Just not all that scary to me

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2010)

I did find this movie entertaining but it never created the depth of fear that's been ascribed to it. Lots of slow-moving, predictable segments and downright stodgy sequences. It had the feel of an unpolished television movie in many ways.
The concept could have been pulled off with a lot more suspense and mystery, simply with better cinematic techniques.
It seems like a movie people would enjoy best while drunk, clapping at certain scenes they remembered from previous watchings. One of those films that get an inexplicable reputation from word of mouth, but were never all that great.
For a feeling of isolated terror near the poles, I think "The Last Winter" and especially "30 Days of Night" were much better.
