Watching this film really made me want to return to the original Jon Carpenter film 'The Thing'. That film remains the definitive "isolated Arctic scientist station" movie, and 'The Last Winter' is dire in comparison.
There is a worthy environmental shading to the story (the melting of the permafrost) but the random way in which the characters go crazy is just laughable.
It's a low budget affair and anything resembling a monstrous presence doesn't show up until the end.
I watched this out of a cultish interest in the director, Larry Fessenden, but...oh dear, another lockdown mistake!
