When a lone researcher out in an arctic research lab seemingly loses his mind and is no longer contactable it's up to two others to fly in to both find out what happened and complete the project.
The facility is full of various creatures including a host of monkeys, it's remote, quiet and the two men quickly begin to question their sanity as well as each others.
Is there someone else there? What happened to the absent researcher?
The film has a The Thing (1982) vibe because of its location but that's pretty much where it starts and stops. The film is tense, it's creepy but the pacing is so weird I was shocked when it suddenly ended.
Some nice ideas and strong performances from our two performers, but the execution is more than a little lacking. Shame.
The Good:
Strong performances
Great setting
Solid concept
The Bad:
Too short
Poorly paced
Ending lost most of it's impact
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Snow, obscurity, isolation and animals............sounds like my dream job
