Red in D @redindenver 5d More than thirty minutes in and not even a HINT of a scare in sight, As a matter of fact, as of now, it appears to be a story about a love triangle. I'm going to give up on spending time watching this movie, and go watch one of the many truly good horror movies. See more Mitch S @SwagoDiego2k May 28 I understand what the director was attempting to convey through that story but it was a bit silly. It was alright not the worst movie I have ever watched but most of the acting was pretty subpar and hard to get to a point where I cared about them. I didn't really care for anybody and when they died It meant nothing to me. Another issue is I had no idea what the end goal or what the characters were really doing. The real end goal was to drill but there was no equipment to drill, no forward progress other than arguing about the possibility of said equipment getting specialized tracks on them. And the monsters I thought was pretty stupid. The CGI slop that was marketed as "very scary" was in fact not scary at all. It did have redeeming qualities in the mystery of it all and some of the scenes were ok. Pollock was a funny character to me. I wouldn't say I recommend but that's up to you dear reader in the end.

See more Zack K @RT50761588 Nov 30 The people giving this movie bad reviews have 100% not seen this movie a single minute of their lives. I did enjoy it. Heads up, it is a drama not a horror movie. See more Wayne K @RT88290232 Sep 10 Despite the noughties being a low point for cinematic horror, films like The Last Winter show that there were still reasons to be cautiously optimistic back then. Dodgy CGI notwithstanding, it’s a solid film, making great use of its location and characters to craft an atmosphere of suspicion and suspense. Ron Perlman gives one of his least discussed but most impressive performance as a harsh taskmaster that’s beholden to company orders, but there’s flashes of humanity that comes out now and then, which makes his character all the more believable. I love horrors films with an isolationist setting because it makes things so much more tense, and removes any easy way out for its players. The snow-blasted landscape is like an oppressive force in itself, and while the wonky computer effects are hard to overlook, the movie’s ability to make us fear what we see, and especially what we can’t see, it's what makes it so effective, and it’s the main reason I would recommend it to anyone looking for a horror flick that’s more than slamming doors, flickering lights and mind-numbing jump scares.
