Roughing it in the Canadian wilderness.

Nice accommodations eh?
I didn't hear any generator running with all the power they were using.
All the luxuries of a fine lodge, but no way to communicate with the outside world, even with a satellite dish. But they can always ride their snowmobile through the trees, rather than take the nicely maintained road.
I guess biologists aren't allowed to have a gun for protection, but they can use a tranquilizer gun (that looks like a super soaker) as a last hope.

Yeah, no rifle but they have a flair gun and a tranq-gun, which they never seem to have with them when they need it.

Everything is suspiciously new, the equipment the cabin, the vehicles, but nothing seems to work.

They've been coming out to this location to study lynx for a few years according the dialogue, whatever happened to scientists and researchers in locations like the one in "The Thing" either version, take your pick?

They must be getting really fantastic grant money.

I was thinking the same thoughts! It also drove me nuts that this movie almost had an anti-gunnie vibe with the chick all like "YOU HAVE A GUN?!?" Ummm.... duh! Then, they showed the kiddie toy. I just face-palmed.

Hey you!

I'm watching this thing right now, literally. I had to stop to add a goof or two the list.

As long as you don't take this seriously at all, it rates a B+ for the cinematography alone. The acting's not too awful either. Not too awful. But the editing and continuity errors increase exponentially from approximately 45:04 when Rob falls through the Snow Beast's skylight. I mean, how square can a "jagged" accidently hole in the snow be, for gawd's sake?

Marcie has no problem taking photos with those clunky man-sized gloves but she can't put the key back into the ignition? Which btw, I didn't see her remove and wouldn't you just leave the key in anyway? Whose going to still the truck; the Snow Beast?

I about feel out of my chair when the Beast rises up from behind the log with that hand in it's mouth, ha!

And the tranq-gun, why didn't the guys take the gun? it was on the floor board of the truck? The luxury cabin in the woods is a riot, too.

there should be no reason why the truck won't start, either. It all rolls down hill from there doesn't it?

Woe is me! I only have 30 minutes to go. Why do they have to fix the satalite to call for help? Won't their radios work? What ever happened to ham radios out in the wilderness anyway?

They had a kitchen to die for. I wish mine had those marble tops.
