5.7 / 10 · TMDB

At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students discover the real horror of global warming is not the melting ice, but what's frozen within it. A prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a Woolly Mammoth upon the unsuspecting students who are forced to quarantine and make necessary sacrifices, or risk infecting the rest of the world.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film operates honestly within the horror genre: doesn't rush to frighten, lets the space breathe with anxiety. It's about the feeling of wrongness — slow, but relentless.

The film doesn't rush. That's its greatest strength and greatest risk: if you're not ready for slow horror — it will exhaust you. If you are — it won't let go.

For viewers who need sustained tension, not just a collection of scary moments.

Director: Mark A. Lewis

Viewing atmosphere: Late at night, alone or with someone who won't be ashamed to admit they're scared. Lights off.
