Storyline

A group of grad students have booked passage on the crabbing boat Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Belugas in the Bering Sea. When the ship's crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things get downright deadly. It seems that the Russians experimented with tardigrades, tiny resilient animals able to withstand the extremes of space radiation. The creatures survived, but not without mutation. Now the crew is exposed to aggressively mutating organisms. And after being locked in ice for 3 decades, the creatures aren't about to give up the warmth of human companionship.

If you loved the special effects in John Carpenter's The Thing, you dare not miss this film. The special effects are just unbelievable. You'll just have to see for yourself, how good they are. Obviously, when a special-FX man himself directs a picture, just as Stan Winston directed the cult horror film Pumpkinhead(1988), you'll know that you are you're in for a real treat.

The plot of the film deals with a soviet space shuttle that has crash landed into the icy cold waters of the Bering sea. A group of graduate students aboard the titular fishing trawler Harbinger, who are studying the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea, accidentally stumble upon a distress beacon which is emanating from a submerged block of ice. They recover the soviet wreckage, examine it, and find the frozen corpses of the Soviet astronauts within.

What happens next is for you to see and find out.

Verdict: a decent cast, with veteran actor Lance Henriksen at the helm. The pretty Camille Balsamo reminds me of actress Sandra Bullock. Also Winston James Francis gives a wonder performance as Big G. He reminded me of the W.W.E. wrestler Paul Donald Wight Jr.(a.k.a. Big Show). Winston is a very versatile actor. The sound-effects, photography and acting is professionally handled. It should be noted that this film began by funds from fan donations through Kickstarter.
