Ice Sharks (2016)
Arctic Antarctic blurry Shark confusion
A group of scientists at a polar science station are attacked by supernatural sharks and massacred.
A hunter needs help at 72,55 N 108,25 West (off the coast of Victoria Island, Nunavut). Our protagonist scientists pull out a map to see if they can help the hunter in need. The map they pull out is of Ross Island (Antarctica), they look at it and determine that the hunter is only 5 miles away from their station so they decide to help. Despite looking at the wrong map they manage to find the remains of the hunter and his dogs with ease. They determine that "something is wrong here" when they are attacked by sharks. They survive the ordeal and hurry back to the science station to take shelter. Unfortunately, the station itself soon comes under attack from sharks and the scientists now have to fight for their survival.
This movie is a typical Asylum/SyFy B-movie with an interesting premise, some good action and poor, blurry special effects. I liked a lot in this movie, but not the shark-effects. If you've watched Asylum movies before, you already know what to expect.
The Head (2020)
Antarctica murder mystery
Very good story in a cool setting. Only detractor is the boring relation between the investigator, Johan, and his annoying go-getter wife, Annika. And the moralizing. Moral of the story: men are stupid and horny. Women are smart and under-appreciated.
A young woman, Margaret Mitchell, fakes her resume to land a job as a doctor in Antarctica at Polaris Station VI. Her hidden motive is to find out what happened to her mother, Sarah Jackson, who died 7 years earlier when a fire broke out at her workplace, Polaris Station V. She befriends one of the other women, Annika, who tells her that she saw Sarah Jackson get sexually assaulted and accidentally killed by the horny male lead scientist at the station. Annika goes on to tell Margaret that she convinced all the other employees to cover up Sarahs death by setting Polaris V on fire. Margaret takes revenge by going on a murder spree, killing almost everybody, except the lead scientist, who is framed for the murders. It is revealed that Margaret Mitchells real name is Olivia Jackson and that the murders were planned along with her sister.
