Reviews

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
kijowh I found it interesting and was excited for some kind of explenation for everything that was going on, but the ending fell short...
c_hookham In remote northern Canada a team of archaeologists uncover a mysterious structure so old it threatens to rewrite human history and in turn unleash am ancient horror on themselves. This lo-fi Canadian indie is like something straight from a HP Lovecraft novel - scientists uncover hidden past- hidden past screws with scientists and it's not a bad thing. The setting is beautifully rendered as a remote and alien landscape and despite its low budget effects do a decent job in creating a very tense and hallucinatory atmosphere. There are flaws - some of the dialogue is very clunky as are some of the performances and the ending will irritate many but if you're a fan of lovecraftian horror who isn't expecting cgi monsters or big Hollywood production values then you'll enjoy this trip into the mountains.
hoytyhoyty Have to bucket this piece of try-hard garbage. Have to. Because it wasted an hour and 40 minutes of my time, and left me and my S.O. basically bored and depressed that we could have done something more fun with the evening.AFTER THE FILM STARTED OFF SO WELL! At around the half-hour mark, whoever the good writer was just departed, and left a bunch of fumbling, drug-soaked idiots to finish off. Except they never finish, this thing drags itself along like an animated severed limb for the remaining hour.It's so bad. It's so, so bad. And it's just amazingly so, because IT STARTED OFF SO WELL! No direction. No purpose. SHOCKING script errors where important elements get forgotten 2 seconds later. Attempts to imitate great stories like The Thing ('Who Goes There' by JW Campbell) - except it can't even do a decent homage because it's such a confused, slow moving, boring MESS! Worst kind of film. The kind that deserves punishment. Somebody should be made to pay for this. Because it STARTED OFF SO WELL, sucked us in, then turned on us. It soaked us in bile. It vomited over us. It urinated in our faces.Do not, EVER, watch this film. You will kick your TV screen in.YES, it REALLY IS that bad.- -- ---
octville A non-existent dark force that plays on the mind till insanity, this movie isn't help by slow plot development and the lack of dramatic tension. The self-mutilation or killings are at best random but not enough consideration is given to increase the fear of the audience. Finally, the viewers are left unsatisfied by a movie that is lacking in finesse or any climatic development at the end. It is a waste of time watching this project.It is a pity because the title nuanced something sinister, suspense thrilling and haunting when pitted against a small group of workers and researchers in the middle of nowhere.Finally, is it just me that Shaun Twerdun has some resemblance to Noah Wyle from the Falling Skies fame? Shaun's role was supposedly leadership but he did nothing throughout the show that makes him non-impressionable.
