Russell is being summoned by Medora to the village of Keelut, Alaska when her 6-year-old son, Bailey was believed to have been killed by wolves. It was the fourth case of wolf-killing. Russell was summoned because he is a writer that studies wolf behavior and Medora believes that Russell will be able to find Bailey.

Medora shares all the details of the incident with Russell but Russell thinks that those are not the normal  behavior of wolves. 

Meahwhile, Medora's husband, Vernon who is in Iraq, has to be brought home after he was shot in an ambush.

Meanwhile, while looking for the boy, Russell meets an old woman, Illanaq who tells him that he is looking at wrong way and he should be focusing on Medora. He then returns to Medora's house to find that Medora is missing. When he finds Bailey's frozen and strangled body in the cellar, he cries for help. The villagers tell him that Medora is possessed by a wolf-demon called tournaq that made her killed Bailey.

Vernon arrives at the airport and was brought to the morgue, where he kills the officers and the coroners before taking Bailey's body into the wood where he buries the body in the snow.

Realising that Vernon might have something to do with the death of his boy, Russell returns to the village only to find Illanaq dead. The police questions Vernon's friend, Cheeon about his whereabouts. Without actually telling them anything, Cheeon starts to open-fire on everyone before he was killed. 

While looking for Medora, Vernon meets John, an elderly hunter who has treated him with wolf-oil when he was a child. He kills John and runs out of the place. An innkeeper fires on him and manages to hurt him.

Will Russell be able to solve the case?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.3/ 5.0 It was eerie in the beginning. And there are gory scenes. It gets more twisted as the movie goes on. 

Cast: 4.0/ 5.0 Great performance from the cast. 

Will I watch it again: I most probably will. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.

  2. Not my kind of genre, but might watch it as I'm intrigued by the Arctic region. And I think wolves are majestic creatures, although I wouldn't want to encounter one in real life!
