Review of The Thaw (2009) by Julian T — 09 Dec 2011
While certainly not the most original movie ever made (as it borrows from a number of sources such as 'Cabin Fever', 'The Thing', even 'Alien'), this film manages to come out pretty well.
The acting is decently performed by a pretty unknown cast (save Kilmer, who has never been one of my favorites) and it is filmed very effectively, with dark and edgy camera shots. The plot line isn't that out there, and actually fairly realistic when you think about it.
Its definitely one of those horror movies where you have a hard time believing the characters actually want to survive, as they are constantly doing things that no one in this situation would do. Tries to give you a 'twist ending' which I think everyone can see coming 2 miles away. But mostly, this is a pretty well done low budget movie that offers alot in the way of edgy-ness and great horror cinematography.
