At a site 100 miles from the nearest native reservation, during a Canadian winter, a group of archaeologists have made a startling discovery: The tip of a mysterious, ancient structure, which bears some archaic engravings. The crew, led by Jensen, attempt to decipher it but some mysteries are better left buried.
As they delve further into the structure’s origins, things at their camp turn strange. Communications fail, local workers suddenly disappear and the men are stricken with a terrible illness. It’s not long before they begin to feel the effects of solitude and then things get really bad…

Lovecraft in the snow
Lovecraftian themes abound in this slow gruesome thriller: the discovery of a buried city pre-dating the ice age, the unleashing of an Old God, men driven insane by an unseen malignant force. The pace is very slow to start but after the skinned cat scene things pick up the pace. Not a gore fest but some quite shocking DIY surgery with knives and axes, and one mass murder. What I like most is the fact that it is left to the viewer to decide what was real or not - was there really an ancient deity unleashed, or was it all delusion and madness brought about by a virus? Definitely worth a look, and probably a repeat viewing.
