utterly pointless thriller about a group of oil explorer work in the arctic ( alaska ) and look for new drill site and when an unknown force be release and start affect the mind of each . ron perlman give a good performance a ed pollack and the unit leader and supervisor . he be try to obtain favorable environmental report that will allow the oil company to place several well and a pipe line . unfortunately and several incident put the schedule in jeopardy . this movie feel more like the happening and except with a global warming backdrop . instead of tree make people kill themselves and here it be the ghost of animal past pretty preposterous . it be clear the movie have the intention of scar people into believe we must do something about global warming and maybe to have the cap and tax bill pass in congress . while the situation be genuinely creepy and the movie be spoil by the obnoxiousness of the underlying political message . the situation be render risible by by the whole artificiality and the shoehorning of the message into the story . if only the director have refrain himself from let u know what he really felt about global warning and the movie could have have a chance and although it would not have add anything new to the genre of isolation thriller . i do not recommend this movie for the story . maybe for the acting and the creepiness of the situation and but there be little to absorb and like gnaw at a t bone with almost no meat .
