Fessenden, who directed, produced, cowrote, edited and even has a part in the film rightly values mood at least as much as he does delivering more abominable snow monsters.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

The problem is that the ghostly culprit, some sort of nature spirit, isn't nearly as terrifying as the arguments that Pollack makes, or the fact that the ice in such places really is weakening.

Die-hard greenies may find this as unsettling as it's meant to be. For everyone else, it's closer to an atmospheric act of recycling.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

The film isn't very interesting because it isn't well made.

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

The Last Winter's heart is in the right place, but it isn't pumping any blood.
