The Thaw
Movie • 2009 • Horror
ReportAt 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.

A dog is shot off screen, but it yelps. So cover your ears.

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.

Several scenes of heavy decomposition on humans and animals. For someone who likes gore I thought it was very well done. But if gore/decomposition is a trigger for you, I would definitely avoid this film.

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.

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

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.

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