by the hockey mask killer, who turns out to be Carly.
Down in whatever is under the rink, Carly shouts about all the terrible things she has done and the people she killed—Carly waves around an ice skating shoe instead of a kitchen knife. Lyndsey films the whole thing on a live, and the police come to the rescue.
Lyndsey and Megan make up and have a healthy rivalry, Blade is released from jail, and Trevor is back to dating Megan. Megan skates out on the ice for her long program, which we see none of.
Side Note/Stray Thoughts
Alternate Title: Death Spiral
Seems like Maddison Bullock has figure skating training and was once a competitive skater.
The second most famous hockey-masked killer.

I couldn’t get past Brian’s Napolean Dynomite fro in the beginning. Started wondering what time period were we in.
Max, if nothing else for the accent. Megan is a bundle of sunshine and rainbows. Can’t even hate on her. The practice with the brother was like a scene from the 80s movie about the bitter hockey player sidelined and who has to figure skate. The coach reprimanding her like a child, after she arrives late, without letting her get a word in. A huge pet peeve. And…the person in the mask was built like a man. So…thought maybe it was a twin thing.
Not as many kills as I thought there would be
