Review of The Thaw

The Thaw (2009)
7/10
Bleak. Terrifying. Plausible.

I think I may have figured out the low rating for this movie. Nobody wants to believe this could actually happen. What a disgusting, horrible way to go. What a terrible way for the world to end.

The plot is simple but effective. Research team discovers a woolly mammoth buried in a melting ice patch. Said mammoth is unearthed and the team discovers that the mammoth is home to a virulent strain of parasite that lays eggs, hatches, then consumes its host.

This movie is completely terrifying mostly because it is so plausible. I believe global warming is a fact and it's just a matter of time before something rears its ugly head to destroy all of mankind. Makes me want to bury my head in the sand....oops! Just got bit. Bye World!
