3/5 Not Bad!!!
  by Pumpkin Man
This movie was a little bit better than I expected. It kind of reminded me of 'Cabin Fever' except it was parasites, instead of tainted water. Dr. Kruipen is leading an expedition in the arctic and comes across an ancient parasite that get inside people, leave eggs, and multiply. Dr. Kruipen's daughter, Evelyn tries to stop them before it is too late. I'd recommend THE THAW!!!

3/5 Better than most
  by MCola (NY,USA)
Based on past GHOSTHOUSE releases...I didn't expect much. But the premise was such, I was willing to take a chance. A pretty solid Ecological thriller with shades of THE THING. Kilmer doesn't get as much screen time as You'd be led to believe. Good effects.Worth watching.

4/5 Kyle Schmid is versatile
  by Shiloh Kremer
Although this movie is slow in certain parts, it still has a good amount of suspense. Val Kilmer plays his role very well. Kyle Scmid is the most noticeable character who shows a variety of emotions from compassion to apathy. The supporting cast is also impressive. One star has been removed due to some slow scenes.

This is a four star movie.

3/5 Digging in the sandbox of time
  by TastyBabySyndrome ("Daddy Dagon's Daycare" - Proud Sponsor of the Little Tendril Baseball Team, USA)
Digging up things in the artic sometimes yields unexpected results. The mammoths we find, for example, show us exactly what the past might have looked like, just as the bodies of people have done for us in the past. Still, there have to be things that would be better off lef to the snowdrifts, and what if one of hose were dug up and found? Could we close Pandora's box before it closed the worldwide chapter on this thing we call humanity? This seems to be the paradox that we might one day be faced with as we take pick and shovel to the snow, not really thinking about something nightmarish that could have been left behind.

As far as movies go, this is nothing new. It involves an outbreak in an isolated community, people trying to cope with the impact on themselves and on the world around hem, and just what they are willing to give up in order to stay alive. The problem the movie has is the fact that some of it is unbelievable and that it has been done over and over: the part that is hard to comprehend is the rate at which the "thing" spreads from person to person, and the overdone part is something that is bothersome because it shows just how much movies rely on plot recycling. Add to this some bad acting, some deaths that are horrible but that should have numbered in the "everyone" category (really, if you look at the station the people were in, you can see how easily it would be for something like this to get out and get everyone), and how the entire area that the dig as in would be considered a death zone. This sort of gets left on the backburner and leaves major holes in the story, but the movie is a B-movie in disguise and is hard to blame for these mistakes.

If you want to see some snow and some out breaking little legs that follow, then this could be something you might like. I personally enjoyed it but was surprised by the B-movie nature of it considering how it was billed, and this led to a little disappointment on my part. I know that expectation plays a role in this as well, but I'm not sure if hat is my fault or if it is the fault of the way the movie was presented to its audience. So, if expect nothing in the beginning and watch the movie, you might find it entertaining. I did on the second go in the middle of the night, but that was after I shrugged off the first screening and knew what I was getting into. I can't say I recommend it with good conscience to anyone but those who enjoy B-movie terrors, so know what you are getting into before watching the film.


2/5 Should have been more and bigger but with get almost nothing..
  by Andre Villemaire (Canada)
When you hear the words Global Warming so many times at the beginning...i
thing that a special group paid for this film. The film is pretty good
for what it is,,, but seems to be missing important elements...like more
effects...more gore...bigger creatures...etc...etc.
Some of the special effects shots where the creatures are shown...you have
to look twice...as they are soo small...
They also put the weight of the ending on the back of a young rooky film
star that i dont even know...that too took away a bit of the film.

So its a good film for what it is...but something is missing and the film
ends up paying for it..... I like Val Kilmer...but in here...its only for
a paycheck...and he looks overfeed.
