Filming took place in the Cape Town area which is where Tremors 5 was filmed . The opening scene was filmed in the desert made to look like snow with filters and video processing techniques . The nice weather was explained by climate change causing unusual warmth in the area . Having worked on the previous film series, the crew used CGI for many of the Graboid scenes . </P> <P> Tim Janson of The SciFi Movie Page gave the film 2 stars out of 5 saying, "While none of the Tremors sequels (nor the one prequel) have ever been able to hold a candle to the original, A Cold Day in Hell is definitely one to miss .
