I thought I had missed a gem. I was wrong. This movie prompted me to write my first review. Yeah, my first but not fake. Why shill on a movie 12 years old?? What a sad waste of talent. A good cast that acted well above this movie. I was neither horrified, mystified, or thrilled. The "threat" in this movie was inadequately developed and almost non exsistent. Unending character development and "deeply meaningful" conversation pegged this movie closer to a drama than anything else. Thought it might be a slow burn leading to some awesome ending, not. I gave it maximum patience for over an hour, than started fast forwarding hoping for a climax that never came. I have given more time to this review than the movie is worth. 3/10 for a good cast trying to save this movie. Too bad the writer, director, editor, producer, and studio wouldnt let them.

It seems to me that Ron Perlman either chooses dreadful movies to appear in OR puts a jinx on films in which he appears. The one exception that comes to mind is "Alien Resurrection" in which he was reasonably cast, as a very tall macho oddball. This motion picture, "The Last Winter" has a feeling of doom about it right from the start. ALL the characters are wooden. I have rated this 1 out of 10, because 0 is not available. AVOID IT !

This starts almost like an art film, but eventually it gives in to mass market urges that become more and more distracting, limiting and inappropriate. It has way too many quiet, somber tone-setting scenes that are obviously there to eat up time and delay narrative obligations, but after an hour they just kill the momentum. Finally, a completely risible, limp ending arrives, that will make you understand all the one-star ratings here. Funny thing about movies that seem to be withholding their point, they always end up not having one, and they go nowhere. As it ended, I thought; Hmmm. snow... melancholoy... hopelessness... is this a Danish production? And sure enough the end-credits are filled with dozens of Danish/Icelandic names.I was open to this films light touch and hoped it would be good. I was also open to a cast of second tier actors (James LeGros, Ron Perlman). But Perlman is over the top, and just becomes a shouting one-dimensional villain. That's not much to engage you. And when will film-makers finally learn; if you don't have an ending, you don't have a film... this ending is a travesty. The movie is derivative of just about every horror movie made in the past 30 years. The next time a ghost disappears over an edit, or when a light is turned on, I'm just going to pitch the DVD out the window.

It is set up in Northern Alaska with a crew that is supposed to be stalked by a unseen evil. After paying $10.00 for this movie and then setting and watching it for a 101 minutes, I ended up wasting money and time. This movie was awful I kept waiting and waiting for a scare or anything but it didn't deliver.When it finally tried to deliver it was if they were haunted by ghost moose???? You have to be kidding me. The special effects were even awful, they could have did a better job by far.Please do not waste your time or money on this movie.
