The Last Winter
Monday, September 17, 2007 at 8:30pm

Is this the first global-warming horror film? Following in the tradition of John Carpenter’s remake of The Thing, and perhaps harkening back to Peter Weir’s The Last Wave in its final revelations, this claustrophobic, turn-of-the-screw, broodingly atmospheric film from New York indie director Larry Fessenden is a chiller in more than one sense.

If you thought An Inconvenient Truth was scary...



...Try it on ice.

"Atmospheric chiller" is an understatement in Larry Fessenden's The Last Winter.

Tickets are $7 for Film Society members and students; $11 for the general public.

The Last Winter
Larry Fessenden, US/Iceland, 2006; 107m
In an isolated Alaskan base near the Arctic Circle, a team of oil prospectors begrudgingly tolerates the presence of two scientists sent by the team’s corporate bosses to assess the environmental impact of the exploratory drilling project. As an eco scientist (James LeGros) and roughneck oil boss (Ron Perlman) butt heads, the team slowly begins to unravel as one by one its members realize that…there’s something out there. With its linking of the supernatural to nature and landscape, The Last Winter builds upon Fessenden’s 2001 horror film, Wendigo, and expands the canvas for the director’s distinctive brand of unnerving, mood-driven horror.
