Nanook of the North
This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

As everyone seems to indicate, the beginning of this very strongly smelled of The Thing, but once people started turning up not-dead-anymore the smell went bad.This was only a sequel to the second of the "Sometimes They Come Back" films, by way of the demonic characters wandering about in it. Those who have seen it will probably be aware that the original movie in this 'trilogy' had nothing to do with demons coming to Earth, unless you consider the ghostly bullies being sent Hellwards at the end demonic. But the film makers did try to make this one fit in with the franchise by inserting, at around 44 minutes, the names of the leading characters from the other two films (Jim Norman and John Porter) on the pentagrammed-up map of the demonic world. Nice try, but it's a bit of a weak connection.Plus the whole movie ends up generally ruined by curious spacial continuity (eg. Demons run faster than elevators), general predictability (guess where the ring ends up), unfortunate acting ("Oh my, I can't go on" *collapse* (to be fair, that must have been in the script)) and a dire ending. And, as has been noted by others, Leeta was a much better female lead than Ms Faith Ford. Sorry, I meant Chase Masterson, not Leeta... Silly me.Don't avoid this movie. Just be aware you might not enjoy it...

"Sometimes They Come Back...For More" is a really underrated entry in the series.**SPOILERS**After losing contact, Captain Sam Cage, (Clayton Rohner) and Major Callie O'Grady, (Chase Masterson) arrive at the Antarctic research station Erebus and look into the facility. Only able to find Dr. Jennifer Wells, (Faith Ford) and Lieutenant Shebanski, (Max Perlich) they tell them what happened to the rest of the crew at the station. Bunkered down for the night, the frozen bodies of the dead members start disappearing and when they reappear, they attacked the remaining survivors and slowly whittle down the group. Trying to find out what has happened, they find that a cult of Devil worshipers are at the base and using it as a launching pad to bring an ancient demon back to life. Forced to defend themselves against the remaining crew, they try to get it under control before the cult is able to complete it's mission.The Good News: This one here isn't all that bad when it gets going. Once this gets going at the end, it has a lot to offer it. There's a really spectacular section where the action is seen through the eyes of a remote-controlled camera car running through the facility, which features a couple really nice stunts and several suspenseful moments, especially when it comes down to the sequence where they discover the Satanic Altar. That is a really creepy scene that gets some good points going for it, and it ends with the film's one true jump scene. That soon leads into a really great brawl that gets in some pretty nice fighting. It flows along nicely and has some fun along the way. There's even some really great deaths as the result of the this, including some really gory gunshots, a pickax in the chest, speared through the back with a harpoon, stabbed in the back with a huge butcher knife and there's even a few who get frozen solid. These here are all quite fun, and get the film going along nicely. It even manages to get in some outstanding creepy scenes before the film gets going. The big one is a chilling scene where footsteps are heard overhead and they are forced to follow it from below using only the sounds made, and from there it soon becomes apparent that there's someone out there, only it's unknown at the point what it is. Several of the body disappearances do work, and the mystery about what's going on at the place is handled quite well. This one is pretty creepy at times and is a really nice plus for the film as well.The Bad News: This one doesn't have a lot of problems, but instead has a couple of really big flaws. One is that this one really comes across as a low-concept remake of another, really easily noticeable classic in the genre. From the Arctic location, the cast who don't get along and the mysteriously disappearing and then reanimated later are all quite easily ones to be found in here. This here really makes the film feel really unoriginal and it makes the film feel really cheap, which is the film's other big flaw. There's never an opportunity where this one doesn't feel like a giant underground station, or even a sense of space here. It feels way too cramped in, and this hardly looks like a place where a lot of people could've been stationed in with much of a sense that it's there for everyone. The cheapness extends to several other big areas, and really does make this one feel like a big flaw at times. The last flaw is that there's hardly any need for the back-story of the film. It takes away from the flow and momentum it has and becomes distracting. Otherwise, there isn't much wrong with it.The Final Verdict: Even though this one isn't anywhere near original and comes off as a clone of another film, this is still a rewarding experience at times. Really recommended to those who enjoyed the others, while those aren't that big on these kind will probably find this one to be quite painful to sit through.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity

Sometimes They Come Back... for More has two M.P.'s Captain Sam Cage (Clayton Rohner) & Major Callie O'Grady (Chase Masterson) dispatched to a military base in the Antartic named Arebus, officially a research facility but in reality an illegal mining base. Their brief is that Arebus has a crew of six & one of them has gone 'postal', it's their job to sort things out. A helicopter drops them in & they quickly find Major Frank Whittaker (Stephen Hart) frozen solid in the snow outside the base, upon entering the base they find medical officer Dr. Jennifer Wills (Faith Ford) & technician Lieutenant Brian Shebanski (Max Perlich) who show them the frozen body of Lieutenant Baines (Douglas Stoup) & say that the remaining two members of the crew, Captain Robert Reynolds (Michael Stadvec) & Dr. Carl Schilling (Damian Chapa) are somewhere outside in the tunnels they have mined. The mystery deepens as Baines body disappears & the radio is trashed, could the puzzling events be connected to something Dr. Schilling discovered in the icy tunnels below the Antartic surface...Directed by Daniel Zelik Berk I thought Sometimes They Come Back... for More was an OK way to pass the time but ultimately disappointed. The script by Adam Grossman & Darryl Sollerh starts off really well as everything is kept as mysterious as possible, the film gradually unravels into a weak climax involving Brothers who are 1000's of years old & the resurrection of Satan which is all rather silly & doesn't sit that well with what has gone before. The character's are pretty good, the dialogue is fine, it moves along at a fair pace & the basic story manages to do a decent job of both gripping & engaging the viewer. The film obviously reminds of The Thing (1982) although that's where the comparisons stop. It kept me watching throughout but I couldn't help but think that the climax isn't worth watching the first 90 minutes for which is a shame as I thought the set-up was well executed & deserved better. One more thing, I don't think the U.S. military would send just two soldiers (no medic either?) out for a rescue mission in horrendous weather & just leave them there with no radio contact except what was available at Arebus (what if it was broken?), I don't think so...Director Berk does an OK job here & there is some decent atmosphere & tension. The Antartic is a great place to set a horror film & makes for a harsh, cold, desolate, unforgiving & isolated location. I don't know why more horror films aren't set in either Pole, perhaps it's the technical problems associated with filming in the conditions. Forget about any blood or gore as there isn't any but the film relies more on atmosphere & story for it's effectiveness.With a budget of about $2,000,000 Sometimes They Come Back... for More is technically a very solid film, it's far from spectacular but since it was actually shot in Antartica, according to the IMDb, it has a definite chilly feel throughout. The acting was pretty good although I wasn't to impressed with leading man Rohner.Sometimes They Come Back... for More started well & showed promise but it's almost as if the filmmakers didn't know where to go with the set-up & it all ends rather lamely with a weak climax. Worth a watch but don't expect a masterpiece. The third in the Sometimes They Come Back... series of films this has no connection with the previous two & in fact is also known as Frozen & Ice Station Erebus & I wonder whether this was even conceived as a sequel or a stand alone film?
