Struggling to endure the decline of the fur trade, and beset with a murderous hunger, the occupants of a remote outpost in 1800's Canada recruit American mercenary, Cole Franklin, as a hired gun and guide. Tasked with leading a trading party to a nearby Indigenous village, any hope for salvation is soon dashed when the quest evolves into a terrifying fight for survival. As the half-crazed keepers of the Fort plunge their people further into mortal danger, madness ensues and the casualties stack-up, forcing Cole to put his military expertise to unlikely use: uniting the rag-tag band who remain against a dark evil, one that brings an insatiable hunger for flesh.

4.5/5
Walker captures that very particular species of fear which comes with the recognition that one is being preyed upon. There is also, here, that vital element of the uncanny, something no serious Lovecraft-themed film can go without. Go to Full Review Andrew Mack ScreenAnarchy 2d
