The Last Winter (ej svensk text) (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)

At the remote Alaskan base of an oil company, hard-headed base leader Ed Pollack (Ron Perlman, Hellboy) faces off with eco-scientist James Hoffman (James Le Gros, Living In Oblivion), who has raised concerns about the environmental impact of the drilling in the area due to the abnormally warm temperatures in the region. When one of Pollack’s crew is found dead on the ice, and members of his team start experiencing hallucinations, Hoffman turns to a scientific explanation despite signs pointing towards something more supernatural at play. Larry Fessenden followed up the winter folk horror of Wendigo with a similarly chilly ghost story set near the Arctic Circle. Shot on location in both Alaska and Iceland, marking Fessenden’s first film to be shot outside of the United States and New York, THE LAST WINTER is a remarkably cold and claustrophobic piece of folk horror that shares a few notable similarities with John Carpenter’s The Thing and is, to this date, Fessenden’s final movie shot on film and the only one to be shot entirely on 35mm. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Larry Fessenden’s wildly ambitious eco-horror thriller in a brand new director-approved 4K restoration from its 35mm negative.
