Synopsis

At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students discover the real horror of global warming is not the melting ice, but what's frozen within it. A prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a Woolly Mammoth upon the unsuspecting students who are forced to quarantine and make necessary sacrifices, or risk infecting the rest of the world.

Again, there are several insinuations/hints that several characters in the film had already committed suicide or were going to. But there is never a visual of a suicide. Just minor conversation. Very minor.

They use “drugs” as in medicine. They use morphine or some type of sedative several times throughout the film.

No spiders but the main “bug” in the film has multiple legs and sort of millipede looking. Like a millipede pincher bug.

It is insinuated that several people were going (or already did) d!e by way of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But nothing is ever shown on screen.

A character has a severe bug phobia, which is a prominent part of the plot.

Quick alternating between light and dark scenes in opening sequence, which may trigger photosensitive seizures.
