If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I found it interesting and was excited for some kind of explenation for everything that was going on, but the ending fell short...
First off, I gave it a go and thought, I hope this isn't another boring Canadian movie. Wrong! It is. Acting is as if no one was even into their character. Like they were in acting class doing a practice scene. Couldn't even finish the movie after about 30 minutes of it i had to leave. The story could have had some interest but didn't. Snoring bore. I walked out and got something to eat and watched a couple kids fight over a cup of popcorn. Each one would grab a hand full and shove it in their mouths and by the time the next one shoved the popcorn in his mouth the other grabbed the bucket and shoved it in his mouth. That went on for about 3 minutes until they ran out. They ran to their mom and she pushed them away and told them to go play. That was worth leaving the movie and seeing.
In remote northern Canada a team of archaeologists uncover a mysterious structure so old it threatens to rewrite human history and in turn unleash am ancient horror on themselves. This lo-fi Canadian indie is like something straight from a HP Lovecraft novel - scientists uncover hidden past- hidden past screws with scientists and it's not a bad thing. The setting is beautifully rendered as a remote and alien landscape and despite its low budget effects do a decent job in creating a very tense and hallucinatory atmosphere. There are flaws - some of the dialogue is very clunky as are some of the performances and the ending will irritate many but if you're a fan of lovecraftian horror who isn't expecting cgi monsters or big Hollywood production values then you'll enjoy this trip into the mountains.
Seriously, how much did this movie cost?***SPOILERS*** First of all, there is a group of man people, that found something, then you think well, this is gonna be interesting, maybe they gonna dig it up, but NO.All of the man are going one by one become crazy. Somebody cut his hand of... looks fake. And somebodies arm is cutting off. Then there is the guy who's hand is cut off, he says nothing anymore and eats nothing and then out of nowhere he shot his self through his head, k that sound crazy right? but then there is a guy who is gonna do a autopsy on him.And then comes the funniest part you can see him breading, You can see him breathing through his stomach. MAAA GOD this movie is bad.And there is a weird voice that meant to be scary.
