I mostly know Fessenden from his roles in Kelly Reichardt movies<\/a>… only previously seen his Habit<\/em>, the other<\/a> mid-90’s heroin\/vampire movie – know I didn’t like it much but I don’t recall anything about it and don’t trust my 1996 self’s opinions, since 1996 Self loved From Dusk Till Dawn<\/em> and Happy Gilmore<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I guess this is The Thing<\/a><\/em> meets The Happening<\/em> meets The Screwfly Solution<\/a><\/em>, an “eco-thriller” in which the environment fights back against an arctic oil team who already had their own inter-personal drama and now have to contend with people turning suicidal\/homicical after seeing snowy ghosts. Throw in an evil corporation covering up climate-change evidence, Ron Perlman and Connie Britton, and remarkably good plane-crash effects, and it’s a solid little apocalyptic movie.<\/p>\n

Connie and Ronnie:<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

Maxwell (Connie’s Friday Night Lights<\/em> costar) is first to die naked in the snow, Jamie Harrold (Kingdom Hospital<\/em>) just nosebleeds to death in his sleep, and a couple people get taken out when the “rescue” plane crashes into their base. Perlman and his rival, Phantasm II<\/a><\/em> star James Le Gros, end up stranded in the snow with approaching ghost-deers, while back home, Connie kills Joanne Shenandoah for smothering Kevin Corrigan (the not-bright, cleaner-spraying guy in Infinity Baby<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n
