Depredador Ártico

The claustrophobic setting of the story is the best thing this movie has going for it. It's a typical unthinking killing machine monster flick, and seizes material from similarly themed older movies, but it's good enough to kick back with some microwave popcorn and watch.

It's in the Arctic or Antarctic somewhere and a group of scientific investigators at an outpost out there find themselves at the mercy of a weird being that looks like Jack Frost's evil twin. It feeds on energy, so it likes fire and labs and people and stuff. Characters get knocked off in the order painted on their foreheads, while the remaining ones try to figure out a way to get rid of the thing in time. Their only clue on how to do this: a century-old diary.

The acting and direction for a low budget movie are pretty decent, and the movie has its moments. Overall not bad, considering it was free.
