We fit an awful lot of stuff into one episode of "Reel Talk"...but there's only so much we can cover in one half hour...so here are some thoughts on a couple of films that I’ve seen recently that Jeffrey and I didn't review on the show.

"The Last Winter".... an effectively chilling horror film set at an arctic research station. This has all the classic elements of the horror set-up.... an intimate group of mix-gender 'types' are stranded in a remote location when strange things start to happen. Larry Fessenden directs an interesting cast....Ron Perlman blustering away, James Legros as the voice of reason and Connie Britton and Kevin Corrigan.

Of course, people start dying one by one, and all hope of rescue is lost early on. This had me going until the very end, where some sketchy special effects blew it. But for what I imagine was a small budget, I thought it was well done and suspenseful.
