BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Susan Armstrong Even the opening scene was boring,a bunch of blokes playing poker around a table,there was a cat though....I should have turned off in the first ten minutes when absolutely nothing happened,but the premise sounded good.My partner went to bed after the cat was 'sacarificed',he hates animals dying in movies,plus the cat did nothing wrong.Anyway,we never do find out who,why or what killed puss.SLOWLY,and I mean SLOWLY the movie gains momentum,actually no,that's a lie it NEVER gains momentum.After over an hour of watching the cast 'self harm',shoot and amputate each other for no reason other than they have somehow contracted a long dead 'virus' that turns them insane,you now have the story line.Now throw in a 'scary'deer monster that tells the remaining crew to kill each other,and you basically have the rest of the movie.Finally, after almost two hours it ends abruptly leaving me totally underwhelmed and with more questions than answers as to what this movie was about....Fascinating stuff!!!
Gmork76 For some reason I find this movie amusing and quite interesting. The buildup with the amazing north Canadian landscape backdrop is similar to that of The Thing. Both films has cold remote locations where strange things slowly begin to happen. In this film what "The being/it", is left unexplained and it's up to you to figure it out. It is not as gory as The Thing but it has some moments that made it hard for me to go to sleep the night I watched it. It has something to do with that Deer 'Thing' that's making several appearances and utters some really corny lines but nevertheless is an eerie apparition to see in the dark. The film is filled with goofs, loose ends and a lot of unanswered questions. Some actors stands out and some are not so good. But mostly they are doing a good job capturing the paranoia and cabin fever'ish mood. Stupid goofs like, "we have two weeks worth of supply and gas for the generator" Why not conserve it? no use generator even during daylight. It's "50 below outside" yet we see a clear thawing :-D What happened to the squid infested arm that was chopped off? No explanation or examinations of that arm, why? And Why was the cat sacrificed? By whom? And finally, what was the deer "thing"?! A god? An alien? A manifestation of cabin fever ? I watched this on Bluray, and it really gives the beautiful cold landscape it's own right. Can recommend this. If you watch it with low expectations you might find it has a moment or two.
hoytyhoyty Have to bucket this piece of try-hard garbage. Have to. Because it wasted an hour and 40 minutes of my time, and left me and my S.O. basically bored and depressed that we could have done something more fun with the evening.AFTER THE FILM STARTED OFF SO WELL! At around the half-hour mark, whoever the good writer was just departed, and left a bunch of fumbling, drug-soaked idiots to finish off. Except they never finish, this thing drags itself along like an animated severed limb for the remaining hour.It's so bad. It's so, so bad. And it's just amazingly so, because IT STARTED OFF SO WELL! No direction. No purpose. SHOCKING script errors where important elements get forgotten 2 seconds later. Attempts to imitate great stories like The Thing ('Who Goes There' by JW Campbell) - except it can't even do a decent homage because it's such a confused, slow moving, boring MESS! Worst kind of film. The kind that deserves punishment. Somebody should be made to pay for this. Because it STARTED OFF SO WELL, sucked us in, then turned on us. It soaked us in bile. It vomited over us. It urinated in our faces.Do not, EVER, watch this film. You will kick your TV screen in.YES, it REALLY IS that bad.- -- ---
RickH1710 Seriously, how much did this movie cost?***SPOILERS*** First of all, there is a group of man people, that found something, then you think well, this is gonna be interesting, maybe they gonna dig it up, but NO.All of the man are going one by one become crazy. Somebody cut his hand of... looks fake. And somebodies arm is cutting off. Then there is the guy who's hand is cut off, he says nothing anymore and eats nothing and then out of nowhere he shot his self through his head, k that sound crazy right? but then there is a guy who is gonna do a autopsy on him.And then comes the funniest part you can see him breading, You can see him breathing through his stomach. MAAA GOD this movie is bad.And there is a weird voice that meant to be scary.
