Deep within the snowbound monoliths of the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Franklin Vick is struggling to perfect the fine art of resurrection. Bringing the dead back to life is a tricky game though, and in order to truly carry out his research Dr. Franklin is going to need an assistant. Despite the highly controversial and blatantly unethical nature of Dr. Franklin's research, troubled medical student Adam Schmidt casts aside his doubts and hastily makes way for the doctor's snowbound laboratory to help take part in the potentially historic discovery. As the pair work feverishly to perfect their resurrection methods, they quickly find out that although death may not be as permanent as medical science presently dictates, it most certainly has some troubling side effects.
I failed to understand the point of this film. A doctor keeps killing a guy and bringing him back to life for what? Just to prove he could do it? To create a race of zombies that can last forever? Maybe if there was some interaction with the outside world, there could have been some interesting drama, but it took place in a remote cabin in the mountains, so the entire film had only 5 or 6 characters (2 of which were never heard from again after the beginning of the film). There's only so much "Here, drink this" and "Let's go for a hike in the snow" that I could take. It got very repetitive and ended with a slightly surprising twist that really should have been the beginning and would have made for a much more interesting film.
