Editorial Reviews

When a renowned environmental advocate, Dr. David Kruipen (Val Kilmer), discovers the carcass of a woolly mammoth in a polar ice cap, he leads a team of four bright ecology students in a research mission at a remote Arctic station. The group uncovers information beyond their wildest dreams…and nightmares when a prehistoric parasite revives and searches for a new warm-blooded host. Now infected, the unsuspecting students are forced to choose between a quarantine that will result in their death or a global epidemic.

Very Creepy Creepy-Crawlies -Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

December 8, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Not bad and quite entertaining. Back in the 50's and 60's nukes were the culprits in many creature features today the alarmist's bell is ringing for climate change which is responsible for everything from acne to parasitic insects that infect and destroy. This is one of those. Val Kilmer, who is always good, plays a ecologist turned eco-terrorist and bugs are the vermin that are coming to destroy all life. If you are freaked-out by the creepy, crawlies then you will have a freaking good time. Very well done scenes of insect creepiness as they get under your skin and ultimately poke out of your eyes, nose and mouth after you are dead - very cool. The scene in which a guy gets his arm chopped off to avoid infection is particularly disturbing - and I mean that in a good way. Good movie.

The Thaw has a couple things going for it: the interesting setting and the special effects. However, the writing is awful. The characters all behave like idiots. Why not tell the daughter there's something dangerous going on if you don't want her showing up? When hell breaks loose, why not call for help? At one point, a character is calling for help (too late) and says he doesn't know where they are, even though they're with a pilot that just flew them there the day before. The plot is nonsense.

If you don't believe in global warming then don't cry to me when bugs eat your face... Or something

October 5, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

If you can get past the incredibly hamfisted message about global warming and saving the planet, there is an almost competent paint-by-numbers creature feature in here. Still, getting past the message is no small feat.

The film, from minute one all the way to the credit crawl at the end, hits you over the head relentlessly with its simplistic (bordering on infantile) message about how man is destroying the planet via global warming. We are talking Birdemic levels of hamfistedness here.

Messaging aside, the film has the light beer drenched stench of Canada all over it, from the cheap sets and effects, to the terrible acting. Of note in particular is the female protagonist who is absolutely terrible (and who apparently refused to do a nude scene on the day they were scheduled to film it, so they left in an awkward scene where she strips down but the camera stays above her shoulders the whole time - how titillating).

A very bloated Val Kilmer makes an appearance, so that is a thing. They must have only had him for a day, because he never appears in the same scene and in the same room as anybody else. Even still, he couldn't manage to stay sober for that single afternoon, so he burps out all of his lines in a sort of groggy stupor. Sadly, he is the best part of the movie.

Bottom line, the messaging is incredibly annoying, and the rest of the movie is just kind of bad.

September 19, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

As far as horror movies go this is the closest thing to a possible end to humankind on this planet as I have seen to date. Val KIlmer sure is taking some lower roles, considering his previous heights and public acclaim. Sad decline, but he is believable as usual in this role and the story-line is edgy and full of the foibles that people display under stress. An honest portrayal of the hypothesis presented here.

Watchable....but nothing special.

August 20, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Love me some Val and Kyle, really...I do. It;s the only reason to finish this film. It had potential to be really scary, it just wasn't. I do not know why. Maybe I just never really cared about any of the characters enough to worry about them dying....or not. This movie spends a lot , I mean a lot, of time on nothing, then rushes thru the good stuff. this might be a good starter film if you want to introduce your kids to horror...sloooowwwwllly. Sorry boys, I would love to give you this one cuz you are both so awesome but, it really dragged.

poorly done propaganda. waste of time.

It's garbage. More global warming propaganda. Impossible to enjoy any film that is laden with political rhetoric. Don't waste your time.

I have to say that I liked it overall

February 16, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I have to say that I liked it overall. Some parts were frustratingly stupid... Like when someone keeps threatening you with gun... they get knocked out... why would you allow them to keep the gun when you finally have a chance to take it away from them? There are parts like that that are just dumb but I enjoyed the overall plot.

Where to begin....

October 23, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I am giving this three stars because Val Kilmer is in it, and I'm a fan, he accounts for two of the three stars. The rest of this movie was pretty painful to watch. Story had potential, but fell apart, killer bugs brought on by climate change, has potential, but yeah, aside from Mr. Kilmer (his time on screen was brief) the acting was classic b horror movie at it's worst.
