    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.

    Larry Fessenden... I like you. Fans of heady horror and/or The Thing would do well to stick their murder boners into this beast.

    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.

    The critics must have taken a payoff on this one. There's no explanation for nearly anything that happens in this film (and a great deal of it is confusing). The ending clarifies nothing, and only serves as a reminder that you've wasted over 90 minutes of valuable lifetime viewing this horrible piece of rubbish.

    I was with this until the last ten minutes, then it all came apart. It was like ok, ok, ok, ok, WTF!?, movie over. Too bad.

    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.

    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

    Like his "Wendigo," the film has a lot of mumbo jumbo about ancient spirits revived and angered by human disrespect--the old Indian-graveyard paradigm, as clunky as ever. But the context is overpoweringly eerie.

    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.

    An imperfect but compelling thriller.
