The Thaw


At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students discover the true horror of global warming: not the melting ice, but what’s frozen within it. When a prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a woolly mammoth, the students are forced to quarantine and make necessary sacrifices to prevent infecting the rest of the world.
