      Bill Cosford Miami Herald The Last Winter is sentimental and slow, but it's rich with character and full of life. Johnston got good performances from a large cast of children, too -- no small achievement and crucial here. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member An ecological horror movie. Will probably disappoint those looking for typical monsters, but worth a look for the open minded. Like Larry Fessenden's previous movie, Wendigo, this is a thoughtful art film in a horror package. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Best aussie movie of the year! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member psychological horror, with a enviromrntal message. hellboy star, ron pearlman stars as a oil digger, sent to the alaskan wildernessto progress with dreilling for his company. he gets there, and has to deal with a enviromentalist, to continue digging, but there apears to be envviromental changes going on, which complicates things. but these events could be caused by something else, as workers start acting up, is there somethng communicating with peoples emotions. interesting film,reminds me of films like, the thing(snowy setting, human emotion) and the shining(supernatural forces at work its got a real creepy feel and for a long time, you dont what type of film this is. a nice little, killing off one by one, but done differently, cold loooking film as well, so wrap up warm. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member theres something about this movie that just didn't work for me. Maybe it was that I just didn't get the isolation/paranoia vibe that I should of. Good premise but just not executed to my liking. I would of liked a pan up in the final scene to connect with the spreading devesation (it worked in the mouth of madness) but I guess thats what we get from a low budgeter. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an American and Icelandic co-production which is a horror movie about some people trying to establish a small oil refinery in the north of Alaska. When the earth fights back,, things get interesting. For the most part this is an effective cross between The Shining and The Unbelievable Truth, but towards the end it becomes a little misguided and confusing. Great concept for a film, well acted and only sometimes scary, this is worth checking out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
