Trivia

The HMS Fury was abandoned in August 1825 in Prince Regent Inlet between Somerset Island and the Brodeur Peninsula in the Canadian Arctic. Prince Regent Inlet was located in the British Arctic Territory, and today (as of 2012) is located in the Nunavut Territory of Canada. The HMS Heckla (named after the Icelandic volcano) survived the expedition and was sold in 1831.

Goofs

The scientist suggests that "panspermia" explains that the organism got picked up from the atmosphere of one of the gas giant planets and carried to earth; that's not quite right, panspermia would be the theory that the organism got picked up from the atmosphere of one of the gas giant planets and carried to earth, and became the ancestor of all life on earth, which is obviously not the case in this movie.

User Reviews

Ice ice baby

A group led by Dean Cain is searching for a long-lost ship in the Arctic and unwittingly unleashes an alien creature that looks like it's made of ice. It is drawn to any heat source, human beings included. A couple of scenes are faintly reminiscent of THE THING, but this is a paint by the numbers plot where we simply wait to see whom the monster will kill next. The monster itself is unimpressive, resembling something from an old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer cartoon. I have seen Dean Cain in several other no-budget TV movies like this, and often wonder how he ever ended up in them. He isn't a bad actor. So I assume he has a bad manager.
