Arctic Predator

Arctic Predator belongs in the not good, but also not bad category. Watching this film I couldn't help thinking of a mix of Alien, Predator and The Thing, except not as good as either of those movies. As far as SyFy movies go, it's not among the best or worst, but there's nothing exceptional about Arctic Predator at the end of the day. The photography is pretty good, the direction is efficient and the acting is decent particularly from Dean Cain. The effects aren't so good, the CGI digger looks absolutely horrible and the monster of the title is a cheap version of Jack Frost's evil twin. The story has moments of suspense, but overall it is dull and predictable, I mention was the prolonged battle with the tractor necessary. The script has a very stilted nature to it, and the characters I just didn't care for. Overall, left me cold but it wasn't a complete and utter waste of time like I was expecting it to be. 4/10 Bethany Cox
