  • Starring: Connie Britton, James LeGros, Ron Perlman
  • Summary: In one of the most pristine landscapes in the world, a team working to exploit Alaska's oil resources is tormented by an unseen evil. After one crew member is found dead, disorientation slowly claims the sanity of the other members of the team as each of them succumbs to an unknown fear. This creeping dread bursts open when a malevolent wind brings down a plane that approaches the station. Explosions and carnage wreak havoc on the team, and all functions fail in the camp, forcing two of the members out into the cold on a desperate bid for survival. As these two journey to find help, they find themselves utterly alone in a world that is unraveling--either they are being stalked by an invisible herd of menacing phantoms, or they are going mad.

    The Last Winter won’t win many fans among those who place the saving of union jobs above the repairing of the ozone layer. But this is a horror movie with many inconvenient truths to tell about the ways in which we are willingly destroying our planet.

    Gruesome and terrifying things happen in The Last Winter, but there's no gratuitous gore or torture, and the film's real power comes from its building sense that something really, really bad is ABOUT to happen.

    The long buildup is too deliberate to please the mainstream horror crowd, and the finale might alienate more niche audiences, but in between there's a good bit to savor.

    Among cautionary tales of gloom-and-doom, it may out-gore Gore, but it doesn't entertain.

    This film is is more or less how I imagine the end. Ghostly apparitions and chaos unfolding as a result of human treachery and neglect. It is no hollywood shocker. Just a straight story of men and women confronting the inevitable.… Expand

    Creepy. Haunting. Claustrophobic. Well-acted, even if Ron Perlman's character is written as a one-note villain. Beautifully shot, permeated with dread. James LeGros does fine work. Fessenden and his cinematographer turn the frozen nothingness into a living, breathing, palpable and inexorable adversary.… Expand

    Great cinematography. Incredible atmosphere. Very eerie and suspenseful. Well acted. I wish it wasn't quite so mysterious, but it's a finely crafted film.… Expand

    The most boring piece of crap masquerading as a thriller I have endured since M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. By the time anything actually HAPPENS ( a good 20 minutes in), I no longer gave a damn what happened to any of these stupid people. I give it 1 star for the fact that it was in my On Demand package and not something I ponied up eight bucks to see. If the ending redeems it, my apologies. I gave up with half an hour left to go.… Expand
