This message hangs over the entire film... but Fessenden still manages to craft an intense and effective thriller.

Sure, global warming is scary, but chances are even Al Gore would be baffled by Larry Fessenden's moody, Arctic-set 'eco-thriller.'

It works eerily well.

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.

Rating: C+ --
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.

It's a pro-environmental apocalyptic shocker that works as a thinking man's ghost story pic.

Product Description:
In a cinematic world where most horror films are loud and flashy, it might be easy to overlook Larry Fessenden's quietly creepy THE LAST WINTER. But if they do, genre fans would be missing out on a truly unsettling film that centers on the real-life chills of the changing environment. Ron Perlman (HELLBOY) stars as Ed Pollack, an oil company employee who arrives in Alaska. He's eager to take some of the tundra's oil bounty, but the rising temperatures have an environmental scientist (James LeGros, ZODIAC) worried about the irreparable damage they could do to the Alaskan wilderness. Soon things start to go wrong at their camp, and one of their one dies mysteriously. Whether it's cabin fever, poisonous gas, or supernatural forces, something is threatening the camp and the people who live there.
Fessenden imbues the well-paced film with a frightening sense of menace, but he's not without help. Director of photography G. Magni Águstsson perfectly captures the isolation of the Alaskan landscape with his framing of the camp, and Jeff Grace's score adds to the sense of dread without ever descending into cliché. THE LAST WINTER also features a strong cast who ably communicate the growing confusion and terror. As in his work for directors such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Guillermo del Toro, Perlman is a highlight here as the gruff Pollack. As Pollack's former love, Abby, Connie Britton shows the talent that fans of her role on FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS have come to expect. Though this is his first film, Zach Gilford--also of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS--is excellent as the first of the team to feel the eerie effects of the environment.
