HumanoidOfFlesh Review of The Last Winter

The Last Winter (2006)

Potentially great isolation flick ruined by ridiculous ending.

[6/10 · 19 February 2008]

In this supernatural-themed thriller a remote Alaskan outpost owned by a major oil company is haunted and its personnel are killed off either by the ghosts of ancient creatures—or by nature itself.Reminiscent to "The Thing" and "The Shining" the newest horror film by Larry Fessenden is mostly about global warming and its ghastly consequences.It seems that global warming somehow released the malignant spirits of ancient creatures that attack the oil company employees.In the vein of "The Shining" the personnel is slowly going insane one by one.Unfortunately the entire eerie premise is ruined by awful ending with silly CGI creatures make their appearance.The action is slow-moving,the gore is completely absent,but there are few spine-tingling moments.6 out of 10.
