MadyNora: Ahm... I'm sorry if I disappoint you, but I haven't actually "played" the game...
Back then in elementary school I spent all my afternoons at my friends place, because our moms were friends, and my mom was working. And he played Prisoner of Ice. Over, and over, and over again. I was terrified by it! It gave me nightmares, I started seeing the monster in my dreams, and the picture of the dead body in the container made me scream, cry, and gave me sleepless nights. Don't blame me... I was no more than 10.
My friend of course mocked me, and laughed at me -.-*
I only liked the (I think) Buenos Aires level. I always asked him to let me play that one level. No scary stuff, just a peaceful library^^
I googled the game now, and I didn't get terrified by the pictures now, not even by the dead body, but back then it truly was a terrible experience for me :(
Don't get me wrong, as far as I remember the game itself is quite good, but it's definetly not made for a 10 years old girl :(
You can safely play it, as far as I remember there is no gory stuff, even 'The Dig' by LucasArts is more gory in that part where you saw one of your team member's arms off. I even think Max from Sam&Max is more scary than the monsters in Prisoner of Ice.

It's ok to be scared, when I watched 'Ronia the Robber's Daughter' as a kid I had nightmares from that for years, whenever it got dark in a dream anywhere around a forest, I'd see many pairs of glowing red eyes coming closer and I thought it's the stone trolls from the movie. I watched the movie again recently and almost fell off the chair from laughter, this stuff is so not scary, at all...
