Martin P @endymetal May 12 better than expected. gory at times See more Leland K @RT08614893 Nov 17 It's hard to relate to any character when everyone keeps making the dumbest decisions possible. See more Gabriel S @Sanarel Nov 5 With shy careers — at least considering spotlight cinema — Mark A. Lewis and Michael Lewis bring to us The Thaw, a sci-fi body horror film with critique about global warming. At the time, I think the theme was spot on, maybe too much to be truth, but, regardless, the overall premise is alright to begin with. In this film, we follow a group of teenagers, of course, as they are about to meet senior scientists in a scientific exploration field in the Artics. When they get there, everyone is missing, the place feels sort of abandomned, and, to make matters worse, a hidden horror lurks in the melting ice. Now, if you ignore pet peeves like why everyone seems so dismissive that things are clearly odd, and, instead of asking for help, they just shrug it off, you will find a solid horror experience here. The Thaw is not new on any kind (is anything, at this point, really new?), but the pacing is alright and the situation just gets worse and worse fast to the point where you just want to know what will happen. Well, you sort of know because you get a hint in the opening scene of the film, so, in truth form, you are really wishful to understand _how_ things will work out. One thing I can't really stand for is how things escalated to this level. The final revelation, although expected, just puts a huge _why_ into the lens of plotline, why escalate to this level? But OK, I guess — we need to remember that, in the end, this movie is pretty much just screaming _global warming is real, folks! Don't ignore it!_ Yeah, yeah, we know… But in 2009, did they, though? The Thaw is alright, a nice casual watch for horror fans. And, considering its 13 nominations, you might even see it appear on lists about sci-fi movies to watch.

Neste filme ele interpreta Dr. David um arqueologista que descobre no degelo um mamute intacto. Porém junto com ele uma praga que sobreviveu a todos estes séculos e agora pode exterminar a raça humana. Sua equipe já continua. Seu relacionamento com sua filha, não sendo das melhores, a convida para ir até a descoberta, antes dele descobrir a praga. Mas quando tenta impedir dela vir até o acampamento, ja era tarde, ela e outros universitários já haviam partido. Quando Evelyn (MAclsaac) Chega ao acampamento não encontra ninguém, a não ser um urso polar morto que estava infectado com a praga. E de cara infecta Bart (LEacock) o piloto do helicóptero. E assim a praga vai infectando o grupo que entra em desespero colocando em quarentena, Nesse momento aparece a dra. Jane (Marie) que chega do local da descoberta, mas logo morre, dizendo que ninguém poderia sair de la. Com vários momentos de suspense que lembra os filme deste estilo com a praga fugindo pelo duto de ar, atacando o pessoal e também sacrificando. Quem aparece ao final é Dr. David que com a idéia de que a raça humana para se corrigir, deveria passar por um extermínio. E sua filha tem que impedi-lo. Vale apena assistir? Um enredo e estória que conhecemos, de outros filmes. Um filme razoável. Nota: 5 See more David W @Sternhammer Oct 5 Politics aside, not bad, not great. Made me nostalgic for film makers like John Carpenter who really knew how to make an Arctic horror movie though. See more Hayleigh P. @haytay.shows22 07/21/2025 Actually wasn’t terrible. Makes me think though… The worlds trying to bring back the wooly mammoth AND the dire wolf.. hm, maybe it’s a sign that maybe we SHOULDNT be doing that..? But the guy had them in his d and he was the one trying to control everyone..? 🤦🏻‍♀️ The ending was messed up though. The dad literally tried to kill her AND infect the entire world. Wtf. And the guy who was with her through it all had to die? Why couldn’t they get out together?? They both worked so hard and had eachother.. And why did the doggy at the end have to eat an infected bird? How did it spread though..? 😭. See more Read all reviews
