Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

kijowh I found it interesting and was excited for some kind of explenation for everything that was going on, but the ending fell short...

Lugodoc An indie must be low budget which necessarily means small cast, small sets, and few special effects, but it doesn't have to mean a meandering script and a weak ending. The cheapest part of any movie is the script so there is never an excuse for a bad one.Cinematography and acting are good but there is no satisfying resolution. It feels like half a story, a few creepy random events cobbled together on the run with no convincing conclusion in mind. How could the crew spend months making this and not notice that?

tomburke-62033 First off, I gave it a go and thought, I hope this isn't another boring Canadian movie. Wrong! It is. Acting is as if no one was even into their character. Like they were in acting class doing a practice scene. Couldn't even finish the movie after about 30 minutes of it i had to leave. The story could have had some interest but didn't. Snoring bore. I walked out and got something to eat and watched a couple kids fight over a cup of popcorn. Each one would grab a hand full and shove it in their mouths and by the time the next one shoved the popcorn in his mouth the other grabbed the bucket and shoved it in his mouth. That went on for about 3 minutes until they ran out. They ran to their mom and she pushed them away and told them to go play. That was worth leaving the movie and seeing.

Gmork76 For some reason I find this movie amusing and quite interesting. The buildup with the amazing north Canadian landscape backdrop is similar to that of The Thing. Both films has cold remote locations where strange things slowly begin to happen. In this film what "The being/it", is left unexplained and it's up to you to figure it out. It is not as gory as The Thing but it has some moments that made it hard for me to go to sleep the night I watched it. It has something to do with that Deer 'Thing' that's making several appearances and utters some really corny lines but nevertheless is an eerie apparition to see in the dark. The film is filled with goofs, loose ends and a lot of unanswered questions. Some actors stands out and some are not so good. But mostly they are doing a good job capturing the paranoia and cabin fever'ish mood. Stupid goofs like, "we have two weeks worth of supply and gas for the generator" Why not conserve it? no use generator even during daylight. It's "50 below outside" yet we see a clear thawing :-D What happened to the squid infested arm that was chopped off? No explanation or examinations of that arm, why? And Why was the cat sacrificed? By whom? And finally, what was the deer "thing"?! A god? An alien? A manifestation of cabin fever ? I watched this on Bluray, and it really gives the beautiful cold landscape it's own right. Can recommend this. If you watch it with low expectations you might find it has a moment or two.
