Short description
At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students discover the real horror of global warming is not the melting ice, but what's frozen within it. A prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a Woolly Mammoth upon the unsuspecting students who are forced to quarantine and make necessary sacrifices, or risk infecting the rest of the world.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in western Canada in areas adjacent to the territories of indigenous peoples, so many Native Americans were involved in its production, and the chief of one tribe even blessed the filming.
- The working title of the film was "Bed Bugs".
- Doctor Kruypen referred to the parasites as vertebrates, which the students read in his notes. Then those same students called them fleas, while fleas are invertebrates.
- A 4,000-liter propane tank was used for the special effects during the explosion of the research station.
- The film is based on fears that global warming will revive ancient, deadly microorganisms.
