THE LAST WINTER is a cold, hope-destroying creeper of a movie. It has a thick atmosphere of mounting, inescapable doom. Though it is a bit preachy, wearing its politics clearly on its parka sleeve, it's also a well-told horror story. It's sort of like a frozen version of SESSION 9.
The only true quibble would be with the use of dubious CGI. Though it's understandable, it still takes us right out of the movie due to its artificial appearance. The argument can be made that simply not showing the supernatural menace would have been far more effective.
The film's biggest asset is Ron Perlman as the strong-willed, ultra-dedicated Ed Pollack. Perlman always gets the job done, and his role is pivotal.
