GL84 Arriving at an Arctic research station, a group of workers and a modeling crew on a photo-shoot encounter a ravenous, genetically- modified polar bear that begins rampaging through the group and forces them to fight it off to get away alive.This here was quite a decent if still enjoyable effort. What really gives this some positives is the absolutely glorious atmosphere here as this one shows off the Arctic location incredibly well as not only the icy cold surroundings and remote, desolate landscape being featured are put to great use. Being that far from civilization and having nothing really working while being in a remote, icy-cold freezing environment with the darkness and eternal crunching snow beneath their feet makes the suspense here quite natural and believable, especially once it really turns on it's side when the beat starts attacking their camp. The early set-ups here, from the attack on the jeep out on the road to the absolutely stellar attack on the group during their photo-shoot where it comes up underneath the ice unseen and takes out the model and their guide as well as the different ambushes along the way as it takes out the different crew-members leading up to the final half which is really where this one gets plenty of enjoyable following that early set-up work. There's so much here to like, from the growing revelation of what's happening with the discovery of all the dead bodies and bringing about the massive assault on the lodge where they're all trapped inside and forced to fight it off in the cramped, closed-off surroundings as it chews its way through the remaining crew until getting the big final showdown in the middle of the woods that ends this on a bloody, brutal bang and really gives this a nice bang to leave on. Along with the strong creature effects here for the creature as it looks convincing enough and isn't CGI, there's some really good parts here that makes this enjoyable enough to hold off the few flaws on display. One of the biggest issues is the fact that the creature here isn't all that featured, barely getting any screen-time at all, either during its attacks or in the early set-up scenes so that it's hard to tell what it is had they not said what it was. The one brief shot of it off in the distance standing over it's kill doesn't give a clear look at it, and nearly all the other attacks are edited to be nearly indistinguishable what it really is as it doesn't get a whole lot of time here with this one focusing on other areas outside of the creature as there's the different groups within the crew-members, the photo-shoot and the interactions with all three here that eats up a lot more time than necessary which affects the somewhat lagging pace on display in the first half here. Otherwise, this one here wasn't all that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity, mild sexual scenes and violence-against-animals.

blackwell4 Do not waste your time. Awful dialog. Awful ( and stupid) storyline. Awful waste of my ( and your) time. Awful bear suit. The plot is reasonable, but they must have hired a fifth grader to write the script. Example: " I need blankets and hot water bottles". Really? This is 2015, no one has hot water bottles. No one even makes them anymore! This really could have been a suspenseful and dramatic movie. Instead, the unrealistic sequences and simplistic dialog were distracting from good photography, good acting, good direction, with good sets, wardrobe and lighting. It looks Ike much. Of the outdoor scenes were shot on location. The location was perfect. The indoor scenes were well set. Advice to exec producers: Next time spend a little more on the writing.

s3276169 Unnatural has the feel of a 90's horror. There's a straightforward simplicity and almost an innocence about this film that sets it apart from the standard 21st century fare. Lets start by stating the obvious. This is a "B" movie and I'll review it on that basis. Its in no way exceptional but in one sense its refreshing. Its not gratuitously violent and it has a simple premise thats not really all that new but it is moderately entertaining. The cast do a reasonable if not exceptional job and for myself I rather enjoyed this film. I also liked its message about the responsibility of corporations and science to be good governors to the planet and not destroyers. All in all, a nice little horror flick. Don't come to it with exaggerated expectations, its not a horror master class but it is certainly watchable. Six out of ten from me.

Sam Walker Predictable cannon fodderYep, we have another Made in China run of the mill cliché inducing stereotypical predictable Hollywood piece of cloned bear crap. But why, Sam, oh why do you say these things?!Example 1: beautiful people are framed by a company man telling them "It's climate changes fault!" type of back story. This is for the viewer's benefit and we must take it as given because if we questioned the company man and his marketing campaign we would realise that taking such a complex issue and condensing it into 20 seconds of monologue isn't strong enough, interesting enough or believable enough to create a goddam story we would want to pay attention to or even PAY TO WATCH! Example 2: panicking lab coat science geek shouting over the tannoy for Dr. Keller to stay out of NP2 but ooohhh no that crazy old Doc Keller and his goofy sidekick, they're just opening up that NP2 door and KUBOOOOF! Example 3: this surprised me. Annoying and overtly racist city guy sits at the dinner table up there in the cold north with his beautiful friends and the weather-beaten animal killing local hosts with whom he is engaging in witty repartee, and he does the usual thing: calls the Injun fella at the table an Injun fella and describes his people as fish on a stick types...you know where this is going. So obviously City Guy loses any remaining shred of sympathy he probably never had. The native looks on, disgusted. That should be that. But no: the native guy then slips effortlessly into exactly the stereotypical role City Guy just cast him in by telling some B.S. story about BIG MASSIVE BEARS that his tribe FEAR. And the funny thing is, we the viewers know IT'S (sort of) TRUE! HAHAHA!!And you get all of that in the first fifteen minutes. You want more, huh? THEN GO WATCH IT! WASTE YOUR OWN LIVES!
