Cold Skin (2017)

On the brink of war, a meteorologist takes over his post for a year on an arctic island which reveals evolutionary secrets at night.

Interesting concept for a horror movie. It starts with simple expectations about its negative characters - monsters in this case - and finishes with reversing the roles by turning the analysis onto human nature. Without having to choose despicable human characters, the film demonstrates that the desire and need to feel superior and king and not just one of the many is often hidden even in those who manage to maintain the appearance of scruples.
Well done, often poetic and emotional, the film will pleasantly surprise fans of the genre as well those who just happen to come across it.

Director: Xavier Gens
With: Ray Stevenson, David Oakes, Aura Garrido

Rating: 8/10
