aka Frozen
Director: Mark A. Lewis
Writer: Mark A. Lewis
Cast: Martha MacIsaac, Val Kilmer, Aaron Ashmore, Kyle Schmid
At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students discover the real horror of global warming is not the melting ice, but what's frozen within it. A prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a Woolly Mammoth upon the unsuspecting students who are forced to quarantine and make necessary sacrifices, or risk infecting the rest of the world.
A small ecological team in the Arctic find the remains of a mammoth only its frozen body contains an uncontrollable bug/virus. Amiable try at pulling off an eco-horror, sadly it failed to sustain my attention due to flat pace, poor acting (damn how big is Val Kilmer looking these days) also the fx/cgi work though not bad or overused is very sci-fi channel movie like. Anyone seeking this type of film but done better I'd recommend last years Larry Fessenden film 'The Last Winter' and avoid this one.
