The fine folks over at Revolver Entertainment sent us word today that they are prepping to release director Larry Fessenden's chilly horror/thriller The Last Winter on August 6th in the UK.

The film, starring Ron Perlman and James LeGros, has not been getting much press, but it may end up being one of those sleeper DVD hits. The synopsis makes it sound like a good attempt to capture the fear and paranoia of The Thing...

"In one of the world’s most immaculate landscapes, an oil research team is working to exploit the rich oil resources of beautiful, untouched Alaska. After the death of one crew member a slowly creeping sense of disorientation gradually claims the sanity of the other team members, as each one succumbs to an overwhelming terror of an unknown evil.

This stealthy dread increases and peaks when a plane crash wreaks havoc on the team, destroying their camp and forcing two of the members out into the freezing cold on a desperate journey to find help. Alone in a rapidly unraveling world, they can never be sure whether they are being stalked by an invisible phantom or their minds are playing cruel tricks on them."

While you wait for the release, check out the trailer here.
