May 29, 2011Supernatural horror with an in-your-face environmental message at its heart. It's all about a crew of oil workers camped in the snowy Alaskan landscape who start to experience odd occurances linked to an oil well. Really quite disappointed with this overall, it didn't turn out to... read more

March 10, 2010Great performances, cold eerie atmosphere, and chilling story. This movie is pretty creepy, and although slowly paced, it's still spooky.

April 14, 2009Somewhat effective thriller, somewhat slow drama and somewhat comparable to 'The Happening'.
Not bad but not developed enough to be really good.
Bonus points however for Jeff Grace who turns out a great score. -
April 14, 2009An odd film. Hints of an interesting premise but it never completely congeals. Decent performances across the board.

September 4, 2008Like a modernized remake of "The Thing" that falls between mediocre and just bearable.
If you need a "small team lost in the snow surrounded by supernatural/alien creatures" movie, this has that. The creatures aren't impressive, but some of the acting hits stride at moments. -
July 20, 2008I was not expecting this to be anywhere NEAR good. Larry Fessenden directed it and I fucking loathed that self-indulgent piece of shit Wendigo. It looked like ass and was written about as well as you'd expect from someone who sniffs paint. Honestly, my friends and I just picked i... read more

April 27, 2008Well acted suspense thriller with obvious parallels to 'The Thing'. Its low budget effects hamper the ending.

The problem is that the ghostly culprit, some sort of nature spirit, isn't nearly as terrifying as the arguments that Pollack makes, or the fact that the ice in such places really is weakening. Full Review

Die-hard greenies may find this as unsettling as it's meant to be. For everyone else, it's closer to an atmospheric act of recycling. Full Review

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
The film isn't very interesting because it isn't well made. Full Review

It's the imaginative background, and Fessenden's talent at insinuating it into the action, that counts -- and unnerves -- in this most chilling of global-warming movies. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Even if this is no red-blooded shocker, its unsettling mood lingers long past the final fade-out, hinting at all sorts of retribution just lying in wait for polluters. Full Review

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Larry Fessenden has fashioned a different kind of horror movie here, one that moves at glacial speed, offers few scares and provides the viewer virtually no satisfaction. Full Review

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
[It] accomplishes with a modest budget and a talented cast what bigger, slicker, gorier contemporary horror movies rarely do. It taps into a collective dread compounded by the guilt of our complicity. Full Review

Gruesome things happen in The Last Winter, but there's no gratuitous gore or torture, and the film's real power comes from its building sense that something really, really bad is about to happen. Full Review
