Synopsis:
WENDIGO
George (Jake Weber, Dawn of the Dead [2004]), his wife Kim (Patricia Clarkson, High Art and TV's Six Feet Under), and their son Miles (Erik Per Sullivan, TV's Malcolm In the Middle) leave their home in Manhattan for a winter respite in Upstate New York, looking for some much-needed rest and relaxation. On their drive north, the family is involved in a sudden accident when George hits a deer that runs across an icy road, setting the stage for a snowbound supernatural showdown between them and the titular Wendigo, a grotesque legendary beast from Native American folklore.
THE LAST WINTER
At the remote Alaskan base of an oil company, hard-headed base leader Ed Pollack (Ron Perlman, Hellboy) faces off with eco-scientist James Hoffman (James Le Gros, Living In Oblivion), who has raised concerns about the environmental impact of the drilling in the area due to the abnormally warm temperatures in the region. When one of Pollack's crew is found dead on the ice, and members of his team start experiencing hallucinations, Hoffman turns to a scientific explanation despite signs pointing towards something more supernatural at play.
