I listened to Sean Hogan and Kim Newman's commentary of The Ice House last night in the hope of getting some explanations.

Nope. Zilch! It did intrigue as they kept referring to the owners of the spa as vampires. I presume it was metaphorically unless the bodies in the ice house were there as cold storage for blood.
