The Thaw

As a recognized environmental attorney, dr. David Kruipen, discovers a prehistoric species in the inland ice, he takes a team of four ecology students on a research mission to a remote base in the Arctic. The group makes a discovery that goes beyond their wildest fantasies. An unknown and lethal parasite has been revived and is now searching for a new and warm-blooded host., A team of ecology students led by a famous environmental advocate discovers that some secrets are better left buried when they unearth the perfectly preserved remains of a frozen wooly mammoth and discover that an ancient parasite has been incubating inside the beast for centuries. Dr. David Krupien (Val Kilmer) is examining a melting ice cap in the Arctic when he unearths a prehistoric specimen the likes of which researchers have never seen. Elated by the possibilities of such a remarkable find, Dr. Krupien hastily summons four of his brightest students to the base to take part in the excavation. But something isn’t right; soon after extracting the massive prehistoric creature from the ice, the students are besieged by a swarm of unidentified insects that burrow deep into the flesh, and lay eggs in their host to reproduce. With each new infection, the prospect of containing the parasitic bane decreases. Now, stranded in the Arctic with their numbers quickly dwindling, the desperate students realize that their only hope of preventing the parasite from reaching the general population is to quarantine the base, even if it costs them their lives., This visceral shocker follows four ecology students who are faced with an impossible decision after a deadly parasite is unleashed and they must either run for their lives or sacrifice themselves for the sake of humanity.
