action

An oil company wants to develop new oil fields in Alaska , which is why they are sending several employees there. However, the weather is unusually warm, which is why no ice roads can be built. As a result, the required headframes cannot be delivered, which delays the project. In 1986 a test drilling took place in a nearby nature reserve , the results of which, however, are not published. A white box was erected at this point. Maxwell passes this box one day. He doesn't come back to camp until hours later, completely disturbed. He later claims that he saw a being who wanted to drive them all from this place. Shortly thereafter, Maxwell goes berserk and walks naked in the snow with a video camera, whereupon he freezes to death. The next day the others find his corpse and watch his video, in which he constantly asks the camera whether the viewer would also see the creature. However, no being can be seen on the video. A little later, for inexplicable reasons, Motor begins to disassemble everything. Hoffmann therefore assumes that the permafrost is melting due to the weather and that a large amount of hydrogen sulfide has seeped out of the ground. This drives people crazy. The head of the facility, Pollack, rejects this claim. The next morning, Hoffman finds Jenkins covered in blood and dead in his bed, whereupon Pollack decides that the crew should be examined. However, the plane that is supposed to pick up the crew crashes on approach, killing three people, injuring the engine and destroying much. Hoffman and Pollack then set off with a snowmobile to a nearby Inuit village . On the way there the snowmobile breaks and they have to spend a night in nature. Meanwhile, Dawn Motor suffocates with a pillow, which is observed by Abby. She then begins to wrestle with Dawn, where Dawn falls fatally. During the night Hoffman and Pollack are haunted and killed by the creature. Some time later, Abby wakes up in an abandoned infirmary, where all she finds is a doctor who has hanged himself. She goes out into the street and finds a world in chaos.

criticism

The lexicon of international films expressed itself quite positively and spoke of an "atmospherically very dense horror film" that was "restrained [...]". The production is reminiscent of The Last Flood .
